Hola amigos! "I'm back and I'm better" - James Harden. This week flew by, at least compared to last week! They restocked the choco cones today too, which automatically makes today a good day. I have progressed in my knowledge of the gospel and the language. This week has been full of mostly funny experiences. Before I explain those I'd like to share some changes I've noticed so far here in the CCM. One of those changes is muy malo. The meals are progressively getting worse! I'm talkin hot dog beans and watery eggs in the morning. Gulp.
I have learned to pray, bear testimony, invite to baptism, and a lot more in Espanol. I can pretty much say what I want in Spanish, it just takes me a while to think of it in my head. Now let's get on with the funny experience I had. My companion and I prepared a lesson for one of our brand new fake investigadors, at least we thought we had a lesson planned. When we knocked on his door (classroom) he took like 2 minutes to answer the door. When he answered we introduced ourselves and asked him some questions. He started speaking soooo fast! If we don't understand a question we automatically pretend we understand and say "si," but apparently the question was,"Would you like some coffee?" We said yes and drank it. We thought he said agua. (It was actually water by the way. It was just a test). We continued our lesson and out of nowhere he blurted out another question. Of course we didn't understand so we said "si." The question was, "Is it okay to have 7 wives?" We then got kicked out because he said he had a party to be to. He explained it all to us after and we felt so dumb. I've been balling out with the Latinos and we chill with them a lot now. One of them is from Argentina, one is from the Dominican Republic, and the other two are from Ecuador and Chile. I can understand Spanish much better now and I'm progressing fast. On Sunday we listened to another Elder Holland devotional specifically for misionaries. It was a real pump up for me. It convinced me to savor every minute of my mision and to go home with no regrets. After 24 months of course. Overall I'm doing great! I can't wait to get out to the field and serve the people of Comayaguela, Honduras. Feel free to send me emails! It will make my day. Also pics/vids would be dope too! Thanks for reading this. I love you all! Have a good day, oh and also have a great day my amigos!
