First week

This week has been crazy. First I´m no longer at the ctm which is crazy to think about. The ctm was a good time where we got to play basketball every day and eat as much food as we could. The last time was really cool though, we were with all the people leaving for the field the next day and they sat us down and went though everything with us and has us doing little drills thoughout the day for different things you would have to do during your mission. After that we had a group testomony meeting where the spirt was so strong the whole time. The next day we left. Me and 5 other elders left at 6 in the morning to catch our flight. As soon as we arrived there was a huge group of missionaries and the mission presdient who is way cool. He was in the 70 before he was a misison president. He has so much love for us it´s unreal.

We went to his house for lunch and he told us some of the rules for our mission and we aren´t able to have any coke or mate... It sucks but it´s part of the rules. They then had us go to a church and met up with some more missionaries who would be our trainers the next day, they just handed us some books and pass along cards and said get to work. My comp that day helped me so much to learn what to do and what to say to have people better understand the goesple.

After a long first day we went to a way nice hotel here to prepare for the coming day. The next day we found out who are comp was, my comp is named Elder Castro, he´s from Brazil and has been out for 5 months, He´s a way cool guy, He´s helped me learn so much already and just keeps helping me more every day. As he teaches me I try to help him learn some english because he want´s to learn. He´s getting pretty good.

This week was hard because they lost the map of our area so we don´t know where anyone lives so we are always looking for houses and new people to teach. We didn´t have many lessons this week but did find some cool people that we are going to teach this week so that´s good at least. 

It´s hard here but at the same time it´s not that bad, the lord has helped me so much already it´s crazy to think that he will keep beelssing me, the language is slowly coming along, it takes time. The members here try to talk to me and it sounds like a different language, but i do my best to reply and they try to make sense of what i say, But they alwasy try to talk to me because im american and they don´t seem americans to often. Things are good here, Next week hopfully I´ll have some pictures and more news on lessons.
