We had some luck this week...

  This week we had some unexpected visitors. Me and my companion are sorta new (Green) and we really needed help. ELder Puga my companion has almost 9 months... we sometimes don´t know what to do because everyone is pretty hard in our area, tons of dropped apointments, we can´t get into a single house. Luckily this week, our president sent 2 misionaries to our apartment for a week, we learned a ton from them. They have 22 months and they are way experienced. We learned different ways in how to get in someones house, it´s not as hard as we thought it was, we entered in like 10 house, at least this week. and Taught...
        The 2 missionaries that came, their names are, Elder Mendoza, and Elder Hawkes. Elder Hawkes changed the course of mission and my life forever. I never have seen someone so wise in the mision field before. He knows whats going on and he knows how to have fun while doing it. He taught me how to treat people like a friend instead of throwing questions at them about religion. From that moment on, I figured out how I could make friends with people on the street, thats how it should be. Talk about them, and treat them like a friend.I was with ELder Hawks for 3 days, and with Elder Mendoza for the other 3 days. every moment I learned a ton, and took advantage of the time I had with them.
        Elder Hawkes gave me a quote that I will never forget, he wrote in a journal that I have... "Remember, sometimes those who start out the slowest, end up going the farthest" -Elder wirthlin. Elder Hawkes likes
        I wasn´t paying atention, but yesterday I found out 6 months left me, I have been out for 6 months now. It´s going way to fast, and lately, I have been enjoying my mision even more (Now that I can talk in spanish better it´s more enjoyable) so it´s going even faster. Recently we have been just trying to reactivate a family. The family epinosa, they are so great, I planned a family home evening night with them that I am going to prepare.. We have some investigatores, but they haven´´t come to church yet, we are trying to acheive that..
        I tried something called batata, it´s a strange sweet tasting thing, with a wierd soft texture. I can´t really describe it, but I remember it from growing up with my Mom, it brought back a lot of memories, it was pretty cool. The way I am eating, in reality, I should be fat. But it´s not catching up as fast as I thought.
        I don´t know what else to say. Thanks for reading my letter, take care everyone. Besitos.
