Wow, this week has been pretty spiritually fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10: Zone Conference was great! <\/strong>We talked a lot about finding, and how we need to have more faith while being out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9: Elder Tarazon got scared by some cool kids <\/strong>So there were some 12 year olds riding on scooters a couple blocks down from us, and Elder Tarazon just booked it. I was really confused, and followed him into the burger king parking lot he was being all sneaky in, and heard him muttering “Oh crap, it’s the cool kids, we can’t let them see us.” Apparently he would do that joke with his last companion. Just a weird experience and overall. Oh well, it’s whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7: I found a cool “How to Play Hymns” piano book<\/strong> So whenever we are at the church for P-Day or District council I’ll bring it and practice. I’m sure it will be a useful skill to have, especially on the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6: I got sick! Yaaaay!<\/strong> Nothing really bad, but more of a pile of inconveniences that led to a unproductful day. We did a little phone contacting, just to start on cleaning out our area book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5: Had housing inspections today<\/strong> It was the most chill inspection, Brother Birdsoll didn’t really look for anything, he just walked in, checked the smoke alarm, and asked if everything was working. I am glad that I spent plenty of time after hours making everything clean though. It feels good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4: Elder Tarazon really wanted to watch the superbowl, but we didn’t have anybody that we could go to.<\/strong> So we just heard the news (RIP the Rams) from other Elders that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3: On exchanges with the Zone Leaders we found a new, played some Catan, and helped some old people!<\/strong> Elder Leifson and I talked to this guy named Terrance, who had been through a lot o crap in his life, we played some more Catan, but it did not take 3+ hours, thankfully, and did service at the Eugene Old Folk’s Home! We helped set up and serve lunch, it was great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2: It snowed!! WoW!!!<\/strong> A light sprinkling of snow awaited us this morning, not enough for anything fun, except maybe a snowball or two, but it was nice to see some snow anyways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1: We talked to a guy who had a ton of Batman logos plastered all over his car.<\/strong> He was pretty cool, we talked about Batman for a little bit, some comics things, and I found out from him that Ben Affleck might be hanging up the cape! Darn, I thought that BatFleck was pretty cool, oh well. He said we could come back, and I think that was because we shared common interests. It will be cool to see where this goes, as he wasn’t too interested in the Gospel. I’ll have to make sure that we establish that expectation with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love you all, and hope that you have been able to see the blessings that the Lord has sprinkled all over this week for you! That’s something that I have noticed, you need to notice the things that the Lord is doing for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya Boi, Elder Berky <\/p>\n\n\n\n
