Well, my "Father" (Trainer) in the
mission goes home in a week. :( I really miss having Elder Summers as a
companion but I'm so glad I don't have to see him die (go home) in the
mission. Poor newbie Elder Betz has to kill him (meaning being his last
companion) and it's making this poor new Elder miss his home a lot.
Oooooh being on my dirt bike sounds really good right now haha!
Don't worry I'm working hard!
This week was a good one. We taught, we
worked, but oh man I'm dead! Everyone told me that the mission is hard
and that you're always tired. I'm not tired physically, but
it's taken a mental toll on me. The whole day you're just thinking
thinking thinking about Spanish, investigators, what you're going to do next,
trying to discern the spirit. Yeah, it’s tough, but it’s worth it of
course.
To be honest, we don't really have
anyone progressing except Malena, an 8-year-old. She is Jorge's niece
and she's A1. She's excited for her baptism this
Saturday. Just gotta praying that something stupid doesn't happen
(welcome to Argentina hahaha!) Also, I got to go to a zone conference,
but my battery on my camera died :( It was fun to hang with all the
missionaries in our zone as they're all really great guys. I do love
the mission and the people. God has helped me to be hungry for the Spanish
language and I can't wait to be speaking really good. Just
gotta plant the seed and LEAVE IT ALONE...I know God will help me water the
seed as I give it good soil through studies and practice.
Some funny news...we've been going to the gym
every day and eating protein and trying to take care of ourselves, but when the
members are always feeding us noodles and bread, the stomach just gets
huge! Well, let's just say that I'm "bulking up for the winter!".
;)
I want each of you to know this church is
true. I miss family and buddies sometimes, but God has helped me so much
here by just comforting me and blessing me and my family. I know that God loves
you too. Allow yourself to be blessed by being baptized. It's not
that hard!
Love,
Elder Pomar
