This week was absolutely loco! So if I remember right it was Wednesday morning we got a call from the assistants to the president and they said that my comp and the two zone leaders that live in the house with us had transfers. So yeah, they all left. Haha. So now I have a new comp and two new zone leaders. The zone leaders names are Elder Pava, who was my zone leader in Manta and also Elder Pincock who was a missionary in this zone so I know both of them, that was nice with the whole change. My comp is a lot different than my old comp. My new comp is a Gringo too! It's nice to have an American comp honestly. His name is Elder West. He is from Utah, Heber City. He is super cool and has 11 months in the mission. He's fluent in Spanish and doesn't have a Gringo accent when speaking Spanish. It's dope. We get along really well and both love hunting!!! That part is a bonus haha. We have been working really hard these past couple days to get to know people like the members and investigators, and trying to find people to teach also. There's a lot more English now, haha so that's good.
My Spanish is getting a lot better. I can understand what people are saying so that's really nice. Obviously not everything, but I can get the general idea of what people are talking about. When I'm talking and teaching people it's hard to respond most of the time cause I can understand, but I'm still trying to put stuff together in my mind so it's rough sometimes. But, better and better every day.
Yesterday morning their was another earthquake. It's so crazy cause there was like none for my first two months and now its weekly. It's pretty cool. We were just sleeping and about 6 in the morning my bed started shaking for like 10 seconds. It was cool. I woke up and said Elder West "hay un temblor."... and then he said, "cool" and we went back to bed for another half hour. Sleep is very precious.
So that was my week pretty much and all is going well. I hope all of your week is going great! Don't forget to pray. It really makes your days better, trust me. It's almost Christmas too, so that's super exciting! We have a Christmas tree in our house. Alright, love you all! bye!
