Un misionero con una rana viva

Day: a cooler one 

Pushup Count: 352

Buenos días mi gente! Como están? Another long week here in Shafter and I kinda loved it  We did a lot of door knocking and had a lot of lessons fall through (stay tuned for the final total), but we got to speak a lot of Spanish and have a lot of fun. Here's the highlights:

- President Burton joined us for a game of speed 

- We listened to old man Carlos tell stories for an hour before he let us share anything...

- We had an awesome lesson with Bishop and his wife about the restoration and their conversion story

- We had zone conference in Bakersfield and yours truly played the piano

- We visited an inactive member who gave my companion an outdated psychology textbook... Never seen him so hyped haha

- A bird flew into our windshield (I didn't hit it, it hit me ok?)

- We saw a living frog!  It was just chillin on our porch one night when we got home

- A member gave us cold hostess cupcakes... They're way better asi

- I ate a LOT of taco bell hot sauce (even after nearly a year of real Mexican food it's the best)

- We finally got to meet with Hermana Madrigal again after months and it was so much fun

- I played piano in primary for the third week in a row... They told me they're about to give me an official calling 

- We had 16 lessons fall through 

We saw a ton of opposition this week, record low numbers, and lots of rejection. It's kinda weird though, because I feel like it's been a super happy week. I've been trying to change my mindset and be more Christ focused and I think it's working... But yeah, let me know how your week was, love y'all!

Spiritual Thought

I've been studying the talk "Humble to Accept and Follow" by Joni L. Koch lately and there's a cool quote from it that I wanted to share with y'all. He says, "when we choose not to be humble, we end up being humiliated." It sounds kinda harsh, but it's true. God's going to humble you no matter what, so you might as well not fight him on it :) Humility is super important, and something I've been working on super hard for the last while. It's a tough Christlike attribute to develop, but I invite you all to think about ways you can be more humble, cause no one likes being humiliated right?

¡Nos vemos!
