I Need Sugar and I'm Pregnant Again...

Image
 October 31, 2022 Weeks been wild with a lot of odd surprises. On Tuesday we got one of our investigators to drop smoking but in turn we can't have sugar until Tuesday. I. AM. DYING!!! Never realized how much food has sugar in it so we had to modify to no sweets. Either way, I lost a couple pounds this week but our investigator is going strong. So proud of him. Branch president called yesterday to tell us he put another person on date for baptism so that's insane, that means 3 for this transfer alone! Lastly, I'm Pregnant Again! I will be training 2 companions at the same time this transfer. I'm excited to meet the new kid and stuff but definitely nervous to be leading in both Spanish, teaching, and planning again. Also our apartment is a little small so we are going to be cramped. On a sadder note, this week we've had quite a few deaths which have been devastating for members and investigators. I am so happy to know that families can be eternal through temple marri...

Ran a marathon, became a ninja, climbed a mountain, and converted Jesus

 October 24, 2022 Been an absolutely wild 2 weeks, so much has happened but I'll just throw in the highlights MARATHON I got to run in a marathon, it was so much fun. I ended up getting 4th place... Sadly it was only the last 200 meters of the race haha. All the missionaries in Central Point and Medford Zones (about 40-50 of us) got to serve the runners and direct them through this Boston qualifier. So much fun, we got a ton of free food, got to show off my running skills, and we had a breath holding tournament in a giant ice bucket. Guess who won, I'll give you a minute to think... me obviously, who else is that cool. Fruit Ninja and Pear Trees I got to do what every young boy loves and swing around a big stick. With said stick I got to do the only thing better which is hit trees and rotting pears with it. Felt like a ninja, got to reconnect with some of the Elders, and got to chuck rotten pears at people. Very fun. Be a missionary. Jesus is getting Baptized? Met this awesome ...

October 10, 2022 Dang I'm failing in the pictures department but not a whole lot has happened the past 2 weeks. I'm just rocking and rolling around. We had zone conference but we just got a big talk about staying clean and orderly so today we scrubbed the apartment down. We've been teaching quite a few people but sadly most of them canceled on us, so I've done a lot of study this week. I've finally made it to the story of Aaron and King Lamoni which is my favorite story in the Book of Mormon, it's just about how we can help others come unto Christ through our example. So I'm working on my patience as I learn how to do this mission thing and grind out Spanish. All in the Lord's time, but that doesn't mean I can't work for it. We've started a weekly volleyball event and so far we've drawn in 2 non members so that's progress haha. But I'm getting better at the game, turns out I can jump and my ability to return the ball with "mi...
