So the whole training situation is going to be harder than I thought. My new companion isn't doing so well with Dutch and I am left to do everything... But I really only want to help him progress and to grow in the process. The next 6 weeks are really going to try my patience and my diligence but I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to grow closer to my Heavenly Father. I really do want to be a leader, and I know this is only the beginning. I was not expecting this at all. But he is a good kid. A little different, but there is always something to learn. I will keep you posted on our growth together and my personal growth as well. I am finally over Dengue. I was in bed for a week, but I am stronger and healthier than ever. I lost some weight according to all the members and I feel like I look a little thin, but that is okay with me.
I got your package this week!! Thank you!! And it was hilarious to watch the kids eat Cry Babies!. I cried and I wasn't even eating them!
So I had a really amazing experience yesterday with one of the ladies we are teaching, and I was pondering what I could share with her. The thought came to my mind to talk with her about family prayer. And that is what I did. And it was exactly what she needed. She doesn't come to church, and her husband isn't the friendliest man in the neighborhood but it was something small that can and will have a huge impact on her family. And when we were done with our lesson she turned to me and asked, "Elder Garcia, why did you choose to talk to me about this"? and I told her I didn't know, maybe someone upstairs knew that you needed it." The holy ghost is real. And is there to guide us if we will let him!! I love my mission. Even though the next transfer is going to be a battle, I couldnt be happier with where I am!!
Love,
Elder Garcia
