guys im not even kidding this week was the greatest and the worst week in the mission so far and I know I say that every single week but for reals this time its so true.
SO first of all my companion. Shes AWESOME! Shes been on the mission for about 6 months, but if you talked to her you'd think she's been here for years. Her Spanish is spectacular! I was super worried at first when I found out she had only been out for a couple of months, but no worries. Im definitely taken care of, shes SUPER AWESOME! She's from Canada and she's 19 too! I love her to death! We get along super well. And I'm not gonna lie, its pretty nice to talk in English a little bit.
This week was super hard though because since she's new here in the sector, she doesn't know her way around yet... So I've kinda been in charge of everything and its kind of a lot of pressure for a guagua (baby)! But, once again I've been pushed out of my comfort zone and I've been talking a lot more to the members and our investigators, which has really really helped my spanish! So I guess its like a blessing in disguise. I guess.
Esteban. Esteban is SO FRUSTRATING! He's like never in his tent, and so its super hard for us to get a hold of him. We got to visit him once this week, but it was POURING RAIN, it was starting to get dark, and his brother was a little drunk, so needless to say it was a short and sweet visit. He really does want to change his life and get back on his feet, so i'm definitely gonna keep fighting for him, I know he's gonna get baptized.
CONFERENCE WAS FREAKING FANTASTIC! Before the mission everyone was like, "enjoy the conference on the mission, because it seriously is so different," well, I spent the past month and a half praying and learning spanish as fast as I could so that I could understand even just a little bit of Conference so I could enjoy it, but I was informed about 10 minutes before it started that they had a room set up so we could watch it in English! I was a little excited. It was so so so nice to understand everything. and seriously it was such a beautiful conference. Seriously every talk was so inspired, and a lot of questions I didnt even know I had were answered. I LOVED ELDER HOLLANDS TALK. I loved his quote where he said, "The Lord blesses those that want to improve." His message was so golden about how the Lord doesn't expect us to be perfect, he just expects us to keep trying every day. I also loved Elder Christoffersons talk about Fathers, made me miss my daddy a lil bit. ;)
Pday today has been super fun. We ate some completos, and we went and looked at this beautiful pond that is super close to our house! This city is soooo pretty. I never want to leave. I could serve my whole mission here. hahaha,
but yeah. oh what a happy week. I hope you all had a happy week and you enjoyed conference and you ate lots of ice cream like elder holland said.
chauuuuuu.
