Week 6 - Through the first transfer - but I'm staying put!




Hello,


This week was the last week In my first transfer. I'm not going anywhere or getting a new companion cause I'm still being trained. That's alright though, I'm excited for the second and to no longer be one of the newest missionaries out here. This week was a good one. We had some good experiences. We helped an old lady with a fetch ton of yard work but it was kinda cool cause mowing her lawn almost brought back memories from Metro. Then we were able to help set up for our ward Halloween party which I didn't even get to go to because we had to go to a baptism in another zone. My comp was teaching a lady that decided to get baptized. I'm sad I missed the party but it's probably good I got to see a baptism this early and be a part of a confirmation. Oh well.


Also this week we got to do an exchange with the Spanish elders and it was crazy going to all the Spanish lessons and listening to them teach. I really didn't understand much but I was able to feel the Spirit very strongly. One family fed us and I was able to get some real life chile reanos or however you spell it. Idk I'm very white lol. I was able to celebrate my first Halloween on the mish, and it was pretty cool I guess. Kinda felt like just another day, but we did a car wash that day and we had a ton of cars come through. We ended up staying for like 3.5 hours to help out and it was awesome. I really enjoyed it actually. We were fed a lot this week which was really awesome and we really had a great time with all our members. It's nice to have such a great ward.


Anyways I'm glad things have been picking up. I'm actually learning a ton each day so that makes me really happy. I love learning about the church and all that I didn't know before. I feel like I'm able to sense questions now and accurately testify of the truthfulness and power of the gospel that we are so blessed to have in our lives. It's so crazy to me that I've made it through one whole transfer already. I'm excited to see what's to come!! Love you all.
