Hope is not a plan

Buenassss [Hellooooooo],


So I was not going to send an email until Monday but someone convinced me otherwise. 

♤ ZC happened with a big focus on goals and plans
♤ I carved a frozen banana
♤ Exchanges with E.Walston
♤ Got free Chinese food from a youth leader, love you Brother Bond
♤ I got to do a baptismal interview with the hermanas [Sister Missionaries'] friend, Mario, he has such a powerful testimony. it was my favorite interview thus far

We put Diogenes Rakel and Ingris on baptismal date for September!! Ingris's date is the 22nd and the date of Rakel y Diogenes is the 8th. We found 10/14 new people.

Love y'all

Moped burnouts

 Holaaa [Hellooo],


While walking by a stoplight the other day we say a moped doing a burnout right in front of a car with its windows down. I have no idea what happened before that but that rubber could not have smelled good. ðŸ”¥ 

Esta semana [This week]:
  • @ service we unloaded another 11 pallets of food ðŸšš 
  • Exchanges w/E.Smith. It rained pretty hard while we were out proselyting. Somebody told us we didn't have authority because President Nelson was abusing us. Yeah in still scratching me head about that one ðŸ¤¡
  • Last DC of the transfer was on patience! S.Ribeiro also made this cake and it was really ðŸ˜‹
  • we went to a beach for pday today ⛱️ 

We had 5 friends at church! 15/19 new people found. E.DLC [Elder De La Cruz, his current companion] is leaving and E.Fairbanks is in. It's going to be a fun transfer!!

Love y'all
