Week 26

 Hola guapos! How have you been? Gooood...?Good!

So we started off this week with the arrival of my new companion, Elder Lamb, into the mission field! That's right, he's a cute lil' greenie, which makes me a cute lil' trainer 😉 But I'm super duper blessed, cause for the first call that night, he was speaking almost fluent Spanish, cause he took a couple years of Spanish class in high school, and also worked at Burger King for a couple of years and can name basically every food item in Spanish. He was also in the very first district that participated in the online MTC, since all of the in-person MTCs closed down back in March.

We also had an all-day p-day on Friday to celebrate Pioneer Day (Utah amirite?). People were lighting off their extra fireworks from the 4th of July, and we celebrated by going to a chapel with the Zone, played some games, and ate some pizza.
That Monday afterwards (since we didn't have p-day), we participated in our stake's food drive, where we helped load close to 500 cars with food.

We've also had about 2,378,821,945 meetings this week, and although we don't have a car, we still got 🚴‍♂️ BIKES 🚴‍♂️, and even though we're all sweaty and tired by the time we get back to the apartment (cause it's 2,378,821,945°F here), we made sure to take advantage of our sick nasty bikes and take a squad photo. Sooo... enjoy!

(Week consisting of 7/20/20 to 7/27/20)

Week 25

¡Hola holaa! ¿Cómo están ustedes? ¡Espero que todo esté bien por allá! Everything has been fun and dandy over here that's for sure!

So many of you might still be asking yourself, "Isn't Elder Terry supposed to be in Perú right now? Why is he still in Utah? I thought he was going to be brown and fluent in Spanish and 50 pounds heavier by the time he came back!" Well, hopefully all those last things come true, but yea I'm still here in the Utah Salt Lake City West Mission! And the way things are going right now, I might be here for quite a while longer. Our mission president told us that it'll probably be around January of 2021 that the reassigned missionaries will begin to be sent back to their originally called missions. So maybe half my mission will be here in Utah and the other half in Perú. Either way imma make the most of my mission, no matter where I'm at!

The new transfer started this past week! The only thing that really changed for me was that my district got a lot bigger - it's going from 3 companionships/6 missionaries to 5 companionships/13 missionaries... and 6 of those 13 missionaries are reassigned greenies! 4 of them are actually coming here today, including our greenie, Elder Lamb!! And I can't wait to be a trainer!

Sorry for getting behind on emails again. This week covers 7/14/20 to 7/20/20
