Christmas Time!!!

Christmas time!!! It was really good here. It so so so cold during Christmas here and the rest of the week was pretty good. 

For Christmas and Christmas eve we had a district activity each night from 6 to 9 at night. We watched a movie one night then played sports the other night. This Christmas was pretty chill and we didn't do a whole lot or really celebrate hard. A member made us an awesome Peruvian meal. Christmas day we delivered some cookies to some members and they loved the gift and were so shocked we were doing things on Christmas but it was just a normal workday. 

 

I am glad Christmas is over and can't wait for new years to end to then things go back to normal and we can go back to teaching regularly and stuff. 

 

This Saturday we played some volleyball with Idolfo which was fun. He played on the Venezuelan national team and is currently preparing to be baptized in January. Today for P-day Elder Rosas and I went mountain biking at a park right by the beach in Miami. It was really fun! 

 

Life is good right now and I am just still here and working hard. Have a great new year and make it the best year ever!

Merry Christmas!

Wow! What a week!  It has been so busy and exhausting but super rewarding.  

We got some new missionaries and are ready for Christmas and we got some more amazing food. 

 

Elder Rosas and I have been grinding and it's great. I love it. We both have about 18 months and the mission and just are what I would say in our prime I guess. It was a super busy week with lots of lessons as we are trying to teach everyone and ask referrals from everyone. 

 

We got two brand new missionaries in the house and they are super cool. It's going to be a great transfer. We played volleyball Saturday and today in the morning with 4 other elders and it was so good. 

 

We have a very athletic and group that plays good volleyball so it will be super fun. 

 

We have been out in parks more talking to more people and so that is fun. We meet a cool lady and her mom at a park while they watched a little kid play on the playground. 

 

We also delivered some boxes of food with a member of the stake to a college in Miami and I got to see Marlins stadium. 

 

I'm excited for Christmas and this time of year. It's kinda weird because we don’t really celebrate holidays to much as missionaries, we just keep on working so I don't really feel like it's Christmas, it’s just kinda normal to me. 

 

Lots of love and Merry Christmas to you all.

Another Week In Paradise

Hi everyone!  

This week was a little longer because it is transfers and well... I'm staying thankfully here in Fontainebleau!!! Elder Rosas and I will keep on grinding and I am excited. The house will also get 2 brand new missionaries. I hope they are cool, but I'm sure they will be. 

 

We have been kinda sick this week. 2 Elders went and got a Covid test but thankfully they were negative. If there were positive we would have had to be stuck inside, which would have been terrible. I was pretty sick Thursday and Friday but I am good now. 

 

Friday we had a Christmas Zone Conference and talent show. It was soooo fun. My house did a Zoom call Parody and it was so funny. People loved it. We actually recorded it from a Zoom call we made as a house on last P-day and all the missionaries watched it on a tv. That was a super fun time to be around others and have a little bit of fun. 

 

I went back to YSA and to the University for another exchange. It was a great week and I am doing really good. 

 

We played volleyball with someone we were teaching, but he moved to another area, but he still lives close and he played on the Venezuelan National Team and so that was fun. We also went to Buffalo Wild Wings and had a funeral for an Elder who is going home. And we went to IHOP with my Hermano Francisco who we baptized 2 months ago. 

 

Love y’all!

Back To School!!!

Hello everyone, what's new!! 

I feel like I don't have a whole lot to share but I will share a few things. 

 

It is December. The weather here is just amazing, but sometimes in the mornings it is a little cold for me. I am glad I go home in the summer and not the winter. 

Things are pretty normal with missionary work. We have transfers in a week and it is crazy how fast this transfer has gone by. 

 

I went on exchanges with Elder Skiba this week and he is a YSA Elder so I went to the campus her which is Florida international university. It was super cool but there was not like any people. The YSA missionaries have Instagram so I got to use Instagram and I just tried to slide in those DMs and see of any girls wanted to do a bible study with me. I also went on exchanges with the Zone leader and that was super fun.

  

I had interviews with President Pingree and it was so good. To start the interview, he called Elder Porter Albertson who just went home for knee surgery and I got to say hi a day before he had surgery.  

We played some volleyball and life is good. 

I'm sooooo excited for Christmas!!

I love y’all and take care,

Elder Isom
