Hey guys,
Like I mentioned last week, changes happened and I'm still
in the same area, but with ELDER DIAZ from Argentina .
Its been pretty lit. He's pretty chill. But the last week its been
discouraging because our investigators with a baptism date all seemed
to disappear. We couldn't get a hold of them for one reason or another. In
one of the families we teach, their grandma is really sick, so its been
impossible to find them because they're always visiting her. Which I
understand, but they missed their baptism date because of this unfortunate news.
The other family just disappeared and blocked our number. A few people actually
blocked our number who we THOUGHT had potential, but that happens. More often
than I had hoped. We'll keep trying.
Its been pretty nice not falling back on my English with my
new comp. Exactly what I need to get pushed further and now I don't even notice
that I'm speaking another language anymore, it's pretty cool. I've even had
dreams in Spanish now. My companion confuses me sometimes though because he'll
use Argentinian slang, but he's pretty cool and he's teaching me some stuff.
I'm trying to teach Elder Diaz English slang, but he doesn't really understand.
He only knows like two works: crap and gangster. So he'll use those words in
weird context and it's pretty funny. One of my biggest worries coming on
my mission was learning a new language. and I'm feeling pretty confident
about now even though I'm learning more every day.
We found these kids who happened to be a member reference,
and each time we visit them they want to play chess and we also play around
with their kittens. So that's definitely a win. But this week just consisted of
searching for new people because our others disappeared. So other than that,
not much happened. Next week I hope to write a more eventful email. Maybe with
some actual baptism on the horizon.
