Fatty McFatties

 Top of the morning to you,

Fatty McFatties is known to the common people as Burger King. 

Transfer news: Elder Crow and I are staying and we are going to trio train! A few other missionaries I know are also training! I am so proud of them for how far they come and how much they have grown! 

This week:

- We found a very sketchy elevator that has a light switch. When you turn off the light switch its black black. Probably what hell looks like.  

- I put Jesus pictures on the wall  

- We ate baked beans at service... poor elder Crow.  

- Service was done at Cornerstone again but it was Thanksgiving so that was fun.  

- E.Crow is not good at parking  

- DC was spiritual too, the zone leaders basically taught every principle in PMG jaja

- Basketball this morning  

This week we smashed our finding goal despite the cold. We found 19/13 people. Sadly we only had one friend at church but we are working on it. ABEL GOT PERMISSION! He will probably be baptized this Saturday so that is really exciting. 

Doing service this week hit different because it helped me recognize how lucky I am for my childhood and the life I'm living right now. So don't take anything for granted :))

"If you dont have something nice to say dont say it at all." =>> thanks mom y dad for teaching me that even though I sometimes forget it.

Love y'all

3500 Calories in Cutting Season

 ¡Feliz dia!

E.Crow started tracking calories this week and he is trying to cut. He ate 3500 calories in a day. That is not good cutting numbers jaja.

This week:

- We took fotos outside the temple because we had a member lesson nearby.  

- I puked up salsa while eating a galleta.  

- At service on Wednesday there were about 25 more volunteers than normal. 

- Cleaning dishes the commercial way is NOT the move. 

- E.Crow and I gave the training at District Council about training with the Spirit.  

- The hermanas taught the English class the word "bussin".  

- Branch dinner for Thanksgiving. 

- A baptism that was over an hour long.  

- I gave a talk about the treasure that is Jesus Christ.  

- Zone friendsgiving, volleyball and signs.  

This week was miracle filled. Don't get me wrong every day holds miracles but this week we were able to recognize a lot more. We moved our schedule around doubled our new people found. Abel is still waiting for permission. Christopher we had to drop because his new job is taking all his time. 

In the middle of our Branch party we received a call from a member in New York who referred us a friend that lives here in Hartford. If you dont know, that thing happens very very rarely but it does happen. And Alejandro, the referral, has been prepared by the Lord and I am excited to see the change the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bring.

Monster Mash Stuffed Puffs Filled Marshmallows

 Hola a todos 

E.Crow and I played chubby bunny with the Monster Mash Stuffed Puffs Filled Marshmallows because they were two dollars at Walmart. We tied. 

Esta semana:

- Service @ Gather55 was fun, I saw a drug addict fall asleep on his, very syrupy, blueberry pancakes.  

- @ our second service of the week, I had the extreme displeasure of trying canned asparagus. It was... rancid. 

- District Council training was on working with members!  

- Weekly planning hit different this week because we are switching up Finding time.  

- Short unplanned service project this morning.  

- E.Crow almost tboned some lady in a parking lot. Wayyyyyyy too close.  

I want Spike back.   

We are still waiting for Abel to get approved. Christopher, our only friend with a baptismal date, just started a new job so we haven't met in a while.  Hopefully we can meet again soon. Other than those two friends we have nobody that is progressing. We have a ward temple trip the 2nd of December so that will be a huge focus with the recent converts. A mission-wide focus is on the youth so we are trying to work with the few youth we have! 

“We are not saved in our sins, as by being unconditionally saved through confessing Christ and then, inevitably, committing sins in our remaining lives. We are saved from our sins by a weekly renewal of our repentance and cleansing through the grace of God and His blessed plan of salvation."

Love y'all
