Hello po!
Well it's true. I get to start training someone this next transfer-starting September 26th.
I am kind of in a state of shock right now and I think my anxiety is
just super maxed out right now! I can't even really think about it. I got
the email today saying I am training, so this Friday we'll go to the
training meeting for the new trainers in San Pablo. Sister Begontes
isn't training though, but she will still come with me. I am kind of
excited though because it looks like a lot of my batch will also be
training, so I will get to see all of them again!
In other news, we have been pretty busy. We get punted a lot -
as in people are 'too busy' for us to teach them, or they aren't home,
so we have been talking to tons of people. This week we got 71 OYM's.
That means we talked to 71 different people and shared just briefly
about the gospel with them and asked if we could come back and share
more. So this week, there are quite a few people we need to go back and
visit and hopefully we will be able to find some people who are really
interested and will progress, because so far, I haven't really seen any
of our investigators progress.
This week we have also dropped a few people so it is kind of
discouraging, but being able to just talk with so many other different
people has been fun, and I am definitely understanding more of the
language. Still definitely not fluent and I am SUPER nervous to have to
train because of the language barrier, but I know it needs to be done
and Heavenly Father and President Peterson need me to train someone, so I
will do my best with this language thing.
Not much has happened this week. There are still some weird
things that happen everyday that just are totally not normal, but are
normal for here and so I am still getting over this culture shock thing.
I am feeling a lot more comfortable with the area and I can find my way
around easier, so that has definitely been a big blessing.
We also
don't have specific areas any more here, so all of us in Candelaria are
free to go any where. We just have to make sure we aren't in the same
area as the other sisters.
Here is a funny story. On Saturday we were going to an
appointment and this little kid was in the street kind of far away from
us, he just looks over at me, screams and then just books it back into
his house, just screaming and crying. Hahahahaha! It was pretty funny. We
were going to go talk to his mom after, but we decided that might not
have been the greatest idea...
I love you guys so much though and I can really feel your prayers everyday and it helps so much! Thank you for the emails too:)
Love,
Sister Mecham
