Dos Gringos

First week with my new comp was great, and super fast. We are both white boys so that's quite the sight for some people down here, they just cannot believe it and are blown away. I'm making sure we don't get scammed paying for stuff though and standing our ground, we ́re all good.

Lessons are going great with our investigators and I think I showed my comp around the area well enough. He is a hard worker and likes to push it, but I'm the one with long legs so it evens out. We have been taking out a couple of members to teach with us and balance out the ratio, no really they are super helpful. Jesus Villajuan is preparing for his mission and Ricardo recently got back.

We did a few service projects this week which I am always up for, one may have been a little dangerous as my comp was dangling from a bamboo crossbeam cutting wires so we could strip the roof. We also discovered a few more flavors of bodoques, Oreo and some peanut one that pretty much taste like Reeses;).

We finalized a baptismal date for Francheska's mom(Marleni) so that is really exciting. Almost every day this week I was able to directly apply my personal study into a lesson. The one for Marleni was Mosiah 16:9 talking about Christ as the light of the world. Marleni has had health issues and her son died a couple years ago, She glowed up once I shared this scripture with her which goes to show the power and importance of the Book of Mormon, as a missionary I am simple a tool helping people come to Christ, the more faith you have the easier it is so just let Him work through you, that's it. Other than a few more amazing lessons, these two gringos are killing down here, even if at times he is a little annoying and I want to punch him, that's part of it, what do you expect.
