We went in
the cyber just now and, in my mind, I thought we had one and a half hours (as usual)
but he started freaking out and telling me I had to call all these people first
so I did. When I got back on the computer I started reading your letters. He
freaked out again and said that reading letters is a waste of writing time and
that I should print them off cause, as of now, I only have 30 minutes of
writing time. I’m about to explode cause I love my reading and writing time on p-days.
I’m sorry
but this guy seems he is just out for total perfection
and numbers. He doesn’t like my teaching methods all that much and stresses me
out about the language. I just don’t get him. He’s cool sometimes but I just don’t
know what to do. He gets really mad about the littlest things and it’s just
getting super difficult. He wants me to get rid of all my English materials and
only use Spanish stuff cause "that’s the only way you’re gonna learn this
language.”
I was
totally at peace until about a half an hour ago but now I’m a bit of a wreck. I
really need some advice on what to do. I’m trying to pray to feel better but
this week I got super homesick and got very worried about all of the responsibility
and the possibility of failure. I really don’t know what to do. I pray and pray
and but I’m just at a loss—advice? Advice on learning the language, not getting
homesick, and getting along with a new comp would be of great help.
Sorry, I’m just feeling a little bit frazzled as of now. Is this just normal
mission puberty? Like really, is this just a little trial or something? In
spite of feeling a little bit stressed, this week was, for the most part, good.
I got you
guys’ package full of gushers and strawberry breakfast and the scripture cases.
Thank you ever so much! I love you guys so much. We also had a baptism this
week! It was Esteban. He’s a kid we’ve been teaching for awhile and he finally
decided to take the plunge. It was very hectic
to try to get his baptism scheduled but we got it done none-the-less. It was
very nice, a youth in the ward baptized him. It was a great and very spiritual
event. We hope we can baptize Maxi and Noelle next week! Sorry there’s not a
ton of detail on that but next week I’ll fill anymore questions you guys have
on it for sure. It’s just that now I have no time to type. We had a pretty good
week. Teaching wise. It was very nice so there is that. Sorry this is a lame
letter I’m just, again, typing on no time.
Now, onto the questions.
Who is the
new Elder in your pench?
-
Elder Habel!
He’s from
How’s the
other Elder in your pench?
-
Elder Mori?
Yes, he is such a happy, good little guy.
-
I talked to
him a little last week on the phone but not for long. Hopefully we can talk soon, though.
- Today was perfect for long-sleeves! It’s ideal weather outside and I hope it stays like this.
How are you
getting on with your new comp?
-
Other than
having a few little anxieties, everything else is good.
-
Yes! We
have about 3 we hope we can get baptized in this next little while.
-
Yeah, a
little bit. I’m making phone calls a ton now and going on divisions.
-
Well, we
are talking with this one lady who just really wants to find happiness in her
life. She has a little girl and just wants to be happy. I bore her my testimony
that happiness is found in the gospel and through it she can always be happy. I think she is a potential baptism candidate.
-
I was gonna
share a good long story but since I have no time, I’ll tell you one other thing
that happened this week. I got splashed by a bus that went through a mud
puddle—classic, right? It was straight out of the movies. I actually didn’t
mind it at all (and I’m not being sarcastic).
Con Amor,
Russ
