What a Week!

This was probably the craziest week of my mission so far and I have no Idea where to start. 

I guess we will start with Zone Conference on Tuesday. We talked basically about technology the entire time because... We all have our own phone now!! It was pretty lit we all kinda expected it when we talked about technology rules for 4 hours haha. But it is super nice having our own phones for personal and language study and all aspects of missionary work. We are super excited for what is to come! 

Now the crazy news. On Tuesday night my comp Elder Fernandez left to Santo Domingo to get his Visa. Well the next day he called me and said ¨Hey I am leaving to Paraguay tomorrow.¨ I was pretty shocked and also confused as to what was gonna happen. Well I went with the zone leaders in their area for 2 days and learned a lot while I waited for my brand new greenie to get here. Thursday evening I received a brand new missionary named Elder Birocher and he is from Haiti. He is actually a pretty cool guy. He is 25 years old and was a convert to the church. Now here is the catch. He is Haitian so he speaks Creole and french and is learning more Spanish. He doesn’t really speak much english if any. So we speak to each other in a language we are both learning and turns out I love it. Like not kidding, I have learned SO much Spanish in such a short period of time. It is like all the random words I don’t know how to say I look up while we are in the house talking to each other then I know how to say it. It’s so lit. 

But now for the work! This week was a slow week cause I only had 1 full day of work in my area. But we worked so hard and have lots of people who want to progress. One is named Luna. She has been talking with the missionaries for a hot sec but she isn’t married. Ready for the why? Because her dad doesn't want to come to the wedding cause he doesn't like her boyfriend. Like bruh. That is literally the only reason she isn't baptized. But Elder Wilde has different plans then her dad, so he talked to the branch President and he said he can put on a wedding at the church for them. So I am gonna propose the idea to Luna tomorrow! What a time! 

Overall life in the mission is fun. Lately I have been reflecting on why am I happy in the mish. I don't have Golf, don't have my GF, don't have my family or friends, don't have taco amigo, and a lot of other things, but I do have Jesus Christ. He will never abandon us. He loves us and will always love us. I invite you all to learn more about Jesus Christ. He is a pretty incredible dude!
