Hi mom!!
This week has been more anticlimactic than yours I promise. I feel like the week was super fast and wish that we could have used the time better. I am going to be staying with my companion Elder Otero another 6 weeks and I think I'll survive but it's gonna be rough. The first thing he said to me when he found out we didn't have changes is, "I know what you like and what you don't like and I'm going to make this the worst change you have ever had". It's rough but it's fine. I can tell he is truly trying to make good on what he said; this week has not been the most delightful for me. Almost every day is the same with him; him doing the opposite of what we should be doing and when I ask him what he wants to do he says it's my responsibility to make the decisions and then when I make a decision he fights me on it.... It's fun.
On another note though, this week we had a super awesome and productive lesson with one of the families we are teaching. They are all young people but they're super awesome!! Daniela is 20 years old and almost every time we have taught there she has brought us a new friend to teach; this week the friend she brought us is named Lessie and the lesson we had with Daniela, Lessie, Alejandra, and Victor was super awesome. We committed them to a baptism date for the 27 of August and we hope we can fulfill it!! We started teaching them 3 weeks ago and since the day we taught them they haven't missed out on any activities or Sunday meetings. I love them!!! Not to mention its super nice when your investigators bring you new investigators! I think if all of the people in the world would invite one friend to hear the message we bring after hearing it for themselves, the church would triple in size in just a year's time. Most of the days of the week we stop by their house to do a short 3 minute lesson and to see if they are reading The Book of Mormon. Almost every single time we go we have to give them a new assignment because they have already finished their last one. Its sad, I think they might read the Book Of Mormon faster than I do!! I mean I read it every day but they read it and answer the questions I leave them in the same amount of time I take just to read it. It's a pretty good sign if you ask me that you can see true interest.
Me on the other hand am doing fine. I could be happier but I'm doing the best I can with my situation. This Wednesday I'm going to start one of the last medical treatments necessary to be back to full health when I get home. I heard from the nurse that due to all of the antibiotics I'm going to be pretty tired for the next couple of weeks! It's gonna be interesting to see how the two things, my companion caused stress and the medicine caused tiredness, get along. All in all it's only 10 days of treatment so I'll be back to normal before I know it!
Thank you and dad for your examples to me and my brothers and sister. Congrats on your anniversary and thanks for being the best!
I love you mom. I hope you know that.
