Week 40/41

 Hola como estan todos! 
  These last 2 weeks have been awesome and have been full of work and fun, I don't have a ton of time so I apologize if this email is a little short.

On p day we went on a super cool hike to a waterfall.  We hired a taxi but the road was really bad and so he dropped us off a little far from the trail head.  It was still super fun and super pretty.  I forgot how much i love being outdoors and hiking

We have a pizza tower in our apartment and it has almost gotten all of the way to the ceiling.  

My comp and I have been feeling very motivated to workout and so this week during lunch we made a Gym on our roof.  It has a bench and a few different curl bars and a few other cool things.

We also have made progress on our Jesus wall.  

We had many miracles this week especially one of the daughters of an inactive member recently asked to be baptized which is a miracle we have been praying for for a long time. 

I went on 2 exchanges this week, one of them to Elisa Pina and the other one I was here in my area.

Our friend Rubens has been killing it with the missionary work.  We will leave with him often and he will go up to random Haitians and ask them if they want to change.  When they say yes he turns to us and says that he wants to change, and then explains to the people that Jesus will help them change.

For my spiritual thought I invite you all to look for the small miracles in your lives.  I know that we can find great happiness when we focus on the small but important miracles .  One miracle I saw this week was when we were finding.  It was hot and no one was ready to listen to us.  I said to my comp that i really wanted ice cream (it's really cheap here). He said yeah me too and then not even 10 seconds later we heard our ice cream man singing his song.  Yes, he drives around in his car with a microphone singing and selling ice cream all day. He then gave us our ice cream for super cheap.  I know he was sent from God.  God loves and knows us. He is watching us in our trials and He sends us help.  Sometimes we just have to open our eyes.
Have a great week!!

  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...
