Semana 29: Simp


Mandilon is simp in Spanish

Mi Líder de distrito

We were at lunch with our zone leaders and discovered that we were both teaching the same exact person... and the funniest part was that she scheduled an appointment to meet with us on the same day at the same exact time. I kinda wish we didn't find out about that so we could have showed up at her house at the same exact time and had a double Spiderman meme moment.

Dudes being dudes

The buses here are going to give me spine problems.

Just in case

I'm telling you our house can pass off as the insect section at the zoo. Mosquitos have completely invested our house. My comp and I have bites literally everywhere... even in places where I didn't think they could reach. Drastic times lead to drastic measures, my comp has been scratching his back against the corner of a wall like a bear. #zika

Zona Martinez

When I thought reading a chapter of the Book of Mormon aloud in Spanish was a headache, I practically had an aneurysm reading it in Mayan. My new strategy to learn Spanish as fast as possible is to attempt to teach myself Mayan so learning Spanish doesn't seem as difficult. u' la'k udziíbbil t'am Jesuchristo.

Bomb Carne Asada

I have finally reached my last straw with the 50 degree morning showers so I have made a complete and full transition to 5 gallon bucket showers. What you do is quite simple... you take a 5 gallon bucket, fill it up with water and then heat it. Next, you take a smaller cup, dip it in and boom you got warm water to shower yourself with. I am never going back to cold showers ever again! 

My stomach has been sitting at the verge of literal death for the past couple days so any prayers would be greatly appreciated.

District 4

As for the work, nothing too crazy has happened this week. We had a really awesome lesson with these two amazing people.  We had plans to put them on date for baptism during our next lesson and they both ghosted us. So hopefully phase 1 will drop soon so we can walk directly to their house :)

That's all for this week! Love you!

Semana One: Welcome Everybody! (August 26, 2020)

Hola amigos y familia!!! WOW!!  This week has been so incredible and incredibly long haha! But I have loved every second of it. Last Wednesday I started the at home MTC experience and I mean it when I say it, it has completely changed my life. It's so crazy how in such a short amount of time my attitude towards EVERYTHING has changed tremendously. Not gonna lie, I was a little bitter and upset about doing the at home MTC initially, but it is seriously so much fun!  My district is so money and we have the best teachers! Hermana Mejia and Hermano Gallegos. My district is straight "GOAT"ed and I love every single one of them! We have learned so much together as a district and our español is definitely improving. After just one week at the MTC I've been able to say my prayers in Spanish, bear my testimony, and memorize some scriptures! I guess you can say it's coming along well! It has definitely been hard adjusting to the new missionary life and saying goodbye to the

Semana 81: Make Love, Not War

Image
The title comes from a Mexican missionary shouting, "Make Love!! Not War!!" in a district council. Just about all of our district speaks English so when he made that error, we all dropped to the floor laughing. I guess that's one way to solve the crisis happening in Ukraine right now.  Hermana Sedgwick I went on exchanges with the stud Elder Robertson!! He was the Canadian missionary in my MTC district and one of our best zone leaders. It was so fun! Familia Mota We were at our recent converts house. He was feeling pretty sick so we walked him over to his bed. We were talking to his daughters and his wife when all of a sudden we heard this loud bang on the floor. We looked over and it was our convert that had fallen off the bed. He had a seizure which caused him to fall off the bed and smacked his face so hard on the cement floor that he was unconscious. We all freaked out and lifted him up onto the bed. He was snoring and breathing really heavily but he would not wake up

Semana 18: ITS CHRISTMAS TIME BABYYYYY

Image
Hellooooo everybody! I hope y'all are staying safe out there and partying hard. Christmas season is the BEST out here on the mish because so many more hearts are open and receptive to the message of the restored gospel. We have seen so many miracles here in Norwich and in the Syracuse Mission. Boy this week was a longgggg one and a great one. I am so beyond blessed to be here during these exciting times!  Before the Nor'easter And After.....this AZ boy is like, whoa!!! So it turns out one of our friends, Barbara, lives outside of our area. We had to refer her off which was such a sad day because she was so sweet and loving. We gave her a call and broke the sad news to her and she was very understanding. But before we hung up, she started serenading us to some Christian hymn and it was really sweet. A little off tune, but hey I don't blame her because I can't carry a tune myself. We had to mute the phone for some of it because we were laughing so hard that this 80 year o
