I
am in this weird mission limbo where I have my new area and companion,
but I also have to come back to the office to train the new general
secretary. All last week I was in my old area, so I could go to the
office and train. But this weekend, I was able to actually meet my new
companion and work in my new area. My companion is Elder Garcia from
Guatemala, super close to the border of Mexico. He is newer in the
mission (he has about 5 months). He is super cool, and laid back. We
are the area, Los Laureles (Colonia San Francisco), which is basically
on the top of this hill in Comayaguela. There are some pretty good views
of the city up there. I can see my two old areas in the distance. I
am going to end up spending almost a whole year straight just in the
city, within three areas.
Our
house is on the second floor of a restaurant owned by a member. The
apartment is not bad, but I just have to get used to taking cold bucket
showers again because we only have running water every few days. It was
kind of sad after taking hot showers for the last seven months haha.
The landlady´s cat sneaked into out apartment and pooped in an empty
box, haha. I hope the elders before me haven´t been feeding the cat
because we are not supposed to have pets, haha.
Elder
Garcia has been showing me around the area, and we got to meet a lot of
members and less actives, as well as some of the investigators that we
have. We are teaching some really awesome families. We have also been
getting a lot of rain this last week. I guess we are heading into the
wet season now. It usually rains every night now.
Today
I am writing from the office. I might have to come and pop in every now
and then to help out the new secretary. But everything is pretty good
and I am excited to work in a new area!
