Today was a lame p-day.
My companion just wanted to sleep all day so I ended up studying and
getting to know the members we live with better. I am definitely going to be
the energy of this companionship. I
really thing that my new comp is a great guy, but I am not so sure he has the
drive to serve a mission. He has had a
hard life in Peru and he doesn’t have anyone who writes him. I feel for the guy and want to help him out
in some way.
Miracle #253: In this new missionary house, we have a
HOT shower!!! In my other house, we had a shower, but it was only occasionally
lukewarm at best.
The funny part of the day didn’t exist.

Today was long and boring. I ended up contacting most of the
day in order to get it done. My comp is super
laid back, and low on energy. As we were
doing the street contacts, I came to realize that EVERYONE in this sector opens
their doors for us. It is great. Plus, they are all home by 5 pm.
Miracle #254: In a couple of hours of contacting here,
I can do more than I could in days in los cardinos.
I found it funny how clueless my comp is about this
area. We will be trying to fin a house
of a member and he has to call another elder in the sector for help. I am going to memorize the streets ASAP because
I don’t like the feeling of being constantly lost.

Today was hard. Elder
R. has zero initiative. Even if he had
the best of intentions, he doesn’t follow through. Most of today was at least entertaining at
church. First off, I was/am the ward
pianist. The keyboard is old school and
has the cheesy built in buttons that put a beat in with the melody. As I was getting ready to play the closing
hymn, I accidentally switched the setting and when I hit the first note, and
80’s rock beat filled the chapel for a few seconds. We all felt evangelical.
Miracle #257: I was able to clean up our area book
today so that it is presentable.
A funny part of today was getting a lot of flack from the
old members of the ward about my haircut.
They think that it is too ghetto. Oh well, it will grow. We did a ton of contacting today. I am averaging about 28 people/day in this
area. It is great!

I am having a hard time with my new comp. He hates my initiative and generally hates his
life. He got so pissed at me today that
he called me a MF in English. Basically
all I want to do is to do the work and not walk in random circles. He doesn’t want to contact or teach, and only
wants to walk slowly around an area that he does not know. He is 100%
disinterested in the message that we are sharing and his comments are just off
the wall. It is HARD.
Miracle #258: I gave out 3 Book of Mormons and 13
pamphlets today. I contacted a total of
39 people today.
The funniest part of today was realizing how easy it is to
not get distracted by a beautiful girl if they are holding a screaming baby.

Today was pretty good.
99% of the reason it was good was because we did divisions. The zone leaders called us this morning
telling us that we had divisions. I am
not sure who told them that we aren’t doing too well, but I don’t mind a
break. This was the second time where I
was basically told that my comp was a huge challenge and I need to keep working
on it. I think that my president is giving
me another test and this time I really don’t want to fail. I figure that I must
be in the pool of hard companions else why would I get paired with them.
Miracle #259: We found a super receptive less active
member wile contacting door to door.
The funniest part of the day today was a contact we did with
a grandma and her granddaughter. We
asked her if we could visit and she made
the typical excuses that she was never in the house and she was always
busy. But the little girl chimed in and
said, “Grandma you are lying. You are always in the house!” It was hilarious how this little girl kept
calling her out. In the end, she finally
said that we could come back to teach her.

Today was good. Instead of going bowling with the zone, we stayed
home and just made food as a house. The
purpose was to help the struggling companionships to grow closer together. We all ended up having a better day. We didn’t really work hard, but we talked and
had a good time.
Miracle #260: The other missionaries are helping me
and my companion to get along better.
The fun part of the day was when the entire house decided to
do ab ripper together. The other
missionaries absolutely died. This is
one of the hardest workouts that I have been doing for about 3 months. Everyone wants to try to do this workout as a
group 3 times a week. I am up for it!
