This week was really crazy, it turns out I'm a "Father" now, which means I'm training a new missionary!
So on Tuesday, I said goodbye to Elder Telis, and then went to the mission home to pick up my "Son" [new missionary, start from the MTC]. There were like 22 new missionaries coming in, which was crazy, and I got to hang out with all my buddies from the MTC that were training too. So that was super, and the food is always super-good at the Mission Home. so i am still in the same area and will be there until the end of January, which is like a long time.
My son's name is Elder Haycock from Sandy, Utah and he's about 6´4" and a redhead, so we are going to be attracting a lot of attention in the streets. So yeah, now basically I'm in charge and i have to talk all the time. I will say my Spanish has improved a ton because now everyone talks to me and I basically just talk on the cell phone 24/7 now, trying to arrange appointments and get everything in order.
Saturday we had a baptism with Franco, which went really well, my comp baptized him and it only took 3 tries to do it, because I realize now we didn't fill the font up enough. but yeah it's been fun teaching and messing with my new comp, he's real awesome, and has a ton of desires to work so that where we are at right now.
Today during p-day we made a ton of tacos with this Elder from Guatemala and he made me try this super-spicy sauce and like burned my freaking mouth what a chabón I am right, but anyway this week has been really good i hope you guys are all doing well!!
I forgot to tell you that in last month's testimony meeting this guy got up and sang for 10 minutes straight this super-quiet whispery voice and sung like three hymns then the Bishop passed him the card to sit down, and he just kept singing so the Bishop had to stand up, it was hilarious, and yes really with Spanish, I feel like understand 90 percent, and I just ask again if I don't understand, but yeah it hasn't been too difficult, like i thought it was going to be.
