Crazy good lesson w Paty y Diana 

Martes 

Intercambios!! W Elder Richards, Elder Hannemann's son. Good dude.

2 services, lunch, and really good resto lesson w Maria. Sadly she told us she has to go to Pheonix for a bit tho. Her brother has cangrena, translates to crabs, I think it is gout. He's getting both his legs amputated. So she will be gone for a little but hopefully we can stay in contact with her while she's gone. Still super solid. 

Miércoles 

Full day! Started w a car training and watching The Chosen as a mission. Super fun actually, really good.

Covid shot!!! Super quick. Felt good! Elder Neilson started shivering that night. Hes so funny lol he straight up didnt think it was from the shot. He thought he wouldve had side effects immediately after. And he also thinks hes invisible now, like he completely flipped on the vaccine. He thinks we shouldnt have to wear masks or do anything like that and that everyone should get vaccinated now haha. Even tho the vaccine killed him 

Good lessons in the evening! Hno Robles, former Stake Pres in Jaurez, is a machine. Invited these ppl to church and gave them a BoM and said he will go back Saturday to check on them lol 

Jueves 

Woke up w a headache but not bad. Elder Neilson was dead. We woke up and I was still worked out a little, just in the apt. We were supposed to have exchanges w the ZLs but one of them got the vaccine and was hammered too. Lol the other one tho is too afraid of needles, he passed out at the clinic and he didn't even get it. But back to Elder Neilson, he said he was dead and I said ok well we have 3 important lessons this afternoon, I dont care if you sleep for a little. He got out of bed at 2!!! Wow haha. I love the kid but there are a few little things that are like huh what haha 

Super busy afternoon!! 

Lesson w Maria, Alicia, and Alex. All really good. Gave Maria a blessing!! Hna Gutierrez was sooo nice to come. 

Alicia watched all 4 sessions of Conference!! 

And then Alex was super solid, ready for bap. 

Viernes

District Council! 

Intercambios w the ZLs! It was a really good day, I learned a tonnn I feel like!!! Super nice guy. Elder Hauver. From Moapa lol

Sábado 

Food bank in the am. Good studies and a lot of lessons fell in the evening actually but it happens. Saddest was Luis and Carmen, they called and really truly do want to meet but are so busy 

Domingo 

Gave my first talk in spanish!!! I felt like I had a good talk prepared but I don't really know if I got the whole theme/story/complete idea across. I might ve just rambled. I just had a few notes and tried to just talk instead of read. Maybe a mistake but oh well. I didnt feel too nervous but no one really said anything about it after one way or another haha. I felt pretty good about it tho so oh well either way. 

So fun to say hi to you all!! I do miss the Jacksons house a lot tho dang haha. That will be a really fun day to be back there with you all. 

Good lessons tonight! Visited Eddie a recent convert. Then we found a new lady outside of her house, just started talking to her, gave her a LdM and said we could come back on Tuesday. And knocked on this dudes door who we haven't been able to get into contact with and he was home so that was cool too!

Transfer news was kinda nuts. I wasn't expecting anything at all to change. But we are getting another elder so we'll be in a trio. Kinda sucks bc it'll be harder to teach but trying to be positive! Also i heard hes a tough elder. He is pretty new i think, heard he is pretty immature and actually like got in trouble for hitting on hermanas. Idk, I haven't even met him so I'm not going to judge him at all. I hope it will be good. Just have to trust in the Lord!! Also just super happy to be staying here in the ward. But we are also getting a third companionship again and I'm most scared they are going to try and take my people. The people that legit I have found every single one since I've been here and I love with all my heart and have been progressing so much. Ahhh it scares me but I'll fight to keep my peoples. Its good tho. Just a lot of changes and I wasn't expecting any at all tbh. But I should've known, it was getting too comfortable!! And there are still so many blessings. It will be great. 

Anyways love you much!!! Can't wait to talk and tell you about everything myself!! Haircuts tomorrow and I'm really excited haha and going to try a new place to eat so let's goooo haha

 Love you guys so much!!!!
