San Vicente
Well, it happened again--the internet somehow just went out in an internet café. Hmmmm it’s weird how that happens . . .
Anyway, I wrote a whole big letter and answered all your questions but this is basically what you need to know. Yes, we had changes and they brought to the table something quite interesting. My comp went to another part of the mission and I received a new comp, Elder Cruz. But....... they moved me up to senior comp!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? He has 4 months here in the mission and is 25 years old and is very mature and will help me a lot. But senior comp already??? I only have six months and I still don’t understand half of what the people are saying to me and I feel like I can’t teach the lessons that well and I just have so much stuff to work on. I feel so incapable of this position . . . but for some reason the Lord wants me here and I know that with him I will be able to do everything. He is with me in this work and I am not alone. This will be a big test of my faith, because I will need to learn to rely so much more on the Spirit than ever before. I have to plan what we do every minute of the day; what lessons we will teach, and so many things are going through my mind. I know I am a quiet person and a lot of times don’t know what to say to certain people but I know that if I am obedient I will know what to say in those moments. I don’t know, we will see how this week goes. I am sure I will be fine, but please pray for me and my comp and my area so we find new people, the people that are ready to hear this gospel. Ya, that’s the low down, it’s pretty crazy.
Anyway, I love you so much and thank you for all of your support. Keep me updated on the temple with Anna and Megs' wedding and Jess and b-ball and Mike and just everything . . . Love you all.
