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 of our church, and this 80-pound metal gate just falls off the track. The metal hinges just broke, and the gate just fell. So we move that and fix and clean up all the metal chunks, and the second we go to open our car, lightning out of nowhere goes across the sky from every direction like the longest bolts, but only in the clouds, so it was like sideways lightning. And it was the scariest thing ever, and I can't even describe the lightning, kinda like that but through every direction, so it was wack.

Yo, this week was so wild. So, Wednesday we had zone conference in Ponce, and so Ponce from San Juan and Ponce from Arecibo (where I live) is the same time to get there, but it takes us an hour east to get to San Juan. Anyways, this is why this makes sense, so we get a call Tuesday night from the zone leaders that we were invited to sleep at the assist house for zone conference to save us time (when it literally just added an extra hour driving east), but we're not complaining because we love sleepovers, and our assistants and zone leaders wanted us to come sleep over with them, so we do. So we go to Jardines de Caparra, which is the sketchy neighborhood because there is a giant caserillo, which is government housing and basically the ghetto. We're not allowed in them as missionaries anyways. The assistants live right next to one of the big ones in Bayamon, and so we go to bed and wake up, and their truck was stolen, lol hahahahahah. It was so wack. Then we were almost late because we had to go get them the guagua, which is the van from the mission office. Lol, it was insane. I'm telling you, this week was so wack.

We had a sick conference session. I love conferences where the apostles and prophets are so sick. I loved it. Brad Wilcox talks so much from Saturday night's session. It's sick conference is dope. We had a sick setup for Sunday morning. Our district made so much food, and we got amarillos.

I found my new favorite Puerto Rican food. It's Pionono. It's so freaking good, some amarillos con carne in a ball, and it's so good.

On one of the days this week, we were street contacting, and I had to pee so, so bad. So we had a meal at 4:30, and we were needing to leave, but he said, "Yo, let's go around this block, and I gotta pee." So I am like, "Nah, mate, we gotta meet the member at the church for food." We end up going down the endless block that doesn't connect, and we are lost. So we ask some lady, and she's like, "Yeah, it does not connect." So we were walking in a maze. We didn't have any new friends during this, and I didn't know whether to hit him or to high five him.

Many more stories out of time, though. Nos vemos.
