Week 10

 This week was relatively slow but that's okay cause that's just how it goes sometimes so here's a quick run down of the week. 

Tuesday: I honestly have no idea what we did so this day will be omitted. 
Wednesday: we made a tonnnn of treats and baked goods for members which was a ton of fun. We definitely burnt a lot but it's okay. we decided it was the thought that counted. And who expects 4 Elders to be able to cook? We spent the day delivering them and this was super cool and fun. The members are probably the most important part of missionary work. 
Thursday:I went on exchanges with Elder Pugmire and that was a lot of fun. I found out 2 things. One, that Elder pugmire and me have a ton in common. Number 2, English work is wayyyy different from Spanish work in the states. There are pros and cons to both but right now I'm on the side that spanish has more pros. I might be biased. 
Friday: not too much happened today. Kinda just a normal day of missionary work. 
Saturday: we went on exchanges and I got to lead the area this time and that was a party. We where able to find a few new people which was a miracle and so that was awesome. I also so Natalie's family at stake conference so that was lit. It's a small small world
Sunday:we had stake conference again and that was good. 


Spiritual thought: this week I listened to a lot of talks. throughout my mission I've come to love talks especially conference talks. When I listen to them I know without a doubt that they are speaking the truth and testifying with the sprit. They are men called of God to teach his people. I know if we have questions, doubts or concerns we can turn to general conference for the answer. I invite you all to watch general conference with a specific question in mind. It doesn't even have to be church related. I know as you pray and watch conferencia with a true intent having faith in christ you will find an answer to your questions. 

Have a great week everyone, 
Elder Jonah Greer

Week 8

  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...
