Week 17 in the Field - No More Elder Torres and I´m a Trainer

Hey guys, hope everything is going well!

Well this week was kind of sad because my companion Elder Torres left and now we´re just a companionship of two. But now I get to train which is really exciting!

Right now I´m really excited for two investigators named Raquel and Walter. They are fundamental christian-type people but they are reading the Book of Mormon and they are progressing a lot in knowledge.

Other than that I´m really good. This week was honestly a little uneventful, just saying goodbye to Elder Torres and teaching lessons to our progressing investigators.

I spoke this Sunday in sacrament about the Book of Mormon. I love this quote from Bruce R McConkie:

Let this message be sounded in every ear with an angelic trump; let it roll round the earth in resounding claps of never-ending thunder; let it be whispered in every heart by the still, small voice. Those who believe the Book of Mormon and accept Joseph Smith as a prophet thereby open the door to salvation; those who reject the book outright or who simply fail to learn its message and believe its teachings never so much as begin to travel that course along the strait and narrow path that leads to eternal life.

I invite you all to read the Book of Mormon, and if you are already doing so then with increased passion and fervor. I testify that this book allows us to grow closer to the Savior and to receive divine blessings in our lives.

Love you all, have a great week!

(Questions/Answers from Grandma's email):

Do you think more in Spanish now than in English?

Right now I am companions with Elder Proby and he speaks English so we always talk in English when we´re at the house (Unless we´re practicing for lessons). So I still think in English a lot. But when I´m in lessons I think pretty much exclusively in Spanish.

Are you eating anything?

Haha yeah we have plenty of food, we just walk a lot so I´ve been slimming down.

Does it seem longer than 6 month that you have been a missionary?

This has definitely been a super busy six months but at the same time things move quickly when you have a schedule and you´re always busy. So in some ways it seems like I´ve been here a long time and in other ways I don´t even feel like I have six months yet.
