Week 20: I'm Gonna Be A Freemason?

Hello!

Due to my lack of energy and time I will just give the sparknotes of this last week:

• One of the members in our ward used to be in VocalPoint and we had dinner with him and his family this last week! He was was showing us their albums and it was so cool to see all the songs I listen to that he's in!

• My wonderful companion has decided it would be funny to scare me at every opportunity he gets, so I've developed a fear of opening doors and walking around corners. Thanks Elder Gonzales. 

• We raced some middle school boys on our bikes and I won

• We met a girl named Sadora that's really interested in reading the Book of Mormon! 

• We stopped by our friend Ferando's house and found out that he hasn't been getting any of our texts for like 2 weeks. (thanks Satan) So we texted and called him right then and it still didn't go through. After trying to figure it out for awhile one of our texts miraculously went through, so now he'll hopefully be getting our messages!

• We had dinner and a lesson with John and Elizabeth! It went great and I got to pet their adorable dogs so it was a win in my book.

• Elder Gonzales posted in a Facebook group that we offer free service and a guy messaged him and said he could use some help cleaning up his garage. So we went over the next morning to help out! He had so many cool antiques and family heirlooms. His father was also a freemason so he had a whole bunch of pocket knives and coins with masonic symbols on them and he gave them to us! I heard it's pretty difficult to become a freemason, but now I think I have an in.

• On Friday I got asked to be in a Christmas music video with some other missionaries in the zone, so I had to record for it without practicing on Friday and then we filmed the video on Saturday Morning. It was super fun though! And tomorrow we're filming for a solo that I'm doing!

Love y'all!
