July 29, 2024 - 49th Email - I hopped a fence

Hey

This week was kinda crazy

La última semana estuvo loca

A lot of stuff happened including me hopping a fence and it looked pretty sketch probably since I wear this black hoodie all the time (everybody thinks I'm crazy for wearing it when it's literally 100 degrees out but I don't really see it personally)

Context: our apartment complex is gated and you need a clicker to get in. I had a meeting with the zone leaders and the other district leader on Monday and elder mullins and bryan went to da store and then went home. I ended up getting a ride home from the other district leader and his companion because the zone leaders even tho we live wit em they werent gonna actually go home for another 40 minutes. But elder andersen dont got no clicker to our apartment complex (because bro dont live there) so I just ended up having to hop the fence lol it was a pretty intricate process because obviously the top isnt flat it has those metal stick thingies and then it was really tall so I had to get on some outlet thing first and step on something I dont really know what it was to get back down

Anyway then tuesday came along

Elder bryan was pretty sick and i woke up to him puking in the bathroom and so we kinda just took it chill that morning

But then when we were planning on just weekly planning we had a guy who we havent been able to sit down with for a month call us saying he was free for a lesson so we had to drag elder bryan along even tho he was literally dying it was ok i think getting out was actually good for him because he said he felt better but that lesson was long and we just basically bashed about how he needed to get baptized and apparently that conversation has happened like twice before lol so we'll see how he goes

And then we end up at the mission office because reasons i forget

Oh wait elder bryan had to get his phone fixed by the tech elders

So basically elder mullins had an ingrown toenail and one of the senior missionaries saw it and told him to go to the urgent care and so he was like "ok i dont want to but sure" so he went with the mission nurse guy and elder bryan and i were on our own and remember elder bryan was dying but he was actually pushing through it really well until we got to english class and bro passed out just out the door from where we have the class

Luckily the hermanas we ward share with pulled up so i didnt have to teach the whole english class class by myself but it was kind of comical when they asked me where my companions were and realized we were kind of falling apart that day

Uhhhhh

We got some AWESOME people found btw our numbers were insane we found like 14 and had 18 member presents and 12 people to church easily best week ever for how crazy it was the Lord blesses hard work fr

This one guy Eduar is a DAWG

This other guy we got too is also a dawg but we're trying to get him to church and he's probably on drugs so we think he doesnt want to go to church when he's high so we gotta get im off dat

Did an exchange on saturday in english land for my district and it was super cool because hes a greenie fresh outta da mtc and it was super cool seeing how well he led his area even tho we didnt get any lessons because nobody answered the doore

We also ate some BOMB taco bell that day it was great this is now a taco bell ad

We have a friend that lives up in the mountains too so its cool we'll be able to go up there again

Sunday was CRAZY with all the friends we got there it was really awesome to see our work pay off and see people come to church that weve been teaching for a while but havent gone yet so committing them over and over again can work sometimes

Finished the day off hanging out with a cool family for dinner too, their last name is Paz and they were super fun to talk to and it was really good to practice my spanish theyre just a funny family and we were just dying laughing the whole time so having fun and cracking jokes in spanish was a w

It's super cool tho being able to to learn the language even tho im still in the united states i thought itd be hard but honestly yeah it probably is taking more time than if i was totally immersed in a spanish speaking place but its coming along for sure

Good week overall. Did a lot, worked really hard, and that's what the Lord asks of us.

Less than a year to go as of this week! Crazy how fast time flows by. I hit a year in 15 days

Love you guys have a good one
