Week #3

The Refuerzos and the Trainers back to the Mission Offices for a Monday Conference

Alrighty....I  love it here. But I honestly cant give a great reason why. I just do! It's a weird feeling. Kind of like having a testimony. I don't know how I got it, or when, but I have it and I know I have it. Hope that makes sense. I guess part of it right now is just how interesting it is and how different it is from the states. There are pretty much no laws here because the police don't do anything about them. So there is trash seriously filling the streets in some places. And I said that's interesting....not something that makes me happy haha.

Anyway, this past week was fun.  As for interesting things this week....saw my first lady breastfeeding in public the other day....that was super weird and totally different from the states. Wasn't expecting it at all. Took my first train today which was uneventful....and that was pretty much it for this past week.

The language is going ok. I can understand a lot now. The finer points of the conversation is what I lack right now, and speaking is coming along but not as fast as I would like. My comp says that I am better than most newbies but I'm not sure. Slowly but surely I will get there.

As far as the work...it is slow. our area is at a lack of investigators right now and we are trying to find more, but that is the thing that my comp hates doing the most, so he doesn't like to do it. The only lady we have close to baptism is a woman who is about 70 named Carmen. She is an amazing lady, has a testimony, and knows its true, but just cant go to church right now because she is working in Capital, so we're at a stand still with her unfortunately. But I know she will get baptized soon so I'm holding out! Not sure what else to say so I'll sign off saying this is the true church and I know this is where I should be and there are people here waiting for me to find them. Wouldn't do anything else right now in my life! Love you all and can't wait to hear from some of you....(hint hint)

Cuidense, Elder Wells

Oh! and a member gave us peanut butter that was a real treat! Loved that!

Oh and yes it has been 100 degrees today as well....super hot,I am sweating like crazy....but I can handle it. I got a bit burnt this past Saturday but I'm good.

Questions from mom;

Do you speak Spanish with your comp all day long? no....its too hard to get everything done right now

What do you know about the campos ? not a whole lot....just that its like farmland
Have you met your zone leaders? On the blog it says they are elders Foster and Weiss.  Yep that's right, we met them at a district meeting last week it seems like they are both cool guys.
