Goodbye Elder Chavez, Hello Corolla!!



 Welcome. Thank you all for being here. It's been another good week. Lots of ups lots of downs, but in the end we came out with the W.

-Insane burgers (If I can even call them that haha) (see Monday)
-Probably the best lesson I've taught yet (see Sunday)
- We became a trio with Elder Draughon and it was fun.
- Because we all had to sleep in the same room I got the floor :) (luckily I snagged the couch cushions haha)
- We got a CAR! (hence the title)

Monday- Nicely P-day, we balled with the district on la mañana and then did some shopping. Then we just hung out with the district played some sports and some card games. Then I talked with my wonderful familia. At 6 we went to a members house for dinner kinda as Elder Chavez's goodbye to them and they made us an insane meal my mind was boggled. It was 2 donuts then a one pound burger and then bacon and two more donuts as the top bun (don't worry I'll attach some pictures cause it's hard to envision in your head haha). We had two good lessons with some English bishops and then we headed home.

Martes- Balled up. We did exchanges for the first time which was a super cool experience, I was with elder Underwood who is super cool. We had a lot of good studies and planning which is good because E. Chavez isn't the best at that sometimes haha. For dinner Elder Roberts and Bethea brought us Pizza and we ate pizza and played some games! Then we had one member lesson and it went pretty good.

Miércoles- Solid day, we did some service in the morning first we read to the kids at the school and then when we were biking back we saw an elderly couple raking their leaves so we helped them. It was quite good. 

Thursday- A very crazy day, our district leader left to Chile in the morning and so at district council we became a trio with Elder Draughon. We had district council and then we got some lunch and then we had to zoom to the mission office, then we dropped of some Elders and then we traded cars with the Hermanas (Because of some weird creepy stuff going on). Then we had studies had dinner then did some service, we put together some furniture for a new member. Then we had soccer night and it was actually hype. I went off! I even scored! My defense was very good (that's what they told me) so I'm glad I'm improving.

Viernes- We played basketball which was good. We had good studies and planning and then we did some good hard work service at Hermana Peits house then she had us over for dinner that night which was very good. She has an awesome accent and is super fun to listen to her tell stories.

Saturday- We ran in the morning and did a little workout so that was good. Then I whipped up some heat pancakes. Then there was this awesome basketball tourney at an English ward and we were invited to play. Sadly we pulled a Gonzaga and went undefeated until the championship. Muy triste. But it was lots of fun. That night we went on exchanges with ZL Elder Arce it was super good. We met a pretty silly guy that said we don't need to pray and we could just talk to God like he was right there. He also said that we didn't need to go to church haha. But the weirdest part about him was he would cuss in the most random places haha it was weird. But we had a great night. We then went home and had a Pizza night with Concretes from Culvers. So that was very fun and good.

Domingo- We went to church and Elder Chavez said bye to a lot of people. Then we went and visited some people he wanted to say bye too. Then we went home and ate. Then we went to a lesson with the Torres family and yay what an awesome lesson! We taught the restoration and they told us they believe that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith is a prophet! I'm so happy for them! Then we ate dinner with one of Elder Chavez's favorite families. Then we went home and got the transfer board! I'm so happy, because I'm staying in the area and in the house with the ZL's! My new comp is Elder Payne so hopefully he is cool.
