Elder Jack Plumb's San Jose, California Spanish Speaking Mission March 10, 2021 - 2023

  Whats up everybody! This week was pretty exciting for the most part. My comp and I switched to bikes this past week ughh but we're actually super hyped and are seting a goal to get some good cut legs by the end of this transfer haha. But we very much missed the rav4 hybrid, but not Twee, which is this annoying speed detector on the car that yells at you everytime u go a mile over the speed limit, which drove my comp crazy haha, but helped us stay safe   . We also got a ton of food from a new convert my comp baptized down in watsonville so we got a lot of delicious fruit from her. We also did some service for our member friend bro weaver who helps out with the spanish branch in san jose. He also loves taco bell and the chalupa because he never stops talking about it haha so he took us their after we shoveled some rocks for him. Yesterday at church their were probably twice as many people their than usual so we were really excited about that as well. So update on Ricardo he le...

  Hey everyone! This week flew by. Unfortunately earlier the week we had to drop our baptism date with Ricardo because we found out he just wasnt getting baptized for the right reasons and he wanted to push it back. So we put him on date for the 22nd of May, but then we found out yesterday that he is moving back to Las Vegas. So we are very bummed about that but are gonna talk to him this week and hopefully can get him back on track. Besides the tough news with Ricardo, the other people we are teaching have been doing great. We just put a guy named Gonzalo on date and have another girl named Brinda we are planning on putting on date this week. On wednesday we were knocking a door of someone we used to teach but hadnt gotten in contact with them for a couple months. A different guy named Santiago answered the door instead. He said the other person had moved out about a month ago but he immediatley invited us in. We shared with him a scripture and message of Christ and after he told ...

 What's up everybody! I have been in San jose for two weeks now and I'm loving it. It has definitely been challenging and stressful with the new transition and new information to take in, but each day I see myself improve. I got in on April 20th and met my mission president and my companion and had a bomb dinner at his house that some sisters in the ward made. My companions name is Elder Burrup and he is awesome. We all call him elder burro tho because thats what the Latinos call him. We get along great tho and he is extremely determined to get the Lord's work done and pushes me to do the same. My district and zone are also great and every tuesday we get a sweet meal after zone and district council from a member in the Saratoga stake and it is rica (delicious), which is a big win since we don't get many meals from members. With covid calming down, we are able to go in people's house and go out and find people which is awesome. This past Thursday Elder Burrup and I h...
