Hola everyone!
So being that Elder Bowles didn't make his flight to Argentina, and now that we have our new greenie, Elder Smith, we are now in a quad! And before Elder Bowles leaves, we wanted to make the most of this superpower that we now possess - the power of the split. We can now break off into two and two to teach double the lessons and get double the responsibilities done!
Here are some highlights of the past two weeks:
> We had the opportunity to teach a bunch of seminary classes at the nearby high school about missionary work, and it was super fun to be reminded how awful of a seminary student I used to be 😅
> We found the Masedo family, a massive family of 15 people in one household, and we're now teaching them!
> We are also teaching English to all the billion kids in the Masedo family. These kids are a bunch of clowns, and absolutely die laughing every time we make a joke or do something funny. and I have never been more giddy in my whole life than in these classes. Just pure joy! 😁
> We had plans to get at least 15 people to church on Sunday, and everything was going according to plan, until we found out the day before that it was... Stake Conference, which was at a different time and through zoom and in English and was two hours long 😑😑😑 Let's just say we didn't have 15 people at church that day.
> We were invited to the Fitness Merit Badge activity, which became a lot more exciting when one of the scouts absolutely h u r l e d three times in a row 🤧 But that wasn't as exciting as when Elder Bowles flexed on all the boys by doin 25 pull-ups like it was nothin'
> We also had a Zone Conference where the theme was on the Holy Ghost, and relying on it in every aspect of the work. We have made it a focus in our companionship to follow every spiritual prompting that we get to better follow the will of God 🙌
> Went to Olive Garden for the first time in a couple years, and we all pounded the unlimited soups, salads, and breadsticks 🥖
> I broke two personal records in my mission by achieving 45 lessons in a week and getting 8 people to church! 💪
But all good things must come to an end, cause after spending an extra two weeks here in Utah, Elder Bowles ended up making it to Argentina... again! Although we can't split anymore, I know that he's in a better place now.... but actually not really cause Utah is lowkey where it's at 🔥😂
(Weeks consisting of 2/23/21 - 3/1/21 and 3/2/21 - 3/8/21)
