Buenas!
Up
until now, I was just an uncle to Elder P (the grandson
of my trainer Elder P (who finished his mission this
change..."RIP"), the son of my "brother" Elder M). The time has
come, however, to have a child of my own. In other words, I´m training.
We had changes this past Wednesday. I was expecting one more change with Elder C, but he got sent as comp mayor to F and I´m staying here.
Elder
G is my "hijo" en la misión. He´s from Chiapas México. He´s 23
and already graduated from the university with a degree in
communications. It was a little hectic getting to changes. The Zone
Leaders told us to leave by 6:30,
but we left even earlier just in case. However, the first mini-bus that
came had literally no room and my comp´s suitcases didn´t fit so we had
to wait for the next one that didn´t come until 7:00.
The worst part was later after la puente de río chamalecon until a
little before la terminal de buses. There was a little "choque" because
of the rain and the traffic was horrible. It took us nearly 2 hours to
move 4-5 km...we were late to the training meeting. Others who had left
after us got there earlier because they were able to take a different
route through chamalecon but by that time we were already in the middle
of everything and the "only way out was through" which took forever. Oh
well.
Training
is fun but it´s a little tough sometimes. It´s different than just
being comp mayor because they aren´t totally comfortable with teaching
the lessons, but he´s improving and getting more comfortable with
contacting as well. It was a little tough to teach because of
gradutation parties...students are finishing up school in December
instead of May-June as in the states. Many were busy and didn´t have
time for us to teach. Many citas fell again this past week and
contacting was a little tough, but the beat goes on. We set a baptismal
date for the 27th of December
for our investigator K. She is 26 and has 2 kids. She lives with
her mom who is a member. Her husband, a gringo believe it or not, died a
couple years ago in a car accident. She is pretty excited and her mom
is helping a lot. She is about 90% solid to get baptized on this date,
but as always, problems will surely come. We will keep working
nevertheless. Several other experiences, some good contacts, dedicating a
house with several referencias, but setting the fecha was the highlight
of the week.
We
did a deep clean of the casa for P-day today. It´s always nice to have
clean living quarters. Easier to come home to after a long day, easier
to relax, and easier to feel the spirit for sure.
I´ll end with a quote that I saw last night while we were eating dinner with la Familia G. Have a good week everyone!
