Mason's Mission: Un misionero con un mango

Day: 27584

Pushup Count: 295

First things first, have y'all seen the inside of a mango?!? That thing is crazy Anyways it was a good week, I'm feeling better and this transfer is kinda flying by. Here's what went down:

- Went to the driving range sick, still hit a couple balls but I'm super bad at it

- Our recent convert pulled out a verse in the Bible about how women should stay silent in the church... That was fun to navigate

- We had interviews with President, probably my quickest one yet

- After one of our lessons we had a lady call out to us and ask us to help her move the next day. We showed up the next morning and the other Elders were there too we carried a bunch of stuff from the second floor to the first floor of her apartment complex

- I had an exchange with the legendary Elder Durkin where we found two people and I tried kit kat cereal (don't recommend)

- My comp started a fire when I was on exchanges... We're all good tho

- We had service in Lancaster and I got another Gatorade water. Literally just normal water but I'm convinced it's thicker

- We helped a recent convert set up a church/family search account and it took an HOUR. It's a good thing I love him cause that was a grind

- I went on exchanges with Elder Bachous. Since he's a greenie and I left my tiwi card in Bakersfield, we were on foot. I felt like we were as productive as we could've been but I was grateful to have the car back the next day

- We taught one of our eternigators (someone who's been taught for years but won't get baptized) and she literally taught US the whole restoration before we started. But she came to church so we made some progress

- We were out knocking doors and some dude came outside as we walked up. He started talking at us about who knows what. (At one point he quoted like half a chapter in Matthew, actually pretty impressive.) I've had this happen quite a few times on my mission and I'm always fighting to leave so this time I just decided to stay quiet until he tired himself out. Bad idea. My comp and I both went thirty minutes (lowkey kinda zone out ) without saying a word until finally he took a breath and I said goodbye.

- We saw some cats in a mop bucket

- Hermana Montalban made us shrimp pasta and we promised her the gift of tongues... It was awesome

So yeah. It was a good week. Let me know how y'all are doing!

Spiritual Thought

My scripture of the week is Mark 9:23-24. I'm too lazy to copy and paste it so just go read the story (it's in the photos too). It's really cool. The point is that we don't have to have perfect faith, we just have to believe in Christ and he'll make up the difference. If we have faith in Him, He'll perform miracles in our lives.

Los amo tantísimo :)
