Un misionero mareado

Day: a cold one 

Pushup Count: 277

Que tal? Como estamos? This was a wild week in Bakersfield and I didn't journal once, so we'll see how it goes...  Highlights:

- Last pday we played card games and I ran routes with Elder Anderson

- We went to ward FHE for a sec

- Elder Purcell started feeling sick on Tuesday so he stayed at the office with the social media elders while Elder Paxman and I went out and baptized nations (aka taught like 2 lessons)

- We taught our friend Ricky and he said he wants to get baptized  He's a gym bro that we meet with at the park and it's a lot of fun 

- On Wednesday we went and picked up the greenies! It was super fun. We grabbed them from the airport and then ate some amazing enchiladas at President's house. After dinner I got to take two of them out for their first night of tracting. It was awesome, they were fearless. One of them even tried talking to an Indian guy in Spanish 

- Unfortunately Wednesday night I caught Elder Purcell's sickness and it all went downhill from there...

- I almost gave some hermanas the wrong car but my companion saved me 

- We "went" to lunch with all the missionaries going home... We sat on the other side of Cafe Rio but it was still good

- That night we picked all those Elders up and they stayed the night at our house. By that point I was feeling pretty bad so I had Elder Wilson and Elder Paxman give me a blessing, took a nyquill, and passed out 

- President made the departing missionaries grits. Super overhyped 

- We took a sick day the next day after running around enfermos for too long

- I started learning French in Spanish on Duolingo. It's super weird to have three languages running through my head when I do that 

- We taught another awesome lesson to Shie and she came to church! When someone asked her if she was visiting she said she was actually working on becoming a member 

- We had an amazing dinner with one of the senior couples assigned to the YSA. They're super cool and they made homemade bread that was soooo good I might have eaten 3 slices... 

- Guys. There was frost on the grass this morning. I haven't seen that it over 7 months... It feels good 

I'm finally feeling better, just a little cough now :) Being sick really makes me appreciate being healthy so there is a little bright side. Let me know how y'all's week was!

Spiritual Thought 

Go apply Elder Kearon's talk from this last weekend! I had a great time at sacrament meeting yesterday after listening to that. So umm do it :)

Mucho amor,
