To answer your questions about if we get referrals or if we tract--we don't get a ton of referrals, but we get some. These last few days we have been tracting a lot because I did get a new companion. His name is Elder Recinos. He is from Los Angeles and works really good. I like him, but I am afraid my Spanish won't do as well because it;s not life or death if I don't know it with him. I like him. With the planning books, I think I will rip out pages that I want. Like I ripped out the page when Raquel got baptized. This week's planning book is a week old and just got ruined today because its been raining hard today. There is a river running down the street and it's pretty cold.
It was super weird this week because I have been getting a taste of what it is like to be the senior companion because my new companion doesn't know the area. All these changes are super stressful. I feel like I am not qualified. When I can memorize a few more things and get the language down, the the changes won't be that big of deal, but right now it's pretty hard with everything. We have done a lot of walking and trying to find new people. I am learning new places in my sector because with my other companion we really didn't branch out much. That has messed me up now.
We do have a new investigator. He is nine and has a date to get baptized so he needs to attend church. Then he should be getting baptized. We tracted out and taught Jorge Topia, the son of a member, that I really like. It was kinda funny because we had lunch with the member last week and she talked about how she wanted her kids to attend church and how she prays for them. I shared Alma and Alma the Younger with her and everyone really felt the spirit. It was cool. Then a few days later we find her son, and he talks to us and says he wants to come back to church but his girl friend doesn't want to. So we will have to figure that out, but it was way cool.
My companion is getting a 90 x ab insanity and we are downloading it to work out with. It's like 200 dollars and I will get it for free so that's exciting. Other then that, not much happened this week . Just a lot of change. Have a great week.
Love,
Elder Gillies
