Semana 56: The Pit of my Soul

This week was pretty mediocre to be honest. We were assigned to do a 10 minute facebook video where we had to talk about our plan here on earth. I wanted to do it in one shot and get it over with. My comp had a completely different idea. He wanted to film the coolest mission video anyone has ever seen. The only issue is that my companion is a crazy perfectionist and gets way too distracted. It took just about the entire week. I don't feel like we did anything in regards to missionary work besides this stupid video. We ended up finishing Saturday night. The sister missionaries didn't even post it. I am never doing a video like that again.

During P-day, we went paint balling again and it left me with some pretty good bruises. One of the sister missionaries sprayed pepper spray on the floor and all of us started dying.

I've never seen someone find a more complicated and time wasting way to kill a bug than my companion.

We had Mission Leadership Council this week and it was way inspiring. President Perkins said "The Spirit won't let me go until I finish this" I don't know why but this really spoke to me. We learned about the importance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how we can help our zones develop a better knowledge of it. We started a study plan within our zone and I feel like we are learning some good stuff. I also got to see some missionary friends from up north during MLC which was so sick.

BYU beat Utah lets gooooooo!!!

We taught some pretty good lessons with some new people we found but nothing new or out of the ordinary. I feel like the days are starting to merge together, heck I can't even remember what I ate yesterday.

Have a fantastic week!

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
