Hola Todos,
I´m still alive. Don´t worry... be happy... oh wait, that´s the other caribean island. I wrote my new companion´s name wrong last week. There was an error due to the language barrier. My new companion is Elder Deans, from Michigan. He has about six month in the mission and just had Elder Gutierrez for a companion, whom I had for a companion for two weeks when Elder Enger went home. He´s really easy to going and easy to get along with, although it has felt kind of wierd having an American for a companion again. Before he got here I hadn´t had an American companion for about six months. For the most part I´ve been doing most of the talking this week. Elder Deans is pretty quiet and shy, so I´m trying to think of creative ways to help him break out of his shell. I´m happy to have him for a companion though. He´s a good, obedient missionary, and my biggest fear aroung transfer time is always that I´ll end up with a new companion that is disobedient and have to babysit him for at least the next six weeks.
This week has continued with a pretty loow number of lessons and only two investigatoers in church, but we´ve been working hard to fin new investigatores and have foud a few hopefulls. It´s been a little more interesting to get a hold of people to teach them this week, because we haven´t had the cell phone, which my Elder Pimentel accidentaly left in the capital instead of giving it to Elder Deans. Usually people aren´t in their houses when we have our appointments with them, so if we want to teach them we always have to call them first. We´ve been doing well though. My biggest speed bump right now is that the mission office won´t send us any more copies of the Book of Mormon and we don´t have any more to give to our investigatores. But we just keep working hard and doing everything we can. Anyhow, I´m out of time again and have to go.
Thank you all for your prayers and support, as always.
P.S. Does anybody know if dry cleaning a suit caot an ties would get rid of mold problems?
Cuidense!
