ENGLISH FAST/AYUNANDO DE INGLES

Oh my goodness, I don't know English. It's been so long. I have been fasting English as a zone out here for, like, forever. Whose idea was it to give me the zone leader from San Juan? I don't know how to Spanish, and now I don't know how to Ingles. This is terrible. I can't communicate in any language. What the heck, even are languages? My brain is broken. I hate this. I am tired of my brain hurting. Why can't I know Spanish? Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj. Anyways, so we had transfers this week which were sick. I love people. I've loved all my comps. Shout out to my comps for being the goat. The only problem is 1, I am barely out of training, so all I knew was Elder Christensen. So that was an adjustment to have to get used to not having him around me. And 2, I probably won't see him a lot until his wedding. He told me I could go (he didn't...

Puerto Rican Ladies Are In Love With Me

Well, to start off, we got transfer calls last night... Good news and bad news, lol. The good news is Elder Christensen is gone, and the bad news is I'm still in Arecibo. Wait, I said that wrong, lol. The good news is that I am still in Arecibo, and the bad news is that Elder Christensen and my bromance is over. Wait, what...? 1 Thessalonians 5:26 says, "Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss." Wait, what did he say? Don't worry about it, lol. I am just kidding. But seriously, I will miss Elder Christensen. It's so weird. We've lived together for three months, and after living with someone for that long, you get so close. I think of him as one of my closest friends, and he's kind of like my dad (mission dad). He's just been here to teach me. It will be weird. But on that note, I am so excited to get my new compañero. Se llama Elder Tuescher, which will be really confusing for those Puerto Ricans. Elder Tew and Tuescher, lol. They will be so confused, ...

Poisoned By A Puertorriqueño

Well, as you all know, I am a picky eater... the pickiest. And, well, Satan knows that, so what does he do? He gives me 5 member meals this week, oh querido... (It's actually not that difficult anymore since I've done it so much, but I still hate eating at people's houses.) Meal 1 - Let's get into the food stories this week because, well, it's quite entertaining. So the only normal one was Tuesday. We had a member bring us pizza to our apartment, and she couldn't find it because it's in a maze (Puerto Rico neighborhoods are mazes, lol). Anyways, she gets lost, 30 minutes later tells us to meet her at the church, so that was funny. Then we got fire pizza, and that was the most normal day we had with food, lol. Meal 2 - On Wednesday, we had a member meal with the pagan family in Lechuga (it's the town name which means lettuce). So we get to their house, and they have a devil dog, I mean a devil dog, like came running out of the cage trying to bite us for n...

Spooky Season

Man, this was the spookiest week of my entire life. It was the weirdest week I have ever had in my entire life, lol. To start off, on October 1, 2021, we were in the chapel at around 7. The sun had set, and there were no clouds in sight. We were done with calls and leaving for a lesson, and then we shut the door of the office we have because we were in the Historia Familiar and the Relief Society room light is on, which is weird because it wasn't on when we came in. So we go turn that off, and by the time the light is off, we walk back and turn and look down the hall. The bishop and the clerk's office is on, and it wasn't when we walked out of the Historia Familiar, so we walk down the hall, and the doors are wide open. They're always shut and locked. The bishop and his counselors said they weren't here, and no one else has a key, so we're sketched out at this point, and we're like, "What the...?" So we go to leave, and we walk out to shut the gate...
