Wow what a week, there has been so many changes this past week I don't
think I will be able to get them all in at once. So Tuesday we went to
the chapel were we have transfers. We managed to get a ride there, but
not on the way back. On the way there the Assistants called me and
told me that I WOULD START TRAINING! I was shocked, I went there
without my suit coat because I didn't know I would train so I showed
up without a suit coat so they lent me a big one for me to use haha.
Also I found out that we were going to switch houses that exact moment
so I didn't pack my bags or anything and didn’t have a lot of time to clean the last house.
So I show up and saw my companion get transferred and I had to go to
the mission office to pick up my new companion. I was kind of hopping to
train a Brazilian, but to my surprise I got an American haha. His name
is Elder Blackford from Bainbridge Island near my home town. He is 19 and has 3 younger sisters.
He is pretty crazy, but I like it because I am getting pretty
crazy as well my time in this area so we are getting along just fine.
I never thought the day would come that I would forget how to speak
English, but it came and went. My first day with Elder Blackford was
really hard because it has been a long time since I have spoken
English and so I was asking him how to say stuff in English and he
didn't understand my Português so we were in a pickle for a few hours
until I got my English back in shape.
Also I planned that another couple of missionaries would come to our
new house, but the president sent two sisters so they had to stay in
our old house. The moving truck put their stuff in the wrong house so
I had to do a blitz and trade all the stuff at night. It was super
stressful, but we got it done and my poor companion had no idea what
was going on haha.
To get to our area was super hard because we live super far away from
the mission office and Elder Blackford had two big suitcases to carry
around. So we took a bus with the new sisters to our area, then a
train(which was super packed, worse then the clips on YouTube) and
then we took one more bus super packed. So after all this we managed
to go to our house and nothing was organized and we didn't have a
shower head so we took a bath with a sponge that I bought and some
water haha and we don't have a dresser so we are also living out of
our suit cases. SO it was defiantly an experience for my poor
companion haha. He is good now he has a good attitude and he is ruffing
it with me.
I defiantly have a lot more responsibilities now and I have to give a
perfect example to my companion because I want him to be a better
missionary than me. The other day I let him mark someone for baptism
and she accepted haha. It has been a super stressful but a fun week.
Also I am loving my package I LOVE YOU TOO, I am eating the recess
every day and I have shared them with a few people in our ward and they
loved it. Yesterday Sandoval received the Holy Ghost and received the
Priesthood. It was a great week. My next planner has a picture of me that I took
were I am standing on top of a mountain and I put a tab that says 1 Year!So this
week I will defiantly buy pizza with my companion and show him what a pizza really taste like.
Yea dad you should give up B Ball, but keep up the ATV because I want to go riding
with you when I get home haha. That's cool that everyone is living
close to home now. How old is Ella now? She is getting pretty big haha
It is crazy how fast time is flying by now.
If I blink one more time I will already be home haha.
The mission is awesome and I am super happy here, even though it is super hard, it is super worth it!
We have a few more baptisms next month so keep up the prayers so that
we can overcome the challenges that everyone faces before baptism. I
hope you like the picture that our president found haha its pretty
epic. Love you all so much and I am excited to hear your emails next
week! LOVE YOU and happy valentines day!
