February 24th, 2026 First: sorry for not BCCing last time, Kip Kreager shamed me and it won't happen again. Ok. Onward, we march. "For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad." (2 Ne 2:11) If last week was righteousness, holiness, and good, this week was wickedness, misery, and bad. Slight exaggeration, but it was certainly a step down. I think 70% of the people in the CCM were sick. My comp spent half of Thursday night on the toilet, he almost fell asleep there. I wasn't doing much better. I feel bad for my comp, I think the happiest I saw him all week was when we had corndogs for dinner (and he has Celiac disease, so he peeled the bread off and just ate the hotdog).

March 16th, 2026 Ay chacho, it's been quite the week Tuesday night I stayed up until 1am, chatting with the homies and getting excited to head out to the field. Then we got to the buses and discovered our flight was cancelled. It was quite the buzzkill. But then, right before the bus drove off, they said 'everything is fixed, get on the bus!' I sat down next to Elder Vega and we were grinning ear to ear, cuz "We're going to Puerto Rico!!" And then someone got on the bus and told us, "just kidding! Flight is cancelled, get off the bus." Hearing it a second time was an even bigger buzz kill. Because the CCM loves us, they allowed us to get ~40 minutes of sleep, before hopping on another bus at 4am We arrived at the mexico city airport at 5am, which is good because our flight was at 10:30, so we were cutting it close. Only got to wait around for 4½ hours.   Arriving in the Charlotte airport was weird, I was much closer to home than I ever thought I wo...

April 20th, 2026 Ayyy,¿qué paso papi? Happy twentieth day of April, I hope today is just like any other day and holds zero significance for you. This week was pretty solid, I got to do an exchange up in Juncos with Elder Guzmán, and since he's Guatemalan and doesn't have a license, I got emergency driving privleges! So, after no driving for about 3 months, I dove into the deep end and drove through a mountainous rainforest full of Borricua drivers at night with torrential downpour and the Tabernacle Choir blasting in our 2026 Camry. I'm still learning spanish and Guzmán is still learning english, so a slight laguage gap existed and conversation was a bit sparse. After 15 minutes of silence, I ran over a frog and he just said "Adios Coqui". I've never felt more comp unity. Then the next night I ran over a cat (genuinely felt terrible but the cat shouldn't have jumped under my wheel if he didn't wanna get run over) and that was the most I saw Elder Guzmá...
