Training EXP: 6 out of 12

General Información

We started the new year off right, as I found and killed my first Mexican cockroach this week! Saldy though, it happened to be in the Empanada shop we were eating at. Makes sense now why they were only 12 pesos. But, I am not sick (yet) and the empanadas were pretty good so win win situation? Kinda? As for the rest of the week though, we actually didn't have much happen. I gave a talk on Sunday that was 15 minutes and all in Spanish. Not getting ahead of myself here though, as a member come up to me after and told me it made no sense. Got to love the constructive critisicm!

Changes

Today marks the first day of my second change in the field! One change down, and it's crazy to think I got here 6 weeks ago. Time goes by fast when you are trying to talk to people that don't want to talk to you in a language you don't know. As for changes though, ironically there were none for me. Me and Reyes have another 6 together, and then I will finish my training. Hopefully I will be able to keep a conversation at that point! 

El Fin

Apologizes for this letter being a little shorter, as 5 days isn't much time for things to happen. That being said, we have a baptizm this Saturday, so I look forward to talking about that! But, everyday I have here, I feel my testimony of this Gospel grow little by little. I have changed, and grown up a lot in just these past 6 weeks, and I know there is a lot more to go, and a lot of work ahead. Through it all though, I am happy, which I think is one of the biggest blessings of the Church. Now, it's just about sharing that. Until next week!
