¡Cambios, Cambios,
Cambios!
After 4 ½ months of
being companions with Elder Atencio, he has been transferred to Arequipa to an
area called Zomacola, and I will be training!!! I am so excited, happy, sad, anxious, nervous,
and all that good stuff. For those of
you who are unfamiliar with the word “training”, it means that I will be training a brand new Elder
and will be welcoming him to the mission. We will be companions for a minimum of three
months and I am so excited!
In a couple of hours I
will take a 3 hour bus ride to Arequipa, where I will spend the night in the
mission house, and then Tuesday morning I will meet my new companion! I do not know if he is a Latino or if he is a
Gringo, I do not know what to expect over these next three months but what I do
know is:
That the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the
thing which he commandeth them.
(1st Nephi 3:7)
The Lord will provide
the way. He loves us. And I am happy to have the opportunity to
train.
Speaking of far from
perfect Spanish the “Mess up of the week” is.... as I was trying to describe
raw vegetables to my pentionista, when attempting to say the word “raw” in Spanish
I accidently said a bad word.... she laughed, Elder Atencio laughed, and I was clueless….
oh how I love Spanish.
This week will be fun and
this week will be great!! Being a
missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is the hardest
thing I have EVER loved to do.
Chao till next week
