December 5th - 12th

Monday: Okay so after the writing everyone last week, it was an okay day. Elder Lund and Alfaro got papusa and a hot dog each, but I wasn't hungry. And then we went to our house, and are now getting ready for bed. So yeah, we'll see how this all works out. I think I'll get along with him (my new companion). I just know I need to work hard as well, because he seems like the type of person who likes to work hard and I don't mind that. I hear the time goes by faster when we go faster.

Tuesday! Flip I forgot to write today because we had so much going on. I like my new companion, and yeah it's a lot of work, but it's nice. One thing I don't like though is since he doesn't know the area - I have to plan for the day, and it's hard, since you need to think of "Hey who do we already have appointments with? Who is nearby, and where they are." And then of course many of them aren't there, so we either have to find different people, or stay extra long at certain places. But as for a person I like him a lot. And he can speak a lot of English, so that's nice. We usually speak mostly in Spanish because I need that more, but it's amazing to be able to ask a question in English, and he will mostly understand. So we went around today and visited a lot of different families, both members, and investigators. I just wish we had more investigators in Reparto Schick (where our apartment is) because most of them are in Villa Cuba, which is pretty far away by walking. Then we got dinner and came back. I like how I can actually have conversations with him. I started having some with Elder Lopez, but I didn't have all too many. Though it's a whole lot more talking with Elder Alfaro, so I like it.


Wednesday! Okay so more or less today we had the reunion de districto again, so we went to the chapel. And tomorrow we have a multi zone meeting, but it is at our stake center, so I like it much! Flip I'm starting to write in English mismo flip close to Spanish. Me Gusta Mucho, more or less is I like it much. Anyways, more work today, I didn't really get lost, I just didn't know where this one family lived, so we did some exploring and found them. And we had 2 dinners again. One with Pidul and one with Judith. ANd now right before bed it's time to write.

Thursday! Freak Tengo freaken sueño. Oh well. So today we had a multi zone meeting, so we had a 70 speak at that, and I got to see Elder Price again, so that was sweet! And then afterwards we worked hard with Elder Alfaro, and right now I'm about to fall asleep while typing. So goodnight everyone.

Friday: Okay today well it felt long as fetch, but hey we got someone on date. Though I think it was so long because not many people were home so we walked around a whole lot and a lot of thinking, okay who next...they weren't home too, next, nope. So yeah. Oh well, but I am flippin tired too. So goodnight everyone, yet again.

Saturday: Okay okay okay okay. Okay 5 okays...er 6 now is enough. Today we planned for the week like we are supposed to do on Thursday, but since we had the meeting with the 70 on Thursday, we did it today. Then lunch, then working, and after 2 dinners I am ready for bed. Anyways The church is true, Jesus is always the answer, and things of that sort. Amen.

Sunday! So today nice and early at 5.30am we got up like usual on a Sunday. And man I hate it so early, but we need to bring people. Then after walking around for over an hour telling people they need to go to church and waking people up...I know the glamours life of a missionary. We had church, then did our usual, we went out with members, and had dinner, and now we are headed to the house of the Zone Leaders for the night, I don't know exactly why but I guess I'll find out.

Random Things:
1. I started doing Yoga in bed. 
2. On Tuesday when we went to drop Elder Lund off at the stake center, after we finished our bus ride we got a text saying it was at the other stake center and they gave us the address, so we hailed a taxi and told him where...It was our stake center. So we payed 60 cordobas to save about 2 minutes of walking from our bus station. Freak malo.
3. So on the morning of Friday we were talking about what we learned in our personal study with our district over a call, and when it was my turn to share, I shared a bit about various gifts of the spirit, namely el don del lenguas (Aka the Gift of Tongues). Though I said. Yo Quiero mucho lenguas. Lenguas de vaca, lenguas de cabra, etc. IN English I said: Oh I want many tongues (like many languages.) But then turned it around to be like I want the tongue of a cow and a goat's tongue.
