Man sounds chilly... It's starting to cool down here too. I bought a jacket the other day I can wear with my stuff so yeah! I'm super excited for it to get cold finally.
This past week has been kinda meh. Not sure what to say about it actually. Nothing really interesting. We have reactivated a family though which is nice but our investigators are just lazy and not very good. We just try to go by whoever we can in the area. I need confidence is really what it comes down to. I need to have the confidence to do things. I can communicate now what I need to say in Spanish and I understand just about everything when it comes to like conversation stuff but I am just not confident in myself. Something I think I've always had a hard time with. We eat dinner here at members homes a lot. Just about every night. I feel bad for the members though because we come in a group of two companionship's and a lot of the times 2 times or more a week. It seems a lot to put on them and I try to help them out but there's not much I can do. There's a lot of ghetto sketchy apartments and houses. It's pretty mixed up. The apartments don't go too high though like 3rd floor is a typical height. My companion is good. He's been teaching me patience... I'll just leave it at that. He's also not the most obedient so I try to work on that. I think that's how I'll improve is that with every companion I have whatever they have like wrong I guess with them I'll personally work on it to improve in myself. It's like the talk from the last general conference from president Uchtdorf. The 'Lord is it I' thing. So whenever I think something like that I just think that thing and work on it. Anyway we get along good. I'm smart with my money so I'm super just fine with money. I have extra stored up on the card. Today I didn't even need to go shopping too so yeah I'm just fine with money. On Sundays, we just do normal church stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary. They have sacrament meeting last here in the branch. We go talk to people but I am really trying to get my companion to go knocking because it works, it's just dealing with rejection too. When we knock on doors we contact in Spanish if they speak Spanish or have a picture of the virgin Mary or something. If not then English but usually we can pick out the Spanish people. I am going to start trying to speak in Spanish every day outside of the apartment or something like that.
Anyway so this week the biggest coolest thing that happened was that I got a hat. It's a straw hat though which is pretty cool. We did service for this lady who is about 2000 years old and helped her move out of her house and she gave me the hat because I was wearing it. It was super nice of her and I love the hat too. :) So yeah that's about it for this week! Sorry pretty boring but it's good. I love my mission so much! It's been a struggle a lot but I can tell that it's always worth it.
Love you! Have a good week!
