Un misionero con fuego

Day: the beginning of a cool Bakersfield summer 

Pushup Count: 340

¡Hola a todos! ¿Como les va? This was an exhausting week for sure. The closer we get to summer the harder it gets to have the willpower to be outside all day haha. I'm counting myself lucky though because it's been a relatively cool spring. Anyways, here's what happened this week:

- We kicked things off with an exchange to oildale where I didn't get robbed... Success 

- We set up a ton of lessons that didn't got through

- So we knocked a ton of doors 

- We had some lessons that did go through 

- We went to a pickup lesson with two guys that ended up not being home, but their dad let us in anyway and we taught him and gave him a Book of Mormon

- We showed up an hour late to a graduation party and it still hadn't started... But they gave us food to go 

- An inactive member gave us perros calientes that were super good

- We were at the park and the chamacos lit off another firework in the bathroom... And then they started a gas fire another night so we got to watch the fire department come and put it out  

- I drank the best horchata I've had so far

- I played the piano for choir, sacrament meeting, and primary... Fun day 

- A member of the seventy came to our ward and gave a fire testimony. He also speaks Spanish like a native Mexican even though he's just not at all... Goals 

- We went to a coffee shop for companion study and a random member from Bakersfield bought us breakfast  being a missionary has it's perks

Okay so turns out nothing really interesting happened this week, but that's okay. We really just did a lot of tracting, which I enjoy so it was fun. Wish me luck this week. I have transfers and 105° heat in my forecast :)

Spiritual Thought:

I'm reading through the New Testament all the way for the first time and I'm nearing the end  but here's some verses that I loved from 1 Peter 2:

"(21) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: (24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (25) For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."

Christ was perfect, and because of His perfect sacrifice, we can be too someday. Even when we go astray, we can come back to him and find peace 

Muchísimo amor,
