This week was awesome, I don´t think I taught a
single lesson... but it was awesome. We were so busy. Tuesday was
transfers and I had no idea how difficult that would be without any help
from another assistant (my comp was picking up his parents) or
President Pavan. Missionaries have no idea how much time and money go
into the small things to make a mission run, Tuesday I was running all
over the city. Wednesday was our planning day, we weren´t able to get
out of the office, mostly just spent the whole day mapping out the next 6
months for President, buying bus tickets for missionaries, and planning
our leadership meeting on Friday, which went awesome. We invited two
guest speakers, a recent convert and the most renovator type Bishop we
have here in the mission. We also gave a couple trainings. Thursday we
went to GRAMADO!! If I haven´t spoken much of Gramado I will now, its
the biggest tourist city south of São Paulo! It was legit, the
closest thing I can describe it to is like a Park City on steroids, its
there that people come all over the world for Christmas time for that
big show. Me and my comp had mostly just planned on going there alone
because the district was struggling but when I mentioned it to President
he was like "well I´ll go with you!" (it´s like 3 hours away...) I love
that guy, he came ready to work! He wants to divide with the
missionaries and watch as many district meetings as he can, what a
champ.
My companion is the MAN, seriously the perfect
companion. Not only is does he work hard and keep the rules he is NOT a
wierdo! Something we both have in common that I have grown to
treasure... I went and played basketball with him at the church today
for the first time in 23 months and it was wonderful. After we went to
Outback, then came back here to play War until now. Fantastic p day, I
didn´t even have time to be trunky, and that´s how I like it. My comp´s
name is Elder Persinger and he is from Colombus Ohio, but his family now
lives in Denver. We will be at BYU together.
My mission is starting to scare me... Everyone tells
me I´m dying and going home soon, my body is starting to cease to
function, and Dad is giving me marriage tips which is never a good
sign... It´s all gone so fast I feel like I need another two years to be
able to appreciate all the things I´ve learned and changed. The funny
thing is I still feel like a little boy waiting to one day "grow up."
Here soon I will have to enter the real world and go through the
refiner´s fire, and I couldn´t be more stoked for it.
I have loved my mission, am I excited to go home? Yes. Will I miss this place? Demais. (look it up.)
Love you all.
Stay Classy.
