Oh my goodness! lots of questions!

View from the apartment.

I am better today this past week I have felt home sick because it feels like my first week all over again! Because we're actually teaching actual lessons and its great but I realized that I don't know any of the lessons still... So I  was pretty under the weather because I honestly felt like I was wasting the Lord's time. But then today during my scripture study, well ok I fasted for something, I didn't know exactly what but I wanted to know why I'm here. But I was Reading and found a ton of good stuff. I started with one of my favorite scriptures in D&C 6:20? I think, it talks to Oliver Cowdery but I put my name in and its powerful! But later in that section is another fantastic scripture talking about building your foundation on the rock of Christ and there were like a million scriptures that linked to it and so I was marking my scriptures like crazy and it was really nice. It really helped because it lead me to find other scriptures and yea it was great.

Now my new companion is great... in the work. When we're at home he is different. I am patient with him but some stuff is annoying. Ok so his natural self is in easy terms a player, jokes around a lot... That being said he is a fantastic teacher and he wants me to be a better missionary, like actually talking and actually helping me with my Spanish and everything. Its just at home when he's annoying.  BUT this week we worked so much harder like I found out stuff about people I hadn't even known before and we have a ton of new investigators and yea its great! Oh our investigators name that completed the Book of Mormon in 2 weeks is Guillermo... haha good luck with that name. I'll tell you how to pronounce it on Sunday! The down side is he hasn't come to church yet.

OH yea in the back there is a big "vent" (hole) in the back room, I'll take a picture for next week. Oh and there is no brick... anywhere because its like all drywall and aluminum. Oh but our bathroom is concrete, probably because the drywall wouldn't hold up or I don't know but the construction here is very different.

Oh it has started raining and when it rained it was a good rain, kinda like Florida but Florida still has knarlier storms.

Oh a guy in my Ward here left for the Provo MTC today! He is going to Long Beach, and so I was able to talk to him last night before he got set apart and it was cool because I remember having those same exact feelings and yea it was fun!

Love ya,
