November 20, 2023 - 13th Email - Pablo

Hola you guys!


We had Zone Conference this week! We started this thing called "Holy Habits" where we're taking the next month to develop good habits by following the rules exactly. It's a bit more complicated than that but I feel like that's a good enough explanation. It was a really good Zone Conference. I feel like I've been here a long time now because after the last transfer people were moved to other zones around here and I was able to actually recognize people in the 2 other zones that go to Zone Conference with us lol

Also, Angel, who we baptized last month, has a sister who really wants to get baptized now! It's pretty awesome and she's on date for the 3rd of December.

And one of the elders from up in Barstow, who's only in his second transfer like me, got to hang out with us when the ZL's went on exchanges for two nights. That's a long exchange for y'all who don't know, but he was super cool and we got along well

Wednesday we did service at one of the church buildings down in Hesperia, we just did a food drive. I've always loved doing food drives so it's hardly even work to me

But we had to leave a bit early because I had some training zoom meeting, and we were on a zoom call in the car lol

Also also also

It RAINED on Wednesday, pretty hard actually. It was the first rainstorm since I've gotten here. Apparently it rains a little bit more in the winter and honestly I'm super excited since I've missed rain so much.

And we accidentally had a member show up to one of our lessons. Getting friends fellowshipped with members really works! She was just over doing nails with the girls in the family, just because they were friends and we didn't even know she would be there. She shared her testimony on prayer and it was awesome.

Our friend Sergio is literally awesome. He's been coming to church every week, and we invited him to get baptized, but he said he wanted to actually see a baptism first, which is understandable. I think we can put him on a baptismal date really soon.

On Friday we had an epic ward Thanksgiving dinner, really good activity and we got a few friends to come to it.

I've also been driving a lot this week! I drove all day on Friday and Saturday. My mom's probably gonna freak out by me saying this, but I drove on the freeway (on I-15) for the first time on Saturday and immediately was like "I'm staying in the right lane I don't want to drive too fast" and then I realized the right lane forces you to exit the freeway so I got on the wrong exit on the freeway then immediately just got back on lol

On Saturday one of our Traveling AP's came to visit us. AP stands for Assistant to the President and basically his job is to just go around the whole mission and solve problems and check up on companionships. So we were a trio for the day and he just traveled with us. It was basically a normal day but he helped us a lot and at the end of the day before he left he kinda evaluated us and told us what we do well and how we can improve. It was a cool day. We also accidentally left the zone to go to Wendy's but it was okay because we were with someone who could give us permission to do that anyway

Pablo is just this dog we found that walks around our neighborhood. He's somebody's dog but he just roams and Elder Jensen named him Pablo. He's actually the same kind of dog that bit Elder Gonzalez's leg (an American bully) but he's literally the sweetest fattest dog I've ever seen, he's honestly just big and clumsy and likes to be petted. He's probably been mistreated though so that's really sad but he's literally not scary at all


See you guys next week and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
