Hola hola [Hello hello],
The Broughs [Caden's previous mission president and wife] are out. The Risenmays [Caden's new mission president and wife] are in. President Risenmay has the keys to the MBM [Massachusetts Boston Mission] now. We on Xgames mode. 
Esta semana [This week]:
¤ El morir soñando es sabroso [Sleepy death is tasty... not sure about this translation; perhaps is has a different meaning locally?!?] 
¤ So many departing testimonies, from missionaries and the Broughs. I will miss them. 
¤ We play pickleball cada dia [every day]. 
¤ Recibí [I received] some fire [great] counsel from President Brough... get er done. 
️
️¤ I met someone from Norway on a very hispanic street! 
¤ Several women commented that my mom raised me right after I opened a door for them. Thanks mom! 
¤ I gave blood for the first time since becoming a missionary. 
¤ Service we unloaded a truck shipment, that was enjoyable. 
¤ We moved our pday and were able to do baptisms, confirmations, intiatories and an endowment! I love the temple muchísimo [very much]. 
¤ I got yelled at for being racist this week, for speaking Spanish. 
¤ Spikeball at the beach today. S.Marchbanks and I silenced the competition. 
We don't have a ton going on right now. We are figuring out how to be bold and loving. Humility check 11/22 found this week. We had MLC [Mission Leadership Council... a training meeting for all the missionaries in a leadership position] with President Risenmay. He is going to take the MBM far. 
Love y'all
Elder Stockett
