1st week of the transfer
April 14, 2014
Well this week drug on! It was one of the longest weeks I had in a really long time. We did work though. Nobody came to church which stunk. We have to solidify people or drop them this week because we gotta get em in da wata!
I saw Elder Moss and Elder Moser at a wedding reception on Saturday.They taught a family that got sealed which is pretty cool. I miss Elder Moss a lot!
A recent convert of Elder Harris and I picked us up while we were waiting at a bus stop. Tino has a job now but complains about it. He is less active now and we need to send him some letters and encourage him to go back to church. When we taught him though he didn't have a job and now he does so thats a blessing he doesn't see yet.
I have been working out super hard because we have sooo much equipment to use! I get up at 5:40 every morning and its cool because I am not even tired!
I got a haircut today and talked to the lady in spanish and she has been here for 18 years and hasn't learned english and I told her I have been here for 19 months and have learned spanish so she's gotta learn. I told her we could "teach her some english" but she said it was ok.
I have been daydreaming a lot about home and my thoughts wander to home often. Its super scary, happy, intimidating, and I know I will be ready to come home but I am terrified to do it at the same time. I won't get a nice hispanic dinner once a day and I am going to have to worry about school, bills, a car, finding a wife, a job, and I am going to have to try to have fun at the same time.
I love my mission though! I have changed a bunch! I think I am quite a bit cooler than before. I miss you all and I am pumped to have another week of work to do out here! Wish me luck!
