Mason's Mission: Un misionero en Bakes... de nuevo

Day: day 5 in Bakes

Pushup Count: 283

Buenos días a todos This was a crazy week and I'm definitely feeling it. Getting transfered just makes you feel like sleeping all day haha. Basically my time in Palmdale was very short and I'm back in Bakersfield I'm now serving in a YSA ward with some office responsabilities, a very different experience from what I'm used to but I'm excited. Esto es lo que pasó:

- We played blitzball last pday and I got really good at throwing a nasty curveball (and I only hit Elder Kerner a couple of times...)

- I said goodbye to Alfredo, one of my favorite converts ever

- Elder Archibald bought me a marzipan tres leches and we ate the entire thing in less than 24 hours

- I went on a mini exchange with Elder Kerner and all of our lessons fell through, but we got wing stop and Hermana Montalban gave us some carne de res

- When we showed up at Hermana Montalban's house she offered to make us some food so we sat down and waited for a second. Then she said she'd bring us a little snack while we waited. The little snack turned out to be a full meal we had to stop her before she started cooking more... I love her so much

- I moved into my new house with my new companions Elder Purcell and Elder Paxman. They're both great missionaries it's gonna be cool to be with them

- My first night we went to Institute and the topic was choosing an eternal partner... That was fun

- We did a TON of work on the csub campus, including a lesson in the cafe with two freshmen girls... Super weird

- Since the ysa covers all of Bakersfield we worked a lot in my old area, and we saw the Gonzalez family, the first people to feed me strawberry tamales

- Went to the office staff meeting and all the senior missionaries started roasting each other

- We had another leadership meeting in Tehachapi and this time we were chosen to give a portion. We talked about King Benjamin and it went pretty well

- General Conference of course. We set up chairs in front of the giant TV the church and I only fell asleep once

- Luis bought us Salty's barbecue and it was super good. Apparently it was on Drive-Ins Diners and Dives at one point so verify that for me pls

- Our friend Shie set a date to be baptized so please pray that everything goes well for her

So yeah, good week but I am exhausted Let me know how y'all are doing or if you have any questions!

Spiritual Thought

There were a million good talks last weekend but I liked the one about the salt collectors. Go check it out once it's are released. Until then, stay salty.

Mucho amor,
