Week 14

August 17, 2022

I think this week has been the best week I've had here so far. This is the first week after transfers and my companion was assigned as district leader, so its been really cool to see what that looks like, and I've been trying to help where I can, (even though technically I'm not really supposed to, I'm still just a junior companion, but I cant really relax when I know he's super busy). He had a meeting to go to in person yesterday, so I was put with another elder whos only been here 6 days! So when we went out street contacting I got to lead the conversations, because he doesn't hardly know Spanish. That was super fun for me. Its starting raining more here so that's been a nice change of weather . People don't really answer their doors when its raining so we just trudge around and try to find a members house so we can 'share a message'... and hide from the rain. I can finally say that Spanish has clicked in my head. I can actually understand so...

Week 15

August 25, 2022

Alright, week 15. Man, this week has been something. We had our baptisms on Saturday, which was super cool. I had a really cool personal, spiritual experience while we were there. Our mission president and his wife even came too, which almost never happens. Then we had zone conference Tuesday, so we got to see President Woahn and his wife again. I also got 4 new ties which are pretty cool. Pday today (11:28 (still technically Wednesday but yall probably wont see this till Thursday)) we ate lunch with the elders in the district, afterwards we played games at the house. Then we assisted another baptism tonight, and President Woahn and his wife showed up again, so we've seen them 3 times in the past 5 days (we must be their favorite (broma [joke])). My Spanish today was pretty bad (just have those days sometimes) and I couldn't understand or speak for crap really so our appointment was completely led by Elder Jenson (Thank you but also sorry ). I've had a cramp in my...

Week 56: Transfers

June 09, 2023

(Volcanos) June 8, 2023 So we just got transfer news. I'll be staying here for a 3rd transfer, but my companion is leaving me again. This time, I'll be receiving a greeny to finish his missionary training, meaning it's time to whip out my drill sergeant face and whip him into shape. Having fun in the process of course. On another note, we got a little sick again. But, now we know for sure what causes it. It's every single time that we eat at a certain investigator's house. Every single time we eat there, we get sick. So now we know. Really not much else other than that. Spiritual Thought: I know I've been lacking in these emails lately. This transfer has been a very special one. My favorite so far. But not without its difficulties, to be sure. I've learned more than anything about weaknesses, and how through Christ, these weaknesses can be made into strengths. I'm a very weak person. I struggle most days just to get out of bed, and I lay restless in ...
