Mason's Mission: Un misionero en la conferencia

Day: 2

Pushup Count: 223

Buenos dias a todos! Aquí me encuentran otra vez en la chamba. This was a super fast week, so we'll see what I remember. Highlights:

- We kicked off the week decorating Christmas cookies with our district. I had really good ideas, just lacking a bit in execution

- At FHE we learned how to knit stockings so I'm working on that in 5 minute increments cause I just don't have time... Hopefully I get it done before Christmas

- We had just a couple minutes left in the day so Elder Paxman pulled off into a parking lot so we could do some phone work in public. There was literally no one there though so we thought it was pointless, but then a guy drove up, we talked to him, and he said his dad had just passed away. He wasn't interested, but we were able to brighten his day with a pass along card and some kind words. So cool how God puts us where we need to be

- We had zone conferences so Wednesday and Thursday were full of driving, setup, talking, and general running around and going to bed absolutely beat. It was awesome

- I played the piano and sang in the Bakersfield zone conference (separate numbers, I'm not that cool ). Muy divertido

- On Thursday night we got a call from President, asking us to pick up an Elder for an emergency transfer, so we got to drive into the orchards and then we had Elder Bennet with us for a couple of days. Greenie, basically fluent in spanish ya. We had a blast until we dropped him off with my good old friend Elder Hanson

- We had a very long office day Saturday

- We went to Cafe Rio and our ward executive secretary was there... Sooo we got free Cafe Rio

- We saw a full body bag in the Vallarta parking lot. Leave it up to Bakersfield

- We had interviews with el Presidente

- We ate dinner with the Bishop of another ward. He's awesome

- We met a Mexican guy at the mall yesterday who waited for us while we went to the car to get him a Libro de Mormon. He's not from here but hopefully he reads it

- We had dinner with Aldair! He's the coolest. He made us papas and tostadas that we covered in every Mexican topping you need

- This morning I bought a platano, fried it, and then ate it with huevos, frijoles, and crema. I felt so Salvadoreño

Overall, a very good week. It flew by and we did so much. Awesome combo.

Spiritual Thought:

Read 2 Nephi 9. It's my favorite :)
