Un misionero agotado

Day: a couple days before transfers...

Pushup Count: 232

Buenos días mis amigos! Not gonna lie, this week hasn't been the best. It was super long, but we did have some success teaching so that makes up for it! I also remembered to journal a little bit more this week (including one really long entry ). Hightlights:

- Tuesday we had our weekly meeting with President, and he gave us some insane news for the next transfer. I can't really say much about the details, but I found out I will be getting a new companion this week

- We filmed the music video that we recorded last week

- One night we got back to the apartment and the door was locked.... We never lock the door cause we don't have a key, so after the other Elders didn't answer the phone, we went and got taco bell before realizing we could just get in through the back door 

- We went to MLC, which in the past was like walking into the lions den for SAs, but we just presented a new resource we made and it all went well. I also got to see my amazing trainer Elder Vasquez 

- A Peruvian girl tried to get me to say a Spanish tongue twister and I was so scared that she was trying to get me to say something bad

- We visited a member without realizing that she had signed up to feed us the next night, so we got two meals with them in two days

- I learned how to make a Siri voice on the computer and how to play golden hour on the piano

- We got dominoes for the third Saturday in a row

- We taught a lesson in a shed and one outside in a welding yard

- We went to go contact a referral and as we walked up to the house, the neighbor told us "that's a really bad house, don't go in there". So naturally, we continued forward  we ended up talking to a very drunk man who gave us super weird vibes so we dipped pretty quick

- I had a weird interaction on Facebook where he seemed interested, then bashed the prophet, then asked for a book of Mormon. I could tell he was messing with me, but I wasn't gonna deny anyone a BoM so I was very clear that I needed specific information from him. He couldn't give it to me, and then he used some choice words so I got to block him 

- The other Elders went on exchanges so we got to hang out with their dl again

- We played a game where the members guessed our first names, and they were able to guess everyone else's names (even Dawson and Jamon) but not mine 

- The morning smog was so thick today that we could stare directly at the sun with no problems  For those of you who don't know, the morning smog here is basically just like a southern California coastal fog, except super polluted, smells bad, and feels like you're breathing in the smoke of a dumpster fire 

Anyways, just kinda tired over here. It might be the 7 week transfer or the fact that I know I'm getting a new companion. Either way, we keep grinding and trying to bring people to Christ  Love you all, let me know how you're doing!

Spiritual Thought

My Spanish has been struggling a lot lately, but yesterday we had a lesson where the spirit was extra strong and I was able to communicate super clearly what I wanted to say. It just showed me that the Holy Ghost really will bring all things to our remembrance, but not only that, he knows our needs and our fears and he'll help us out when we need him to.

Mucho amor,

Literally all I took this week was Elder Reynolds on a piano bench again
