Well this was an interesting week.
We had the christmas conference and transfers wednesday. It was really cool
to see all my buddies from the CTM. Elder Carter my CTM comp, is doing really
good! I talked with one kid though that was reassigned with me and came here
with me, and it sounded like hes been goin through hell...i felt so bad for him,
i was really humbled and thankful for how things have been going for me. The
meeting, talent show and dinner went really well, but we didnt get back home
until like 12 or 1. ha...little past 9:30. But my new comp is a BRAZILLIAN!
hes really cool and calm. The other two in the house are americans, one of
them is pretty cool. ha. But I have been a little overwhlemed, i felt like they
left the area in my hands, i have had to guide us to the lunches, and i havent
gotten completely lost yet so thats good.
My new comp basically had me plan and direct us the first few days and i
still am doing alot, I dont like being in charge like this. Ha. especiall when
i dont know what im doing. Ive been really worried that im screwing up and we
area losing the people we had because we havent met with them. because they
arent there or dont answer. But we have three baptisms this week, this guy is
awesome! he has two sons we are baptizing as well. This guy has so much faith!
he is so elect! Im really excited. One little problem is he leaves far away
and we have to take the bus, and we only have a couple more days of bus money
left. And we dont get paid for two weeks... idk what we are going to do! we
have recieved some lunch money which will help us with bus money, but im excited
to see how the Lord makes this turn out. Its kinda interesting when we dont have
the means to accomplish something the lord wants us to, that is when milagres
happen!
We had another milagre yesterday. One girl in the ward taught her three
cousins the lessons and two were at church, the other one couldnt cause she has
a foot problem but the others came up to my comp and told him they wanted to be
baptized...so we have two more baptisms. ha. that was pretty cool. we will meet
with their family today to see where they are at. Alot is going on, we still
dont know where we are having skype and stuff, and their are all looking to me
to know where everything is and whats is happening.. its nuts. But i will call
with skype probably between 1 and 6 or 7 here. And we are 6 hours ahead of you
guys.
The family of the kid that we baptized didnt go to church, we passed by
after waking up at like 5 and trekking all the way there and we woke them up and
they were all awake, and she said the arent going, she wasnt mad but she said
they couldnt go,, i tried to talk to her for like 15 20 min but it didnt
work...i was sooooo frsutrated!
I started emailng cam! or Elder McRae. So thats sweet, he told me he cried
when he got my email. ha. i miss that dude. But he is doing really good, he
said hes basically fluent already.
Happy Birthday Caleb!!!
