Pues esta semana fue interesante!!
Well this week was interesting!! So to start off I said bye
to Elder Diaz this past Tuesday and he went on his way to Apodaca, like an hour
and a half away from me. I then had to take an Uber (because we have
connections) to the offices which was like an hour of being able to be alone
without a compañero which was really strange la verdad. So I got to the office
and had some training since I was going to be training a new missionary. It was
really strange because all the other trainers have like 15 months or more, and
I have a solid 4 haha. I then met my new compañero, Elder Delcid. He is a
pretty cool dude from New York. His familia is from Honduras so he can speak
Español which is a blessing for me haha. We then went back to the house
and went straight to work. It's really different being a trainer because I have
to do everything. I have to talk to everyone and teach every lesson almost
completely by myself while mi compañero is learning.
So this week I have been helping Elder Delcid get the hang
of things in the mission. We did a lot of walking and contacting to help him
get familiar with our area. It has been kinda hard this week with people and
investigadores still out of town for vacations. We had some pretty awesome
lessons this week though that have helped mi new compañero feel at home. We had
a Noche de Hogar with the Garcia familia and it was so awesome. It was El Dia
de los Reyes so we ate some really tasty meat and pasta and mashed potatoes and
we had a King Cake!!! Inside this cake there is a baby and if you get the baby
in your piece you have to make tamales for everyone. Luckily Hna Garcia got the
baby so next time we go we will be eating some bien rico tamales!
We also started teaching Norma and her family this week. She
is actually really really cool and even though she is a mom of 4 she acts like
a joven with us haha. Her kids are really cool! We talk about american music so
they are super fun! So they have listened to missionaries before but they moved
and nobody knew where they moved to. Then one day they just showed up to the
church and they asked when we could come over to teach them! It was actually
really an amazing and dope experience!
This week I have some pretty awesome things that have
happened to me. So the first is that I have been carrying candy around in my
bag for the kids because I love kids and we speak the same amount of Spanish
haha. All the kids here know the big white dude that has candy! The other thing
is that we were talking to an hermana at her house and then after we said
goodbye to her all of the sudden the dog next door jumped over the fence and
started chasing us. Elder Delcid just took off running so I had to follow him.
We sprinted like half the street before the dog finally stopped. It was so
funny la verdad.
Ok before I leave I just one last thing to say. Something
that I have learned from training a newbie is that you have to trust the
Lord....A LOT: Like it says in Proverbios 3:5-6 "Confía en Jehová con todo
tu corazón, y no te apoyes en tu propia prudencia. Reconócelo en todos tus
caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas."
We need to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and He
will direct our paths!
Well that's all this week
les extraño y les amo!!
con amor
