Week 5

Man the weeks go by and not to much happens so idk know what to say. I've been playing a ton of volleyball and I think I'm getting pretty good. People always ask if I played in school so I guess that's a good sign. Spanish classes have been super fun. I'm learning a ton of Spanish even. I'm no where near fluent and I know once I get get in the DR where they don't even really speak Spanish anyway I'll be lost but I know that the gift of tongues is real and so it will be okay. I got to sing in the choir and there were 706 missionaries in it. It was so beautiful and I felt the spirit super strong. Choir is definitely one of the highlights for the mtc. One spiritual thought I had came on Sunday. On Sundays we have what's called a "go and do" experience where all 1600 missions go and study the same topic. We all start out in the gym before we go off to wherever we want to study.  Sister Porter invited us all to start with a prayer. At this moment I had the strongest feeling that even though 1600 missionaries would be asking God to answer the same question he hears every single one of his children's prayers. He knows me and he knows you. He loves all of his children and he wants them all to return to him. Anyways I hope you all have an amazing week! Chow!

  I'm not a huge fan of writing emails but apparently people want me to write more. Therefore I am going to default to bulletpoints This was a super awesome awesome week and it had a lot of miracles - I'm starting to really love Oregon. The weather is beautiful and the branch is amazing. I've never seen a more unified branch and I'm honored to be a part of it.  - We got to talk to a very drunk guy who had a really big Bible in Guatemala so that was sweet. We also talked to a guy smoking a cigar that says we should wear baby clothes to protect us so maybe I'll take that into consideration.  - We got to go to the Portland temple with two new converts and this was a super cool experience. Everyone in the branch that could go went and drove the hour to support their fellow members. It was super special.  - We had a mission tour and Elder Nash who is the president over all the missionary work in the world came and spoke to us. He taught us about the importance of the mem...

Week 31/32

Hola! Cómo están? I hope all is well, and I am sorry for not sending an email last week, I started it but then forgot to finish and send it. Anyways, here's my last 2 weeks On Sunday, I found out that I was going to get transferred to Las Matas, which is a very small town about 40 minutes from the Haitian border.   I spent most of Monday packing, but we had a service project with Tony, which was a lot of fun. We helped him paint a house, and that all went pretty well.   On Tuesday we spent most of the day saying goodbye to all the members. That was really sad because I had been there for 5 months and they became super good friends. That is one of the hard parts about the mission. You get used to changing really fast.   Wednesday was transfers, so we woke up at 6 and left at 8 for the capital. The guagua driver was not very pleased with how heavy our suitcases were. Once we got to the capital some people helped us off the guagua and told us they could help us get to the ch...
