Well, I had my first whole week with my new companion and she’s amazing. This morning she deep-cleaned the pench with me and I am so thankful for that. As far as training goes, I feel a lot of responsibility. That’s all I’m going to say, but we are doing just fine.
We are having a baptism this Saturday. His name is Sebastian. His story is amazing. He was telling us this week as we were travelling to conference about his life before because he used to so all kinds of drugs, drink, smoke, the works. Anyway, he was telling us of near death experiences with drug deals and guns and lots of crazy things. You can’t even imagine the change he’s had. He came to every session of Saturday. He got to the Stake Center with us at one in the afternoon and stayed til eleven at night for priesthood and then Sunday he stayed for all the sessions as well. Anyway, I’m excited for him to be baptized.
As far as other people, we are struggling. This is why I feel stress. But my companion is great. She’s from Argentina from the Provincia Missiones—the Missionary from Missiones. I’ll forward you a picture. (Maybe at some point we’ll even get to know her name!)
I liked conference. I loved Elder Uchtdorf’s talk on love. I liked President Monson’s talk alot, too, and yes, I know the sister he talked about. Hermana Gurr is her name and she left about three months ago so she’s home now. I din’t know the story either, but we were all watching it in English—the north American missionaries—and when he told the story, we all looked around and the assistants told us it was her. P.S. I got to watch it in English. It was amazing. All the Argentines were in the sacrament room and all the north American elders and me (the only girl) were upstairs. I bought food and got to put my feet up for the sessions. It was so nice. As far as conference goes, I think the general theme was the atonement and families. Looks like we need to repent more and teach better in the home. Anyway, pray for me that I can teach my companion!
