Un misionero que no está de acuerdo

Day: almost Easter 

Pushup Count: 280

Buenos días a todos! Another busy week gone by and things are going good here in "Chafter"  Here's some highlights:

- We played pickleball for pday activity and got destroyed by everyone in the 65+ community

- I went on an exchange with my trainer!  It was super fun, I learned a lot, and he beat me at Magic just like old times

- We taught a drunk guy in the park and then ended up guiding him to the church even though he should not have been driving 

- We were planning in the park when two ladies that had been taught a bit in the past came up to us. One said that she felt really strong that she should talk to us, so we started talking. We ended up having a very powerful lesson on Christ and forgiveness, with lots of tears and spirit :)

- I cut some peoples hair and messed up one of them pretty bad, but luckily he knew a lot about cutting hair so he walked me through how to fix it and we were fine 

- We almost hit a dog on the way back to Shafter one night (literally missed it by inches)

- We had zone conference and I promise I tried to have a good attitude about it but it was still long. I also brought the wrong suit coat so I had to wear it just when I was sitting so that I wouldn't look incredibly dumb 

- We ran into a dude knocking doors and got "nice bashed" for a bit so that was fun  and then the next day someone knocked on OUR door and tried to convert us - super weird to be on the other side of that lol

- It's been raining the last couple days so knocking has been fun 

- Someone let us in and immediately asked us if we had any weed cause he just finished the last bit he had... And then he told us that he always has the spirit of God within his heart... And that his heart has a brain... 

- We walked by this family grilling outside and we said hi so they let us in and we ate food with these complete strangers (as you do as a missionary) and we taught them about the book of Mormon

I'll be honest, now that I'm writing this email I'm realizing how long this week was. I feel like the beginning of this week was years ago haha . But that's how it is sometimes, especially when you head to a new area. Let me know if you're week was super long too, I love to hear from y'all :)

Spiritual Thought

This week I was thinking a lot about questions (especially after multiple people tried to convert us ). I'll be honest, I have lots of questions. I most definitely don't know everything. However, when I have questions I know that I can find an answer through the gospel of Jesus Christ that I know and love. Lots of people asked us questions this week trying to trick us or get us to slip up or lo que sea. The funny thing was, all these crazy questions had super simple answers. Answers that I'm so grateful to have as a member of the church of Jesus Christ. I've still got a long way to go, but that's okay cause I have Jesus :) So if you have questions or doubts, that's awesome! How else are you going to learn? Pray a lot and search the scriptures and you'll find an answer 

Mucho amor,
