Senior Companion - AUGH!

Tuesday November 24, 2009

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to be senior comp. I cannot believe it. I am going to be in my third transfer nothing more! AGH!!!! I am so scared.
haha ok I had to get that out.
OK but seriously. I am wondering what I have to learn. Like why am I going to be senior comp already? I´ve got a lot of growing to do i guess....I am going to Santa Fe, and I am pretty sure that my companion I know from the MTC and she is super nice. and already knows spanish thank heavens because she worked in a law firm in guatemala for a year or somthing. But yeah cuz i still dont understnad spanish very well. For example we were teaching yesterday and the lady was like yeah i have a terrible sin after we explained that baptism is for the perdon of sins. Anyway she went on to explain what it is and I was like ok whatever i dont understnad. After the lesson my comp told me that she killed her husband!! agh. But whatever I guess if the Lord trusts me to do it, I can do it.
Ok this week was really different. But also very good because I feel like I learned a lot. We had a district activity and it was so good. the elders in my district are so awesome. I am really going to miss them. There is a program here in Argentina called Casi Angeles (almost angels) and so we did a skit called casi Elderes. It was so funny. we incorporated a lot of things from the culture. Like the elders went to the boliche on saturday night, and then said they couldnt go to church in the morning because it was raining. and then one elder was drinking mate during his talk. It was hilarious. For my talent with my comp we did Hakuna Matata. NO one really thought it was funny. but oh well. Hahah anyway, after the elders did somthing else too. they lip synched to a song by Il Divo. it was so hilarious. Regres a mi. Return to me. I laughed SO HARD. Also the grandson of my branch president danced to billy jean exactly like michael jackson. it was hilarious.
Ok so sunday, we went to a baptism and it was so good. Haha i made brownies with dulce de leche and coco again and everone scarfed them! haha everyone told me that i had to make a double batch the next time, and then another lady told me that i am going to be able get married after the mission. thats good to know. haha. The man that got baptized bore his testimony and it was so strong. He said that he wasnt sure if he had a testimony of the prophet. but right before his baptsim he watched a question and answer session in argentina with Elder Bednar. I got to watch a little part of it too. it was so good. Anway this guy said he know that Heavenly Father answers prayers because he received a testimony right before his baptism that he was an apostle of the Lord.
I know too that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. Elder Bednar answered a question about how it is to be an apostle of the Lord and he said he felt completley adequate. Exactly the words I want to use to describe how I feel as a missionary. But he said that no matter what happens the Lord will help us do anything, if we put our trust in him. It hit me so strong. I too know that Elder Bednar is an apostle of the Lord and that the preisthood of God is back on the earth again today.
We were listening to my ipod and the song how could the father show the world played. I really ask all of you to listen to it or read the lyrics. They are so simple and so powerful. I felt the spirit so strong. Right now its my comp and my theme song. she is trying to learn it in english.
Another thing that happened is that i was reading in Helaman and read three verses that really made me feel the comfort from God that He loves me and wants me to be happy. It was so cool!! Because I had just prayed specifically justo antes that i could find scriptures to help me feel better. I know that if we can pray for specific blessings we will receive them.
I know that this work is of the Lord, and because it is His work He will help us. I know now more than ever that the Book of Mormon is true. I know it was written specifically for me. I love to know that and feel that comfort in my life. I know obedience is the key to feel happy in this life.
I love you all. Happy Thanksgiving! Its this week right?
haha i cant believe that christmas is in a month cuz it is still SO HOT HERE. :) and so humid. everything is wet. all the time. haha ok. this isn´t a complaint, its just factual information.
My comp served in santa her first area. she told me it has a heat that is unbearable. welp i guess we´ll see! haha ok love youall.
