Week 43 in Uruguay: "Whole New Start"

6/5/18-6/11/18

Whole New Start

Wednesday – Thursday
Well, I got trained to be a trainer.  We met our “sons” at the Temple.  Guess what… I got a Gringo!  He is from Georgia and his name is Elder Hill.   We jumped into working and we were able to teach Joaquin today.  He is so humble.  I love that kid.  He is the sweetest lil kid ever.  My comp taught really well. He knows very little Spanish but he is trying.  I’m so excited to be a father, haha.  Thursday was the first real day with my “son” haha.  Well he didn’t know how to ride a bike and so that morning we had some lessons.  He fell once, but by the end we got him riding.  After, we taught Karina and what a blessing it is to speak by the Spirit. My comp has a long way to go, but is learning every day.  I remember how hard it was.  We talked to so many people and we passed by Laurito’s.  Hermano Laurito’s family started to open up to us more!  It was awesome!  I love that familia!  On the way home, we had a guard dog follow us. He was such a cute dog.  Well, that night my comp and I had a heart to heart.  He told me all his struggles, I felt for him.   After, I bore my testimony and we were both just crying, lol.  The spirit was really strong.  The next day, we talked to so many people, it was awesome.  We talked to these little kids.  I showed them some basketball spinning skills, and they think that it’s like magic.  They are planning on coming to church.

Friday – Saturday
Friday, we taught Sofia and her Family.  I’ve gotten so close to them now.  I love them!  Sofia’s daughter finally gave me a high five, lol.   We taught them the 10 commandments. It was super fun because we used a beach ball to teach.  I had my comp try to speak to them so it was good for him. After, we contacted until I got lost … so funny.   “Trainer of the year!” haha.   We got home and we studied.  I worked on teaching him Spanish.  After, we milked Alfores and had another heart to heart that I felt really helped him.  Saturday was super fun!  We had a work activity.  We played volleyball and basketball.  Definitely made my day, haha.  After, we had a huge lunch and the members played karaoke.

Sunday
What a day Sunday was!  We went and gave a blessing to a sick member and then had a charla with a family. We talked to them about José Smith.  I was able to say the 1st vision and the spirit was so strong!  I teared up as we talked about José Smith.  After, we taught Joaquin, love that kid.  I just can’t believe how humble he is.  I need to be more humble that’s for sure.  Well, my son and I are doing good!

Have the best week!!
