Un misionero con dulces

Day: Monday

Pushup Count: 346

Muy buenos días a todos! Como andan? This week was super long and kinda hot. We keep getting extreme heat alerts even though this is just average weather haha. Pray for me in August . Anyways, aquí es lo que pasó:

- We played mini golf for pday activity last week and took it way too seriously. I won by 10 strokes and we all had a blast 

- Then we got ramen... Basically just like the packaged stuff but less salty 

- We went to Circle K and bought slurpees for bonka 

- We had a wonderful ward FHE where only one active member showed up  

- We found out the other two missionaries in our ward were leaving, very sad, so we went and visited our favorite member family together. They bought us pizza and let us take pictures on their "couch"

- The legendary Miguel from Delano came and visited us and gave us ice cream

- Bishop gave us lots of chocolate 

- I found out that front porches on certain houses can be 20° hotter than the street

- We decided to do some door knocking in the morning... Still kinda hot but a nice change for sure

- Transfer news came out and I'm still here in Shafter with Elder Winkler  he goes home this transfer though, so there's a chance of me being here for a very long time

- We rescheduled Paul's baptism so that more of the ward could attend, and he's still super excited 

- We finally got to try Zeb's legendary cookies and he taught us how to work out our mitochondria (which is now just a huge joke ) 

- I learned some cool new Mexican slang 

- Of course, we saw more dead frogs

Like I said, it was a really long week, but it was good. I'm excited, this is going to be a great transfer! Let me know how y'all are doing, love you tons! 

Spiritual Thought:

Matthew 11:28-30:

"(28) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

(29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 

(30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" 

I've felt Christ taking up my burdens so much this week. I'll be honest, we did a lot of walking around in the heat this week, and it wasn't exactly the easiest thing I've ever done. But all I had to do was say and little prayer and have some faith, and Christ got me through it and helped me be excited to do it the next day. I hope y'all can apply this scripture to whatever you're going through. Don't forget that Christ is there! 

Muchísimo amor,
