Hola mama! How are you? Can you tell everyone sorry for me but I’m having technical issues and won’t be able to reply to anyone else this week. Things are going good with my companion in our new area. He is super nice and likes to walk fast so that helps me lose weight, unwillingly…. hahaha. Yeah I’ve lost a ton of weight here. I don’t know how much because no one has a scale but my pants and shirts are big on me.
Before we left our last area on Monday we would get messages or phone calls from members telling us how grateful they were for us being in the ward and helping them. That ward did have its’ difficulties but overall it was an awesome ward. And my companion was difficult to be with sometimes but overall he is an awesome Elder. He taught me a lot; and if I remember and apply his council, his good works, I know that I will be a great missionary and will help many people.
The morning we left Tepalcapa we went and met with the Tapia family to say goodbye and they were awesome enough to buy us breakfast and give us both a going away present. When we got to the mission office we found out that Elder Rojas is actually staying there for now in a trio with the other two elders. There are quite a few other elders in trios this time. Any who, I met my new companion, Elder Aguilar who is from Santiago Chile and he is super chill. We took a taxi to our area which cost $600 pesos and about an hour and a half of traveling. The office paid the pesos and I didn’t really mind the drive because we drove through the mountains. It was super awesome and beautiful. There are tons of super green trees and fresh air.
When we finally got to the town, it is super cool as well. Our casa is pretty nice. It’s smaller than the other casa but really it’s the perfect size for 2 people. After I dropped my stuff off there, we went and visited a few investigators that they have here and a couple member families so I could get to know them a little bit. We had a couple other lessons that went pretty well too. I feel really good being in this area. I know for the first couple of weeks I’m going to be introducing myself and trying to get to know people, the investigators and members and adapt to the cooler temperature. I’m excited to be here. Oh and I also found out that Elder Martinez, my first trainer, is the District Leader for our area.
Sorry I was only able to send a few of my pictures, but I have to go now. I love you though! Have a great week!
For the pictures: the crepe had Nutella and bananas with a piece of cheesecake on top with ice cream and chocolate and strawberry sauce. It was sooo good! but it was a crap ton of sugar. It was worth it one time haha.
