Un misionero pelón

Day: another cold one 

Pushup Count: 343

Buenos días a todos! Another good week in Shafter in the books. I can't think of anything crazy that happened this week, but maybe once I list it out we'll find something...

- We played the best game of spikeball I've ever played 

- I cut off all my hair... And I mean all of it... 

- Hno Pereza told us all about how he wants to be a fighter pilot

- We found out that our recent convert gave away his phone so now we have no way to contact him...

- We had to get an oil change in Bakersfield so we got 5 Guys shakes at 11 am 

- We had zone conference — no I didn't fall asleep, but it was pretty hard to stay focused on this one... And then the mlc afterwards didn't have air conditioning so we almost all died 

- On Friday we had the most interesting lesson with a couple who said they wanted to hear firsthand what we believe and then kinda bashed us for an hour 

- We went to a birthday party for a three year old  they gave us posole and cake and it was awesome

- We got to do a roleplay with my past companion Elder Westerby and my mission half brother Elder Kerner. It was super fun 

- I played piano in sacrament meeting and primary again — Unfortunately the primary lost the music for their favorite song so I had to try and play it from memory... It went okayish  luckily the kids know it so well that they didn't really need me

- We had an awesome member meal last night... I got to play their guitar and bass for a sec and then we ate lasagna made out of ravioli. It was so good I don't know how I've never thought of doing it 

- The high yesterday was only 93  we were in heaven

Yep, nothing wild this time around. Elder Hanson and I are doing great, teaching lots of lessons and talking to lots of people. He's picking up spanish again super fast and I'm convinced he actually understands better than me . The weather has also been gorgeous so that's been super nice. Hopefully we can keep it up :)

Spiritual Thought:

2 Nephi 26:24 —

"He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation." 

I want to focus a little bit on the last part of this scripture. Christ's atonement is available to EVERYONE. Period. He's not exclusive at all. No matter who you are or what you've done, you can partake of salvation. He won't tell you no. The only person who can keep you from Him is you, so don't let yourself do that! Turn to Him and feel His love, because it's there for you whether you like it or not :) 

Muchísimo amor de su misionero favorito,
