Okay so this week was pretty lame as far as contacting.
Pretty much rejection 24/7. But hey, happy missionary status is: thumbs up.
My companion is different than any other companion I have ever had in the sense
that he is SOOOO intelligent and never, ever, ever talks. Like never. We are
teaching a woman named Susana who is 29 and a single mom of two kids, and she
is for sure getting dunked. However, due to legal complications with her ex it
is hard for her to come to church so she probs isn’t getting baptized while I
am here but she is dead set on entering the fount. I honestly am this close to
going to her ex´s house and bashing his head in. He is a jerk and has shown up
twice during lessons high on cocaine to yell and be abusive. Dad of the year
award and it is only January. Way to go man, WOOT WOOT.
On a less sarcastic note I am going on a tour of the island
this next Monday and I am pretty stoked. Going to see some penguins, beaches
and old Spanish forts. I am trying to stay actively engaged in the work and
focused but it is hard. I had an interview with President Isom and he said it
is normal and that I am doing great. I really love that guy. Our interview was
him giving me the low down on how to buy and sell cows and farm land. Nice to
know I still have that high school skill of getting the teacher off topic so
class flies by. But honestly, I love the guy and his wife. I helped her clean
her car while my comp was in his interview and we laughed the whole time.
Looks like I am going to meet Elder Stevenson of the 12
right before I head back to the states. Talk about ending in style.
I love you,
Elder Rich
