Week 14: It hurt a bit but I was a good little misionero and kept walking

Well this week wasn’t anything too special. Nothing super exciting happened. It did however fly by. Can’t believe it’s already monday again. Pretty much all the days were mas o menos the same. This week we made a lot more progress with our investigators but pretty much we wake up, exercise, study, eat lunch and have citas.

Usually the ones with our investigators fall the first few times and then we finally get one on the third try. Thursday however was pretty fun. A lady in the ward needed help painting her house so we went over there and painted for a few hours. Then on friday we went to the mission bodega (garage-closet thing) to help the missionary couple organize things. There’s a new missionary couple that came this week and they’re pretty cool too. Its kinda nice to switch up the schedule a bit.  

I think I’m starting to get used to my comps now. It’s definitely still hard but again, being in a trio helps a lot. My gringo comp likes to talk a lot. A LOT. Our lessons go way too long and my latino comp never talks  and then gets mad when the lesson doesn’t go perfect. We don’t have a ton of chemistry rn but its coming. My g.c. is actually super nice and always tries to give me positive feedback and tells me my spanish is getting a lot better. I think it is. I don’t want to speak too soon but yesterday in church I noticed at the end of sacrament meeting that I understood pretty much everything they were saying. Obviously not all but I feel like it was the most progress I’ve had for 1 week.

Oh and I totally forgot about the superbowl. I forgot that it was last night until we were walking back to the casa and we passed by a restaurant where a caught a glimpse of some red, white, blue, and gold. It hurt a bit but I was a good little misionero and kept walking :´)

Yesterday I was reading in 3 nefi 27 where it talks about the name of the church and then I decided to read the talk by Russell M. Nelson about the name of the church. Straight fuego. I cringe so hard now everytime I hear or read the word mormon. Especially in in old mormon messages or just videos or magazines from the church from more than 6 months ago. It makes so much sense to me and I think it’s crazy how long it took for us to realize it. It says it so plainly in the scriptures. Anyway that’s it from me for this week.
