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).

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...
April 13th 2026 Buena! Yesterday was one month since I landed in Puerto Rico. Feels like an eternity and and feels like the blink of an eye. Had a exchange with Elder Montoya, who is easily my favorite ginger Panamian from Idaho. On friday we had zone conference! Abour half the missionaries in PR met up and got to hear some inspired/inspiring teachings from our Mission President. Everytime I hear him talk, I get a better idea of just how much I have to learn. Super cool teachings about Faith, I'm doing everything in my power to not spend the whole email rehashing everything. Since Zone Conference is up in San Juan and my area specifically is the furthest from it in the zone, we got to drive up thursday evening and spend the night at the AP's estate. It's cool to see how the 1% live. The best part of zone conference (besides hearing uplifting spiritual instruction, of course) was seeing my old cmm pals (except Ellis ) It was fun to see them again, but even better to hear it ...
