News for the moment -
We´ll hopefully be having the
baptism for a young 10 year old. His parents are finally
thinking about letting him. The mom already said yes, but the dad is
still a bit worried. They´re good people.
We finally got a hold of an investigator that disappeared. She
moved back in with her pareja, so... we don´t know what she´s going to
do. She was ready to be baptized, but since she moved back in with the
guy she can´t get baptized unless she moves out until she´s married.
Convive-ing here is a pain. Everyone does it because the marriage laws
are so difficult and slow. There´s a law that you have to wait 9 months
before you can get married again after a divorce just in case there was a
pregnancy. It´s rough because a lot of your golden investigators who
are ready to be baptized have to wait a long time. . .
My companion is no longer with me. He should be on a
plane by now going home. I´m working with the other elder from the ward
in both sectors. It´s a huge area and a wonder how they did it like
this before. It was just 5 months ago that they received the second
pair of missionaries here.
Anyway, I gotta get out of here. I took too long with letters to the mission president and everything. Love you all.
Here´s
part of it. Can´t put the rest because there are too many names of the
people and we´re not advised to put them in emails.
Estoy
bien. Ésta semana era muy rara, porque habían muchas cosas nuevas como
mi compañero saliendo y todo de eso. Fue una experiencia buena, pero
siempre es algo triste cuando cambie. Estoy muy agradecido por poder
trabajar con Élder V. Me enseñó mucho. Con el trabajo, yo estoy
progresando en mi confianza y no preocuparme de cosas que no sean
importantes. Estoy aprendiendo más de ser un líder en algunas formas y
que yo tengo que hablar más con mi compañero en cada momento. Me cuesta
hacer ´small talk´ y cosas así, pero estoy aprendiendo. También este
tiempo ahora que Elder O y yo estamos trabajando en las dos áreas, estoy
aprendiendo cosas que no probablemente podría en alguna otra manera a
este punto de la misión.
