It´s been an
interesting week. Tuesday night Elder Schumacher and I went to Encarnación,
stayed over night, and went to Posadas Wednesday morning to send him home. I was
in Posadas pretty much all day Wednesday with all the missionaries that are
ending their missions... It was kind of weird. I knew a lot of them too.. one
was my trainer, a few of my leaders that I had grown close to.. I don´t know
anybody in the mission now! Wednesday night I went back to Encarnación where my
new companion, Elder Nascimento, was waiting. He´s from Brazil, he´s got a fun
personality, works hard, and only has 14 months in the mission so thankfully I
won´t have to ¨kill¨ 3 missionaries in a row. Maybe I´ll learn some Portugese
while I have the chance.
We didn´t get back to our area until Thursday night. I felt weird Friday
and Saturday working with a different companion for some reason. I was really
close to Elder Schumacher.. after opening the area and all together it just felt
strange coming back with someone else. But anyway, everything´s going great
now.
I also got to talk to my family yesterday for Mother´s Day.. so that was
fun.
I don´t really have much to say except that I´ve just been adjusting to the
new situation. The Benitez family, the one we baptized, are still doing really
well. They keep coming to church and they read and pray together every day. Well
actually, they told me they do Family Home Evening every night. Maybe they
didn´t understand that that was supposed to be on Mondays.. but hey, if they
want to do it every night I´m not going to stop them! The 10 year old, Paula,
just loves reading about Joseph Smith and also in the Book of Mormon. I asked
her one of her favorite stories and she told me about the brother of Jared, and
how God touched the stones so they could have light in the boat. I thought it
was pretty impressive how well she comprehends it all. We also talked about
going to the temple. They´re all excited for that now too. Gosh I love that
family!
Well that pretty much sums up my week.. hopefully I´ll have more for the
week following. Talk to you later!
