Post Holiday Blues, JK, Things Are Great

What a week!!! Oh my goodness... life is good y'all!  

We had Zone Conference. We had some amazing volleyball games and went to IHOP with Francisco again. We grinded and I'm just doing good. 

 

Zone Conference was so good. It was a revelatory experience. I got to see just a couple of missionaries from the past, but honestly there is so many new missionaries here and I hardly don’t know anyone. It’s kinda sad, but that’s happens with time. All the trainings were super good and I enjoyed it. 

 

Saturday, we played volleyball early in the morning.  Then after YSA played with a member so we tagged along also. It was super fun. Saturday we also went to IHOP for breakfast with Francisco, who is just the best! 

 

I felt really good but also bad after Zone Conference. I got some revelations on things I need to change and got motivation to keep on going. 

 

Cool story. We meet with a family that we meet on Facebook from the English classes we have been teaching. They live in Argentina, but they came here to Miami for vacations, so we meet with them.  They were super cool. They gave us some stuff for donations because they knew the church probably had some charity stuff. They also gave us some gifts. Super cool experience. I love getting to know the different cultures and there accents are sooo cool.

 

Anyway, you all have a good week and don’t be missing me too much. I start what's called 6 months to sexy this week so that will be fun, better watch out!

New Year, Same Old Stuff

Happy 2021 to everyone! I had an amazing start to my new year actually. It began at 1 am on Saturday with the fire alarm going off and a trash fire in the apartment which was a great way to spend an hour of my night. But other than that, this year has been going well, and I'm doing great. 

For New Year’s I went on exchanges with Elder Lishman and we got some Italian food from a place here in Miami where they only spoke Spanish so that's cool. We also went to Cheesecake Factory which was my first time there and it was super good and kinda expensive but it was a good way to start the new year. All 6 of us who live here went together, so it was a party. 

 

We have spent a lot of time at parks and talking to people on the street. Also, with Facebook it has been good. Elder Rosas and I made a video about goals which was good so go and check that out. I can say I come home this year so that's crazy. I have 6 months left. At dinner yesterday we were with the Elders of Kendall which is Elder Baginski and Benevides. All 4 of us had been companions with each other at one time or another and we also all have 6 months or less so we are a bunch of old missionaries now. 

 

I am excited for a new year and for all the crazy things that will happen this year. I am so grateful for 2020 and that I could spend the whole time being a representative of Jesus Christ. My mission means everything to me. 

 

I love you all and have a great start of the New Year.
