Un misionero el la oficina

Day: lunes! (cause I'm in a Spanish area now ) 

Pushup Count: 172

Hola mi gente! Como están? This week has been crazy busy, which unfortunately means that my journaling lacked a little bit. But I'll try to remember as much as I can. Highlights:

- Zone conferences! Being companions with the SA lead means that you go on exchanges while he presents at every ZC - not super fun

- I sorted through about a thousand Google drive files (not exaggerating) and completely reorganized our mission social media folders

- We had the boldest lesson ever where my comp literally asked our friend why she won't just get baptized tomorrow 

- We went to the mall for pday last week and that was a trip for sure

- Our district leader got hit by a car (he's totally fine) 

- The air quality was so bad that the mission made us wear crazy masks 

- We had to cover 3 areas on exchanges - I thought I was organized but holy cow that's tough

- I watched a stranger do a pushup with my DL on his back

- We're planning to make a music video for the mission FB page, and I'm super stoked to get to use my nerdy music skills

- I ate two dinners within an hour of each other 

- Zone conference killed me again - one of these days I'll be able to stay awake the whole time

- I got to see my trainer again! 

- We were at a member meal and the Hermana asked me if I wanted seconds. I told her "solo un poquito" and she proceeded to give me even more than the first plate. Once I forced that down, she gave us dessert, which was the most filling arroz con leche ever, and I almost exploded. It was a mental battle for real y'all

- I asked a guy if he knew any ways to work out your biceps without doing curls, and he then showed me 4 different variations of curls 

- I got to play an electric guitar last night and I've literally forgotten everything... also it was locked in standard tuning so I couldn't even play the songs that I could remember

Things are going good here. Social media work is improving in the mission and my Spanish is slowly getting better. Living in a quad is so much fun and I can already tell it's gonna be super weird to leave (but we've got a long time before that ). 

Spiritual Thought:

When I left the MTC I promised to read the Book of Mormon every day for the rest of my life. Since then, I've missed a couple days, so I technically already broke my promise, but that's why we have repentance, right? I notice that when I make a conscious effort to study the scriptures every day, I feel the spirit so much stronger. It makes it easier to get through the hard days and to choose the right in hard situations. I want to issue the same challenge to y'all to read the Book of Mormon every day - you'll see blessings immediately. God wants to give them to you, you just have to put in the effort. He loves you! 

Love you all,
