Hey mom dad and everyone,
You have no idea how ready I am to get home. So on Monday my
comp had to go to Tegus to get his residency so I stayed in Choluteca with a
missionary named Elder Bruce. He is really cool. He is from Orville Cali. So we
ended up having to leave Sunday afternoon to be in Cholu so my comp could go to
Tegus. And they didn’t get back to till Tuesday in the morning. And we didn’t have
to be in Triunfo till the afternoon on Tuesday. So what we did is we did
divisions so my comp could write his family and I went and said goodbye to
everyone that I could. Even if it was for just a little bit of time. It was
really bittersweet.
So my comp was put to train this change, so we had to be in
the city at 9 in the morning and we had the alarm set for 3am. But we woke up
late at 6am. And then we didn’t leave Triunfo till 7am and man it was just a
huge mess. The bus broke down on us about an hour and a half from the city and
we luckily caught another. We didn’t get to the change chapel until like 1230.
So we got everything arranged so my comp could go back to the south cuz the bus
for the missionaries had already left. The cool thing is that I am in the city
now and didn’t have to take a bus to get to my area.
So my new comp is Elder Head. He is from Utah. He is my
second gringo of my mission. He has 4 months in his mission. I am his 2nd comp.
He is really fun. He is easy to make fun of so I have a lot of fun with him. He
doesn’t speak very well yet. And so he gets a little upset at times when
members say how good my Spanish is. But for his time he speaks very well. I’m
having a great time.
My zone is called Gyamuras. It’s really, really rich. But
our area has the poorest and most dangerous neighborhood in the mission. Just a
little bit of it. Not all of it. It’s really weird that they put 2 gringos
together in this area is kind of scary but it seems solid for right now.
The bishop is out of work and has nothing to do, but he
wants to help.
It’s so awesome to be in a city for the 1st time in the
mission. We had 110 people in church yesterday. And when we got there they
asked me to give a talk because one of the people that was supposed to give it didn’t
show up. It was whatever hahaha.
Oh going down the hill from my house you can see the temple
at a distance. It’s so awesome all lite up at night. On Friday night we went to
the temple with the zone with everyone’s investigators. It was really cool. We
explained what happens in the temple and why we do it. It was so awesome.
From what I understand they didn’t split Triunfo, and I have
no idea about the old branch pres. but I feel like we were really making
progress with him. But we will see what happens with him.
The apartment is cool. It is has 3 divions. The living room
in front, a small kitchen, and the bedroom and obviously a bathroom. There is a
water heater on the shower head but it stopped working about a week before I
got there. So I heat up water on the stove while I study. But other than that it’s
tight. My area is all hills and stairs. It sucks climbing them all day. But
maybe I’ll finally get a butt hahahahaha.
Well I’ll try to write a little more next week. Still
getting to know the area so we will see how it goes. I love you all. Cant wait
to get home. Its crazy how little time I have left
