hey
So this week apparently had a holiday in it
And that day was thanksgiving
So rq i just want to say i love thanksgiving its a great holiday and i love turkey its super good and we had a great time
Plus i am super thankful for my parents love you mom and dad you guys are the best frfr
Although we did have a meeting that morning that we had to go to that was super lame (jk it was actually really good it was just on thanksgiving so that was sad)
And we proceeded to take an hour and ten minute drive from indio to borrego springs because we were having dinner with the branch president's cousins at their place in borrego (which was interesting, they actually dont like the church and presidente garcia was lowkey not sure if theyd let us come over but they were down to feed us) and she had SAID she would be ready at 2:30 but we get to borrego (a little early for once) and we get a text saying "yeh the turkey aint finna be ready until 4 so yall tryna pull up at 3:30?" (paraphrased) so we just say hey we got some time so naturally we do what anyone else would do in that situation and we went and visited some awesome metal statues in the middle of the desert and they were sick and all but we saw them in like 15 minutes so we just said "yeah lets just go over we aint doin anything else" so we get to the garcias cousins' place at 2:50ish and they were playing some football on the tv and giving out appetizers and they say the turkey aint boutta be ready till 4 so i took the opportunity to talk to fam for a second outside on the chairs and then i went back inside and started chatting it up with the family and we ended up sitting there watching football (the cowboys beat the giants and then another game started between the packers and the dolphins) for like 4 hours because the turkey didnt end up finishing until 5:30 and then we were there for about another hour and then we dipped and visited some members to tell them happy thanksgiving and then at 8 pm we had a missionwide zoom meeting so there that was my awesome holiday
Its still un poco loco that this was my second thanksgiving comparing myself to a year ago ive learned and grown a lot in this last year but its really super cool to see how far ive come i mean a year ago i was still in victorville like nah this is wild
Anyway
Back to the other junk i did this week
Monday night we got gas and then elder harris randomly just started asking people if he could wash their car windows with a squeegee so that was super wholesome
Tuesday i exchanged with elder jeetan who is super cool (his last name is indian so how much cooler can you get like)
Wednesday we spent the whole morning in borrego (now that i think about it we went to borrego three times this week) because we did service for a member by moving her furniture around in her house and i think we were able to clean up a lot of stuff it was really good
Also we had to get our oil changed i was kinda putting it off and then i realized it was actually something we had to do soon so we did and i took the fattest nap of all time at that pepboys
And if i had a nickel for every time ive taken an awesome nap at that pepboys in indio in particular id have two nickels which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Thursday i think ive talked about enough
Friday was cool, our friend Karla is progressing super nicely and we even put her on baptismal date for the 14th of december! But then we went back on sunday and she told us she actually is down to get baptized this week on the 8th instead! (Ok the story is a little more complicated than that, the branch president couldnt be there the 14th cuz he got a meeting all the way up in redlands so we kinda had to move the date anyway) but she is super awesome so keep her in yer prayers
Saturday was rough we had like no breaks that day we were in borrego all morning and had lessons in the afternoon (they all canceled lol) also ran into an old friend i met back in october who we had dropped at a completely different friend's house so that was random but she chill
Sunday i totally forgot it was fast sunday i know im a horrible sinner but it was a great sacrament meeting and we got three friends to church! And i took a fat nap again afterwards
Anyway super cool week crazy its already december and 2025 is in one month (holy cow bruh i am old) and we are super excited to see some epic holiday miracles
Alright im outta here love you all hasta luego (oh yeah i realize i havent talked about learning spanish in a while but im lowkey cracked at it now)
