1. I am doing better but I still am not 100% yet! But I am getting there! Just a matter of time!
2. So, yeah, Elder Squire got transferred and I got a new companeiro el nombre is Elder Fuentes de Ecuador y is hoven mismo de mi. Oh, his name is Elder Fuentes and he is from Ecuador. He speaks English. And yeah, I am still in Juan Eugelio, which is crazy. We thought we were closing the area and so we literally contacted everyone. I have no idea what to do about that but I have to do something because this is Elder Fuentes' first cambio. This is my first so we are both figuring this out. We are each others 2nd companion. He only has 6 more weeks in the mission than me. That is crazy. We are now the most rancho area in our mission and people are freaking out that two 'New Guys' are there. I know the area by now and I know where not to go. It is gonna be great! I am hoping that a new companion will have ideas on how to get into doors. That is kinda our hope right now because we really did contact our whole area, well, where we are safe to contact. It may be possible to go some more places now. We'll see how it goes but I am excited! YAAAAA LET'S DO ITTT, BOOOOYAAAA!!!
3. Today is crazy, in our house we have no food or water but we are running to the store after we write. It'll be great! But we have to carry his malitas (I don't remember the word for the things that you carry all your stuff in) (*Suitcases) all over and they are like 70 pounds each. Ya, it is starting to get great, just from this I'll be huge when I get home. Just need cambios every six weeks, lol.
4. So this week and last week me and Squire were working insane hours and just never had a break. We worked the snot out of our area and don't have much to show for it. About halfway through this last week we sat down and we were trying to think of ways to help our area. What we came up with was, well, nada. We decided that we would just continue for the end and see what happened from it. It's crazy because we started to do things and talked to people all the time. To be honest, I got my heart crushed a few times. People just know they feel the truthfulness but are too lazy to do anything about it. I tell everyone now 'When you feel a burning in your heart DO SOMETHING!' People here don't do anything and I catch a glimpse into how Nephi felt every once in a while. I have felt sorrow and pain and I have seen lives collapse after refusing the gospel, I have felt the Spirit work through me to go to them and show them we are always there for them. We have had a powerful family just leave our branch. It hurts seeing them. The thing is, the wife is still coming and bringing the youngest two kids. The husband has fallen into drinking and abuse. They are now living in different homes and the oldest son is with his father. It has torn the family apart and the worst thing is the fact that the father is just sick all of the time. It is like in the scriptures where someone who has a testimony and then falls away, bad things happen. We are watching these things happen and it is destroying the hope of the branch. They were 5 out of 50, so we lost a huge chunk of our branch. And he was our 2nd Counselor in our Elders Quarm, so we just lost like 10% of our priesthood. It hurts to see, yet our branch is holding together and we are sharing a lot of inspiration with them right now and helping a lot! It is hard but from the winter snow comes the most beautiful flowers. We have worked through hard times and will continue until we see the fruits of our labor bloom!
