My week wasn’t too shabby. I was able to enjoy myself... a little bit.
Last Monday after pday a super cool member took us out to BurgerIM. It’s a burger place that sells sliders. So you can order two or three burgers at a time. They were really good. I had a salmon burger, beef burger, and tried a lamb one. They also had some tasty wings. They must know Hebrew or something because IM is used to make things plural right dad? Something like that. I ate way too much though. The past four weeks we’ve been fed a ton of food and I haven’t been working out
as diligently so sadly I’ve gained weight haha. I looked at photos of me in the MTC and I was way skinny. I was 145 then and now I’m 163. Gee wiz. Time to shave some pounds! Basically I’m sick of eating fast food, I don’t drink soda anymore either. Yuck. (Except I’ll have a Dr Pepper once in a blue moon)
Tuesday was super good, but long. From 9 until 4 we had Zone Conference. We woke up, got ready super fast and headed over to the church. The meeting was really good and I learned a lot of stuff. Our convert Carmen shared her testimony and it was so good. Everyone after was telling me how awesome she is. Feels good that all my work paid off. Lol. I was asked on the spot to give a talk too. I think I did an alright job. Had interviews with President too. I love him so much! We always have the best interviews. Based on my interview three things can happen next transfer. I’m either training, becoming a district leader, or going zone leader. We talked about all 3 in the interview so who knows. Maybe I’ll stay a normal missionary too. We will see in a week. We made a video for zone conference and played it for everyone. It was about introducing our investigators to the bishop. Everyone was laughing so hard. I was the star too After Zone Conference we had dinner and then went to mutual!
Wednesday I spent a lot of time planning our district meeting with Riches . We planned an amazing race themed meeting and it was super fun. Everyone loved it, but I’ll get to that later. We ate with the Rodriguez again and afterwards took the other Elders a few places. That night we exchanged with the zone leaders at 8. I went with my good buddy Elder Johnson to his area. That night we visited a recent convert who is a health specialist. For free she did all these tests on us and told us our body age. Basically I’m 20 years old but my body feels like 30. Thanks dad. Haha
Thursday was super fun. Elder Johnson and I had little sleep because we couldn’t stop talking the night before. We were tried in the morning. We taught an English class that morning to a few people. We had some studies and he Bought us subway. That night too we went to a bomb dinner. We ate chicken, asparagus, rice, and had some delicious juice.
Friday was nuts. Super early I went with Riches to set up the amazing race at a park. We had stations that started in the park and ended in the church and they had to race and complete each one. At the start I was the host and introduced every team and everything. Then we had them race to find their team flags. Who ever brought me theirs first got to start first. Then the next would have to wait for a little bit before starting and so on. The first station was an activity at this play ground a ways away where they had to find pass along cards with scriptures on them. There was a detour option too where if they shared the scripture with a person they could skip a few stations. Two teams did that. After that we had lunch with Carmen. We had some super good food. That night we ate with the Fuentes too. They are one of my favorite families.
Saturday was super good too. We visited a few people in the morning then all afternoon we spent helping the Fuentes family at his mechanic shop. We chopped down tree branches and moved tires. We used machetes of course. They fed us some really good chicken too. Carmen’s family and them are really good friends too so they were there as well.
Sunday was pretty neat. Church was really good. We had 3 investigators there which was good. After we ate with the tenorios like usual. That always make super good and healthy food. It’s the best. It’s my mission to make them laugh every time I go over. Let’s just say I’m pretty successful at that. That night we had a fireside at president Rascon’s house. It was for less active, investigators, and recent converts. Carmen came with her kids. It was really good too. He shared some things and the missionaries sang. I made sure to add my birthday on his calendar too. We had cake and ice cream there. Carmen really enjoyed it and it was good for her eldest daughter that came. She’s investigating still. Her 15 yr old daughter is the one we are baptizing this weekend.
It was a pretty good week. Have a good week guys! Love y’all.
