Well we survived the first week. Haha it actually wasn`t that bad. My companion is Elder Johnny Duarte, he`s from Texas but his parents are both from Mexico. He grew up speaking spanish in his house so luckily he already speaks it perfectly. Although the accent is definitely different and not what I`m used to. Being district leader isn`t too bad. I had to do my first baptismal interview for the other elders on wednesday. It went pretty well and I passed him. Basically as district leader I have to send in the numbers each day to the zone leaders, and I have to know about their fechas progresando for when the zone leaders call to ask about them. It makes it easier since we live in the same pensh so when I need their numbers I just yell at them across the room. I also have to run the district meetings each monday. My first one was this morning and I think it went pretty good.
Training doesn`t seem too bad. We are figuring it out together. It seems like I was just in my training. It definitely helps that he already speaks spanish, and he`s a capo. He`s going to make us some mexican food this Pday and I don`t think I`ve been more excited for anything in my life.
We were supposed to have two baptisms last week but things got complicated and basically we just couldn`t do the interviews in time. So basicallly if we can get the interviews done we will have two baptisms this week. It`s a pain because the zone leaders have to do my interviews and so we have to work with the train schedule and the schedule of the investigators and it`s a huge pain. It also makes me nervous that they won`t end up being there or something and then wasting like 2 hours of the zone leaders day. Hopefully we can end up having them, gotta start my refuerzo off right.
It actually is kinda cold here. I don`t think it´s gotten below freezing yet, but everyone is always bundled up like it´s -50 or something. To their credit, the humidity does suck the heat out of you pretty easily, but I don`t think it`s that cold. There is never a time of the day when you are warm tho. We don`t have a heater in our pensh, and nobody has heaters in their houses so basically you`re just cold all day.
Well my comp has already fallen in the mud twice, so I`d say he`s already got a good idea what Álvarez is like haha. It`s not a good day until you get at least somewhat covered in mud. The second time he fell into the ditch and I tried really hard not to laugh but I couldn`t help it.
