Interesting Week

Hey Everyone,

It certainly has been an interesting week. We have been busy and not so busy all at the same time. It´s kind of weird, but not too bad.

I´ve been able to speak more during our lessons. I still don´t understand a whole lot, but I´ve at least have been able to speak more. I have picked up more words from the Natives, I just sometimes miss key points in their talking. That´s why we have Companions though. They are there to help and to try and help us do our best.

Well on Thurs. night we got to go and spend a night over at the Hospital. Hermana Boyer was not feeling well and everyone was telling her to go to the doctor so we did...at 11 pm. We didn´t get back until 2 am and we didn´t fully know what was wrong. We decided to go to the doctor again to see if we can get a more clear diagnoisis. I was instead transfered for the day.

The transfer was fun. It was in a different area taht was certainly more like a big city feel. It was kind of nice to be in the city. I ended up meeting a woman that goes to Houston 2-3 times a year to visit her Sister, who is unfortunately sick with cancer. It was nice to hear her story though and to listen to it in English. She is a great lady. We shared with her Elder Bednar´s talk from General Conference. I think it´s called "Our Burdens Become Lighter" or something like that. It´s a really good read if you ever feel like you have a lot of burdens on you.

When I returned back to my area, I found out that my companion has some sort of bug in her stomach. She is doing fine. She just has to rest for 5 days and take a lot of medicine. I also got to join in on being sick. Apparently Mole is not on the menu for newbies. Unfortunately, the people I was with on Friday, including the District Leader, thought that it would be fine if I ate it. The answer is no. So, for my fellow missionaries in Mexico. Watch out for Mole. It tastes ok, but you will not feel good afterwards until you have learned to stomach it.

We do have one family in my area that is both a dread to teach and exciting to teach. They are a family that asks a lot of questions. They are good questions, but sometimes they are really hard to answer (especially with the knowledge that they have about the gospel). We have finally decided that we have to have a member with us when we go and teach them. We picked the Ward Mission Leader. He is a little young for them, he is only about 25-28, but he is full of wisdom and knowledge and I look forward to working with him, particularly with this family.

Sorry that there are no pictures this week. I don´t know when the next time I´ll take a picture is, but I´ll certainly share it when I have one. Hope you all are doing well.
