Today we just got done playing soccer, and we ate some huge panchos (perro calientes/hotdogs) afterwards. We didn´t do anything too sweet for p-day today. There is a lot of cool places to go here in San Juan. San Juan suposedly has had a lot of earthquakes, and is sorta dangerous, it´s an awesome/pretty area. The people here are mostly nice, but we ran into really nasty people, I tried catching up with my open the mouth (talking with people on the street) and man we struggled with the people lately, they became bitter because the weather is colder. I love the sweet rejection when they speed walk when you talk to them while walking. It´s so funny.
This week was a little rough, I had a lot of time to study inside. My companion has a fever and some type of throat bacterial infection. luckily I have a lot of stuff to read, such as liahonas, or the book of mormon. We couldn´t get much done this week, but I was able to go out and work with the other Elders in their areas, if not I would have lost my mind sitting down all day reading. We are in a 4 man apartment, and the 2 other elders are great people. One of them is a gringo, he is a rock climber, and the other is from salvador. My companion is from JuyJuy Argentina, Me and my companion are getting along pretty well lately, I know we will have success in our area.
I know we will have success here in bolovard, San Juan, Because we have had some testing times, and we came out better and stronger each time. I know that the lord puts me through these specific trials so that I can learn necessary skills. The experiences I have been having lately have been tough for me at first. But through these experiences I learn to trust in the lord better, for example, there is a promise that was hard for me to trust. Doctrine and covenats 100:6 "For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say." As I taught a lesson with my companion, I tried my best to study, and ponder and apply what I had learned. As a result I tried my best to trust in the Lord that I could help the new converts that we were teaching, to understand my lesson. I was able to share the lesson well, and they understood. I did not get nervous once, and I did feel the spirit helping me teach. I know that it is true. How can we teach if we don´t apply what we are teaching. My goal is, as I teach: Doctrine and covenats 50:22 "Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together."
