Hey family and friends,
Well, its been almost a week with my new comp and we are
opening an area! Our area is called Pinares 1 and all the members are so ready
to help us work hard! I'm inside the capital now in a zone called zone 18 and
this is supposedly the most dangerous zone in our mission! yay for me! haha,
well my new comp is Elder Alvarado and he is from Chile! he knows alot of
english and he is awesome and loves to work! He wants to work hard and to learn
all he can! So he's new from the CCM, but he knows so much on how to teach
already! He is such a good example for me and I know he might not believe it
but I think I am learning more from him then he is from me. That's the great
thing about training! The trainer will always learn from the new person and
it's a great opportunity to kinda shape the new missionary into the missionary
that he needs to be! Also, my comp is a genious at the violin! He's incredible!
He brought his violin from home and he trusted me to play it a litle bit!
Well here in Guatemala they celebrate Easter as what they
call semana santa, which is holy week, and during this week, almost no one
works, and they all leave to go to the beach or just leave for vacation. So
this week was a little hard to open an area and not know anybody and to try to
visit invesigators if they were home. Haha, but it was fun because we tried to
visit the members and just get to know them more and build a good relationship
with them from the beginning. So this week was conference and I can't tell you
guys how much I loved it! We got to watch conference in our church and it was
amazing but I only had the opportunity to listen to it in Spanish... even
though I understood alot of it, I still didn't understand parts of it and tried
to really focus and learn more Spanish and learn from the apostles. My favorite
session had to be priesthood session! It was so powerful for me and it really
hit me that all the youth really need to prepare even more now than before and
it really made me think about Chace and how even though he has only 13 years,
he needs to prepare now. So we ate at a members house for lunch and dinner on
Sunday and the same family fed us both times! Haha, their name is family Catú.
We ate a thing kind of like a tostada. I dont know how to explain it but they
made alot of food and so they said I can eat as much as I wanted so I had 7
tostadas and a mango:)
Love,
Elder Flygare
