Hey Family and Friends!
Another week has gone by..Wow! This week was extremely fast. Me and my companion had a good week. Honestly I have felt kinda sick and right now I dont feel very good either but I am fine. Just by joints hurt especially in my neck but its nothing like my companion he got super sick and could barely walk. Their is this famous sickness here called chickengunia and its like it hurts your bones and muscles and you have a fever and its horrible. He has had this for the past two days so this last saturday and sunday we didnt leave just left for a bit to go to sacrament meeting at church.
Speaking of sacrament meeting, this week my companion and I gave talks! SO we each had 15 minutes to speak on missionary work. My companion went first and I was totally counting on him to talk for the fifteen minutes but the guy only talked for 8...so I had to talk for longer and I talked for 20 minutes on missionary work and how the atonement ties into it. How every person deserves the oppurtunity to hear the gospel and know how to recieve a forgiveness of their sins through the atonement of Christ. It was cool, I actually really enjoy speaking, it gives me a feeling of accomplishment and I really like it. Plus I was proud of myself because I was able to talk for these 20 minutes in spanish and it was good. So that was cool.
I honestly love this area so much. The people here are mean sometimes but I love these people. We found a couple new people to teach this week as well, one of them is named Rubin and he was born here in El Salvador and then after he moved to Canada for like 17 years then he moved back here and here he is, so we are gonna start teaching him and I am gonng teach him in english! Whooo! Haha so that is also exciting.
Well I love you guys. I really do, I am more than happy to be here and serve my mission and I love it so so so so much. It is definately hard but rewarding as my dad always tells me.
Thats really it that I have for this week, I will be sending an email with lots of pictures next week so you all better be ready love you guys have a great week!
