Hello
Friends and family,
Well, transfers were this week so my new companion is Elder
Waddell. He has only been here for five months, but he studied Spanish for five
years so he is completely fluent. It is a night and day difference when it
comes to companions. I feel like I just got out to the mission field again, but
I know you can learn something from each one of your companions. He works
really hard, and he is from Boise, Idaho.
This week we baptized
Arturo. I baptized him, and it was an awesome experience. He is a bigger dude
and I almost baptized myself in the process. I know he will be a strong leader
in the church. Right now we are teaching some of his friends so that’s awesome.
The drunken dudes love the white kids. This one drunken dude hugged me and proceeded
to kiss me on the face and on the neck. It was so disgusting. He had an eagle
death grip on me. Elder Lopez was laughing so hard. This week I learned the
importance of the ward members. My companion and I are both new to this area.
The members have kindly showed us around and not only gave us references, but
helped us teach as well. This has helped us so much. I know when I get home I
need to still be involved in the missionary work. Elder Bednar told us that the
members find and the elders teach. I am constantly learning. Sometimes I feel
like the investigator. My testimony is constantly growing. I know that the
Savior knows us personally.
