Yay!
I get to email home! We are in Juticalpa for P-Day and this is the 5th
cybercafe that we had to go to and still wait 20 minutes for a
computer. Then my keyboard stopped working. But now obviously it is
working. Yay!
Anyway, this was a really good and
different week. All in one week I had a new companion, then he got
sick, it was my birthday, and general conference. Elder Torres is back
in an area in Tegucigalpa and it is so weird not to have him here.
But that also means that I am done with my training.
My
new companion is Elder Bradshaw and he is from Idaho. He is really
awesome and his Spanish is really good since he has 18 months in the
mission. He was also serving in the office the same time that Elder
Torres was. Kinda neat. Even though we are still getting used to
each other, I already feel that we teach well together. With transfers,
our district is gringo dominated. 5 out of 8 are from the USA.
The
next day (Friday) Elder Bradshaw and Elder Dial were both sick, so
Elder Dial´s new companion, Elder Acosta, and I went out to work. Elder
Acosta is really awesome. He is this super tiny Guatemalan and he
loves to say my name. haha. He is also a really great missionary and we
were able to teach and contact a lot of people that day.
Saturday
it was raining a lot, and is was my birthday, and it was conference.
We were basically going around and trying to get all of our
investigators to go to conference. For conference, they had it playing
on the big screen at the church, but then we also tried to get it in
English on one the the computers in the back room. We were able to
watch chunks of conference in English if the internet was functioning
properly. The parts I watched in Spanish, I will need to go read again
later because honestly it was kind of hard to understand everything or
stay focused with a Spanish dub. It
also really isn't the same watching conference without hearing their
actual voices haha. But it was really good, The music was really good
this year as well. I think one of my favorite talks was given my Kevin W. Pearson of the seventy about enduring to the end.
Todo
esta bien aqui en Catacamas! Hasta proximo lunes! Que extrano a tener
20 anos. Estoy usando un keyboard americano y no tiene los accentos.
