I dont know where to start for this week it was crazy.
So my mom told me that i never said who elder junior reminded me of sooooo he reminds me of my brother kevin hes a stud. going off of that i got transferred out of my district into a totally new one with a new companion elder rhode but who knows for how long. he is really sick and they dont know what is wrong with him. luckily it doesnt seem to be contagious but he hasnt kept a meal down in over a week and he has lost like 35 pounds since hes been here and he was pretty small to start with. he is the biggest stud though he is always pushing me to be a little stronger, a little better, and to try a little harder. i know that i was transferred out of my old district into this new one so i could learn patience and how to put up with some people haha. my whole district is extremely goofy but they are pretty alright.
this week has really been a struggle. i have been having a really hard time getting the language down but i keep telling myself that ive only been here for two weeks. ive probably already learned just as much in these 2 weeks as i learned in 2 years in HS. i love it though i can not wait till it starts to click a little more.
so the more spiritual side of the week was yesterday. we had a testimony meeting and elder rhode hit me hard. he told us how when he was going into 8th grade 3 kids in his school took their own lives. 2 of them were his 2 best friends. to make long story short he had always thought it was his fault because he had never felt worthy or had never been strong enough to share the gospel with them. that is why he is out here. he wants to be able to share it with everyone and try to make up for it (even though it was not his fault). he is pretty bummed that he has to go home but he is going to get back out as soon as he can. i dont know if i would be strong enough to go home and get used to my normal life again, and be able to say goodbye to my family and all my stuff at home. i know that it is the right thing to do but wow its hard.
surprisingly i havent cried myself to sleep yet but i have had some times when i just want to be back with my family and just hang out with them. so get ready in 2 years we are just gonna chill and do nothing. i love you all and i know that i am out here for a reason. i know i can learn this language. God has called me to serve in a spanish mission and he wouldnt have if he knew i couldnt get it down. it is hard but im putting my shoulder to the wheel and im not going to stop pushing.
i cannot wait until i get to the field and get to serve the people of el salvador. speaking about people of el salvador ive been hanging with an elder from santa ana, el salvador. hes the nicest guy ever. elder rosales. his visa didnt get cleared to go to honduras so he is most likely to come to san salvador east. hes super funny but in testimony meetings and devotionals he is super spiritual and i know he is going to be a huge stud (even though i can barely understand him) well i dont have mush else for this week it was a struggle but it only gets better haha i love you all and thanks for supporting me
