I am doing
great this week! It went by so stinkin’ fast! I've been super busy this week
and have had so much fun teaching and learning the language.
My Spanish is
coming along great and I love the people here. Los Latinos son incredible y me encanta
hablar con ellos. They have such
a sweet spirit and love talking to all the gringos ;)
I'm feeling
really good now. The day after i wrote yáll last week I woke up with tonsillitis
and rhinitis. It sucked...but I feel a lot better now. A nasty stomach bug is
going around here and tons of missionaries are down with it. I've been making
sure to wash my hands a bunch and use lots and lots of hand sanitizer. Está
bien.
This week I
learned a lot about patience. Elder Andrew's is a great guy and wants to do
good, but he doesn't always want to work or study or doing any of the above. It
was hard because I was in such a go go go attitude and it felt like it was
dragging the whole time. Our lessons with the investigators went well but I
feel it could have gone better. He's a good guy and I love him, I just want him
to want to do better. I know he can.
So the
funniest thing that happened this week was when Elder Haymore and Elder Coulotta
went to teach our investigator and they were teaching about the prophet. He
tells him: Alejandro, it is very important in our day to follow the prophet. So
all of a sudden he takes out his phone while they are still talking to him and
then he says: look! He had pulled up Pres. Monson's twitter page and said he
would "follow'' the prophet. jajaja It was ridiculous.
Elder
Coulotta has made a big impact on me this week. He has shown me what a great
example of a missionary was and how to be the best you can be. I asked him to
give me a blessing when I got sick and he was kind of taken back because he had
never given a blessing before. He and his companion both helped with it and all
the others stood around and helped. It was a really cool experience.
I love this work! I love you so much and I am so glad to
be able to get your letters! I hope you have a great week this week and I will
talk to you next Tuesday!!
