Un misionero rodeado de locos

Day: pday before the temple :)

Pushup Count: 244

It was a good week, and I remembered to journal!  Some highlights:

- Last pday Elder Dewey had to get some bloodwork done I got to go to a hospital and sit for an hour (this week won't take as long )

- A giant rooster joined us for weekly planning

- I taught Elder Dewey how to play Magic and then beat him twice :/

- We had zone conference and I didn't fall asleep this time! Except in order to do that I had to start drawing every time I started to get tired so I still missed some stuff but idk many it's still better jaja

- We got a referral that lived in a tiny town about twenty minutes south of Bakes, except we didn't have his address, just the town. So naturally, we decided to go down there and knock every door to try and find him. While down there, we got chased by three separate very angry very large dogs and an angry old Latino man with a knife... Oh and we never found the refferal or anyone who knew him. Let's just say we're not going back down there any time soon 

- Elder Hanson put dishsoap in the dishwasher so we came home to a flooded kitchen floor and lots of bubbles 

- We rescued my old companion Elder Westerby from a car dealership where they were fixing his car and we went to lunch together

- We had a lesson where we did nothing but answer questions for an hour

- I ate a cold sandwich covered in nacho cheese from a member

- A crazy lady showed up on our porch, and us being missionaries did everything we could to try to help her but we eventually had to shoo her away 

- We had another lesson in a shed  (btw salvadoreño accents have been absolutely killing me this week)

- I was prepped to speak Spanish at a door contact but she answered in English so I said "hey, we're looking for the family of Rodriguez" 

- As we were leaving a friend's house he goes, “not to sound racist or anything, but watch out for them black folks”... Soooo yeah that was awkward 

- We taught the plan of salvation for an hour and a half because they had so many questions — we ended up using a stuffed duck along with my little Plan de Salvación model to explain it all

- I taught a Peruvian family the word "lit"... It was lit

Anyways yeah, aquí andamos en la chamba. Just grinding and loving every minute of it 

Spiritual Thought

A cool thought from zone conference: Jesus Christ never stops loving us, even if we sin. But if we're not following him, the bad things in our lives block us from that love. Through repentance and change, we get to feel that love again, which is super cool! So remember that He loves you and that he never stops, sometimes we just need to ask to feel His love again, and that's okay :)

Tengan un buen día,
