Exciting news. While I will be leaving Universal City,
(Awww. . . .) Elder Vergara will be training here in UC, and I will go co-train
with another missionary that I've never met (Yay! ! ! !). I'm excited to train
a new missionary. What if I trained Elder Aguila, my friend from home who moved
back to Guadalajara? What if Elder Vergara trained him? I'll be excited if I
even get to meet him. I won’t know
exactly where I’m going, nor who my companion will be until the actual transfer
day.
This last week was very un-eventful. I got sick. Really
sick. Tuesday afternoon after biking to and from Schertz, I came back to the
apartment with my companion to have dinner, ate and crashed. Wednesday we
crashed the entire day, went to go visit someone and crashed again. Thursday we
had a brilliant zone conference, and afterward we came back, I crashed some
more. Friday I crashed, we visited Tony and Staniel, and we crashed some more.
Saturday I was still exhausted, and we crashed even more.
Sunday we went to church, had dinner with a member, planned
for the week, and crashed even more. My ears have been fairly plugged, but I'm
beginning to recover. Thank you for all of your prayers. I've received many
blessings from my companion, and I'll be excited to recover again.
Our lesson with Tony and Staniel went very very well.
Staniel pointed out again that she hadn't known that Mormons were Christians.
Tony seems extremely engaged in comparison to how he looked like as we first
met him. They both made it to church a second time this Sunday, and they seemed
engaged as well. They got a spiritual overhaul on the importance of prayer,
since Sunday school and priesthood meetings were both focused on this.
Q & A
How’s your health
been?
Not very good. I'm getting better,
but this week has been a lot of tissues, medication, and rest. Not the best way
to send myself off after working in UC for so long, but I have no need to
worry.
What are fun things
you've been doing on your P-day?
I've played Frisbee golf, gone
shopping, played sports at the stake center, written letters, P-days aren't
really too remarkable, but they do do an awful lot to help to remove stress and
such.
Are you able to keep
your white shirts clean and pressed?
Probably not as well as I should,
but washing them from time to time and removing them from the dryer, as well as
soaking the shirts in the shower and hanging them over night helps to remove
wrinkles.
Of course, how are
all the people doing?
They are doing well. We tried to
meet with Richard, but he overslept when we invited him to tour the church.
That was a little frustrating. Ramon came to church again, and Brother Rios
made it as well. I'm going to miss all of these people. If I'm lucky, Elder
Vergara will get a baptism with one of them, and I'll get a picture of all of
them. The funny thing is, that I have a goal to teach 100 people that get
baptized during my time on the mission.
If your weather is
like it is here, I can't imagine you need your heavy coats and sweaters. But, how has it been?
Pretty good. The weather is
beginning to come back to heat.
How has the Spirit
guided you and Elder Vergara this week?
By telling us to stay in the
apartment and sleep. During one of the blessings of health that I received, he
said that this would be an opportunity to learn patience. And boy, did I ever!
What was your
happiest experience this week?
Seeing Tony and Staniel at church.
I have high hopes for them!
