Family and friends, this week was one of my most favorite
weeks on my mission. It was also one of
the hardest working weeks that I have had here in Chile. Having Elder Katschke as a companion is
amazing and I’m learning so much from him.
We have really dominated how to be exactly obedient and have fun at the
same time. We are already seeing changes
in this sector and we are going to get this sector where it needs to be.
To tell you guys a little bit more about my companion, he is
from Nevada, and as I already said, this is his last transfer in the
mission. He is 20, the oldest in his family
and the first missionary. He played a
lot of basketball before the mission. He’s
one of the hardest workers and really strives to be the best that he can be. We
have both helped each other out a lot already and I’m grateful for his example. We spend our time outside in the pouring
rain, working hard but somehow laughing a lot of the time and talking with
everyone. Also the planning and goals
that we do really help and encourage us. All in all, we get along very well and
we are working really hard, good times.
To tell you a little about our week I will start off from
last Monday. After I got over the shock
of hearing I was going to be comps with the ex-assistant, we went and started
saying goodbye to all the people for Elder Ludena. Every time that I say bye or
watch others say bye to someone they have met from their sector it’s crazy to
see how difficult it is. The love and friendship
that we have with the people as missionaries is something I can’t explain, but
it’s amazing. The next day Elder Ludena
left for Mulchen, carrying all his suitcases and bags in the rain made
everything pretty stressful and about
the hardest workout that I have had. Every
time we have transfers I get kind of excited because I know that a good workout
is coming, carrying all of the suitcases and everything. Haha Also after, we do shopping for the week and we
have to carry all of the bags of food in our hands all the way to our house! Haha,
it kills my arms.
Elder Hatch & Elder Casmuz
I worked with Elder Hatch and Casmuz until Wednesday night
when my companion got here. Spending two
days with them was pretty fun, we contacted all the time we were together but
it went well. Elder Casmuz is really fun
and us 3 would have a lot of fun with the contacts.
When we went to get my new companion we also met a missionary named
Elder Snyder and he has his brand new Gringo son in the mission with him. His name is Elder Oxborrow, it’s always fun
and cool to see new gringos start the mission.
It’s easy to mess with them but also I like giving them advice and
help. The rest of the week we have just
been working really hard in the rain. We
are starting to reap what we have sown and starting to find people to teach and
also are strengthening the members in our ward.
Elder Katschke is a real good example for me, even though he is ending
his mission soon, he is working very hard and going all out in every
sense! By the end of the day I am dead
tired and fall asleep instantly when I hit my bed. I can’t explain it. When I was working out every day and playing lacrosse I thought I was tired but
the mission is making me more tired than I have ever been in my life. But, I am loving it! Hope that everything is
going well for everyone back home and I hope everyone has a good week!
