Hey fam and Friends!

So I'm not gonna lie this week has been the hardest week of my entire mission. I recieved my new comp which is new new to the mission. I have the responsibility to train him....... I can't explain how hard it has been. I still feel like I need to be trained for another 3 months. IT's ROUGH!!

But my comp is from a city called Esmeralda in Ecuador so go look it up and let me know how it is. I basically know lots about Ecuador because Elder Miranda talks about it A LOT!! But hey It's because he's proud to be from there just like I'm proud to be from the USA. Anyways there's lots to be learned. Every spanish speaking country has their own dialect so some of the words he says I've never heard before and he has to explain them a lot haha. I don't know if I'm going deaf or I'm just not used to his accent because the words I've used the most this weak are "como" "que" and "huh" (basically they all mean what haha). The good thing is I'm improving my listening skills.

This week we basically contacted for most of the time which is kinda rough because I wanna teach. I want to be able to see people progress and be able to see the happiness in their lives. The good thing is we will have lots of people to teach in the next week because we are contacting a ton. We'll see how it goes.

One thing that I've learned this week comes from Preach My Gospel. In chapter 6 which is the section with Christlike atributes. I read the section about patience because I felt like I needed to learn about it and develop more patience. I learned that Patience includes the ability to endure delay or opposition. We are all different and we do things our own ways which can be hard to adjust to but if we continue to develop this attribute we will be able to strengthen our relationships with others.

Hope you all have a great week!

So it's been raining and flooding this week so there's a ton of mud and I stepped in a place where it looked like solid dirt but was a mud pit so my shoe got soaked in mud.

 Because of the rain the water isn't clean. Yeah I've had to shower with water like that all week!!!
