Week 2 in the Land Without Cold

Okay time for the second week here. 

Since the elections here are going on (they actually happened yesterday) this past week and this week we have to return to our apartments by 7:30 at night instead of the normal 9 or 9:30. So that was different but kind of nice. 

We spend the time like normal throughout the week, going and teaching lessons, visiting members, and less active people. So not much new going on here. On Friday I went on exchanges with an elder Menezes and went over to his area while Elder Najera came over here with elder López. 

Elder Menezes has been here for 2 months, and is from Brazil. 

So went over there with him, but it was actually nice, because we managed to have full on conversations. Since Spanish was neither of our first languages, it was really cool. So it helped a lot. Then Fast Sunday. It wasn't that hard for me, because here I really don't get hungry. People constantly want to feed me, but honesty having lunch I don't get hungry till lunch the next day. The hard part was no liquids. Since we drink so much water and Soda here. It was difficult. 

I guess for random things that have happened. I've been teaching my companion (from Hondurus) random English phrases like What's shakin' bacon. And things of that sort. And am trying to talk more. It's a bit hard because I sort of space out and my mind wanders. Since I don't know what's going on that's why my mind just sort of wanders. But then it makes it even harder to get what's happening. So yeah. 

But I am starting to get used to the heat and humidity, so that's a plus. I just need to remember that the lord has a plan for each of us, and even though this has probably been the most difficult thing that I've had to do, many others have been able to do it to, and I can too with His help.
