"Yooo are you guys a couple?" TOCOA Week Forty Five

Welp my email streak is over sorry mom for missing last week🀫🧏 I dont remember what happened 2 weeks ago we just gonna go into THIS WEEK

 

Lowkey flew by as a week which was a shocker, I read smth that when you get in a schedule the time goes by faster cause there's less big moments or memories you remember and lowkey thats what this week feels like cause nothing crazy happened we just grinded

 

I think spanish may actually be smth I understand now cause this week we would spend maybe an average of an hour in every lesson and I'd be talking the whole time and just FLIES byπŸ†™️πŸ†™️

President and Sister Ostler with Elder Shanklin
Going home after three years as mission leaders
 

Yah but heres the highlights

 

our penchinista left us to go to the usaπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸˆπŸ¦…so we needed to find someone to make us food, that night we were teaching a lesson to a member who has 3 kids and tons of stuff have happened recently that have made her not able to work. I was sharing a scripture about god being with us in all times and then I got the thought to ask her to be our penchinista and she was THRILLED, she apparently studied how to cook and now has a way to earn money, so dope to see god looking our for his children through other people. AND WE GOT FOOOD✅️πŸ†™️πŸ”›πŸ”

 

Missionaries≠Gay

So me and my comp were flying through contacts one day when I was like I want a popsicle🍦 so we went and got a popsicle and my comp got one too. So there we were two missionaries eating popsicles walking down a honduras road and I had the thought "this feels kinda gay right now" and then right after that thought a dude in fluent english yells "YOO ARE YOU GUYS A COUPLE" caught off guard so im like "WHAT?" and then he repeats his question and starts talking about how Trump doesnt like gays and he was warning us that in honduras they aren't welcome either. I was so confused so I explained we weren't gay and then i just started talking about Jesus and then I had an hour conversation with this dude about the trinity and then he said he would come to church(spirit) but yah kinda weird interaction but if he comes to church I'll take being called gay.

 

The guy who was worried about us being gay

So we returned to visit that dude and had a 2 hour lesson(rare for hard working missions idk bout you state side guys(tyler)) and bro was 100% like he's going to church(update he didn't but high hopes next week)

 

GRATEFUL FOR 0 ASSISTENCIAS 

So we had like 8 people confirmed coming to church... 0 came but lowkey a blessing cause maybe one of the worse church experiences I've had. It was stake conference and they transmitted the video to our chapel but whole bunch of technology problems and 7 people showed up in total: 6 inactives and 1 member. Yes I've listened to uchdorfts last conference talk but yah lowkey was kinda glad our investigators didn't come lolπŸ”₯πŸ›ΆπŸŒŠ

 

That's my week we at the ocean right now fishing with
some other misioneros for pday so dubsss, my mission pres and his wife go home in 3 days so we'll see if my new president pulls a "better that one man perish than a whole nation" and sends all the disobedient elders home. Mom you might be seeing me soon

 


Have a W week
