Next week is changes... and if I am correct, Rachel and Johnny leave the MTC next week, right?
Everything in going good. Two weeks ago we started a plan with 'Escuadrones,' where the missionaries have to get up at 5am to get ready. Then at 7 we try to meet up with some of the leaders in the ward. Next we go out in 'squadrons' to visit less actives, investigators, and recent converts to invite them to church, give some of them rides, and that kind of stuff. This past week it worked out really well.
We put a baptismal date with the sister of a boy who just left for his mission from this ward in Guatemala! His other sister declined...She seems to be too distracted with things of the world to take much interest in the Gospel. And while I was on divisions, my companion and a ZL put another baptismal date as well. It's possible that I might not get to see the ordinance, but my comp thinks I will probably stay here. (and if I do, I probably won't be in the same Zone a Rachel)
About the half the pdays in this zone we went to MetroMall to use internet, which is cool. We get to eat TacoBell when we go there (there are a bunch of other choices, but Taco Bell is the one I choose)
My companion an I get along well enough most of the time. A veces he seems to get annoyed when I don't understand everything that's going on, but we work together pretty well. My Spanish doesn't seem to be advancing too much, especially since I already had a bunch when I got here. I just improve a little bit here and there...
The Bishop and the ward are starting to advance (esp. due to the Escuadrones) I have more confidence in my ability to help people. I haven't seem too many real fruits of my labors, but I know that I am helping the Lord's work...
I realized Josh is the same age as Joseph Smith when he received the first vision...
Until next week,
Love,
Elder Niendorf
