We can grab coffee 😉

 Hola fellow children


I got asked out twice, by the same man, to go get a coffee. Double no 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️ Sorry Justin, better luck next time. 

This week
- We saw a truck run over a tree and street sign 🌳 
- It was the birthday of Hna.Peterson, so that was lit. Free cake 🎂 
- We got blocked several times by our friends 🚫 
- We made sugar bread things at service 😋 
- Photo shoot because we look too cool for our own good 😎 
- We sang the alphabet song at English Class 🎶 
- District Council was pretty fun, we got muffins 
- I showed E.Bingham how to change a tire 🚗 
- Zone pday was a riot, you know the vibes. Spikeball and volleyball AND Cosco pizza 🍕 

We had a friend, Darwin, come to church! Bonus: he said he enjoyed it. Kennet also received the Aaronic Priesthood. We will keep working for the temple. We did not have a ton of success with finding this week but it's OK because we are growing. A lot. We made some new goals and plans, basically we hyped for this week. 

Love. It is an important thing, love is. 

Love God.

Love everyone else too. 

I love you all. 😘

Not for sale at any price

 Hola,

Our integrity should not be for sale at any price. It's a great BYU discourse. 

This week:
- We ran in the rain 🌧 
- The sisters got us frosties 🥹
- My daddy (trainer) gave his departing testimony 🥲
- At service on Wednesday we made PB&Js for two hours ☠️
- I went on exchanges with the other trainee in our District and he is a bundle of comedy 🤡 
- We got donuts at district council and the training was on integrity 👌 
- Saturday service we got lime cookies that were actually good 🍪 
- Church was lit 🔥 
- We did a scavenger hunt at Target 🎯

We are running really really thin on friends that are progressing. So this week we have a LOT of finding time. Kennet, our recent convert, is doing really well. He is preparing for the temple next week! One friend named, Cristian, is super elect. We found him at Walmart and he has kept all his commitments AND been to church. 

So basically this week was hard and amazing. I had really good studies and really good naps. Both of those are separate of course. 😐 I looked pretty deeply at my patriarchal blessing and its really interesting to see how different things stand out even though I've read it all before. 

Love y'all

Expulsados fuimos

 Hola

So we got kicked out of three parking lots this week! So we must be doing something right, I hope.

This week:
- Interview with Pres was really beneficial, I think the most so far.
- We had an eventful English class, singing Head shoulders knees and toes. If you know, you know.
- District Council was exciting, training given by the Zone Leaders on how to use all our finding methods. 
- The remainder of that day was spent in bed with a stomach attack. 😁
- We had FHE, we watched Meet the Mormons in Spanish... that was a first. 
- My son gave his first talk and he did so good!
- Spikeball and pizza at a park for District Pday. 😋 

This last week was pretty brutal for me. By brutal I mean humbling, I don't think I found a single person all week, of course I was putting in the effort but just with less success. When those times come, its a nice reminder that we can not control the agency of other people. Kennet is doing really well! He is getting ready to receive the Priesthood. We found a few friends... who seem interested. 

Love y'all
Elder Stockett
