Serve Someone Hola hola hola!! Mission time is very weird, I've been inside, without being able to leave for anything other than groceries every two weeks, for the past 43 days, and I can't decide if it has flown by or if it's felt like 443 days. I think both. I found myself every day this week really just counting down days until Preparation Day,  and now that it's here, I felt like the week FLEW by!  I also did the math, 20 percent of my mission I have been inside this apartment without being able to leave, that's pretty cool that I have been able to have such a different opportunity than so many missionaries in the history of ever!!  Everyone, here's something I've really learned during this time, and I've still got a whole long way to go before I'm perfect but here it is. This is freaking hard, for literally every person on the planet, idk if there's been a time quite like this in history where literally every person in the w...

Facebook Live and the Sound of Rain Hola hola!!! Those two things in my subject line are the most eventful parts of my week It was still a great week! Just uneventful,  almost every single one of our appointments fell through, which is disappointing when it is your only plan for the whole day, but it's all good, we found ways to fill our time with other "productive" things! Here's some productive things I did this week: 1. Do the math to figure out that based on 6 generations back on both sides of my family, the average age of death is 75 years  2. Spend too many hours solving and taking too many photos of one Rubix cube and using the default gallery app to combine unto too many collages of 4 to make a HLJ (CTR) logo and a picture of Christ that really looks good if you squint and use some imagination! 3. Made some awesome Shrimp pasta 4. Made myself a mask So yeah, those are some of my proudest achievements  🤙 3 nights a week, we h...

Hola a todos!!(: This was a great week, I decided something this week, I'm kinda sick of the Corona Virus and it being the only thing anyone has on their mind, and so in prayer with my Father in Heaven I just explained to Him, that this virus has caused so much pain and sorrow for so many people, and I was kind of sick of the effects it's been having, so I asked Him if He could just take that burden for a little bit so I could focus a little bit more on the good things happening. And let me tell you,  there is so much good in the world, the world isn't COVID-19, there's more going on, let's focus on that! I'd like to invite you guys to do the same and really this week focus on what's still good, because I promise you there's more good than bad if you just look for it, trust me, taking a break from stressing about COVID-19 Is so nice, and your Savior Jesus Christ, suffered and was resurrected for this purpose exactly, let's not waste His...

6 MESAS!!! Wow! This has been a very very good week!! Honestly was incredible! Thursday was a pretty great day, it marked 6 months from the day I took my first step into this amazing journey, we experienced a miracle with our amiga Elena, and the most exciting news... I taught myself to solve a Rubix Cube!!!!! Now about this miracle with our amiga Elena. As you probably know, I was transferred out of my last area because my companion, along with 49 other missionaries,  was sent home for health risks of the Corona Virus, which result in my being transferred to a different area and leaving Benidorm without missionaries! Well this was sad for many reasons,  and one of them being the fact that we had to cancel our appointment with Elena. The Sunday before,  this woman just walked into Sacrament and said, "I have friends and family in this church and looked into it a few years ago, I'd like to learn more!" So my companion and I here in Barcelona have be...
