Ok, so this week has been all over the place....and I only have a little time in the mission and I’m training!!! My new elder is Elder Segovia from L.A. He already speaks Spanish too so training is going to be cake! So I found out that I was going to train last Tuesday. I knew it was coming too, the DL said Elder Hauser you’re leaving, and I said and I am training right, and I sure am! So on the bus on the way home from District meeting, the assistants called me and said Elder Salinas, your getting a local comp for a week because your comp didn’t come because he doesn’t have his visa yet. So I went to the office to get my local comp and he didn’t show up. So I took a taxi back out close to my area by myself and spent the day with Elder Patterson who came in my group and his new comp who came the change after me. Then that night we took another taxi to the office and I got my new local comp. Elder Morinigo....he leaves in January to go to Dominican Republic on the mish. Yesterday, I took elder Morinigo back to the office and got my real comp. I was really bummed out that I couldn’t be a part of the first day for the missionaries and when they get to meet their trainers and stuff, and the trainers learn how to train the missionaries but it was ok, I just sat in President Callan’s office for like an hour yesterday and talked with him about it. He said “Elder, if I get any kind of revelation, it’s about the trainers. SO don’t feel like you can’t do the job. So I guess I am able to do the job!
Also another highlight of the week, I saw Elder Heiner at the bus station or the terminal. He is also training, out of the 23 of my group, Me, Elder Heiner, Elder Stevenson (from Nampa) and Elder Clark we are all training. So I get to see them in like 3 weeks when we go back to the office for a meeting with the new missionaries and the trainers.
We do get to take money out today, and last week I really screwed up. I went to take out 100,000 guaranies or 20 bucks well I hit the 1,000,000 guaranis so I took out 230 bucks, the dollar is worth more right now so I took out less money but I’m still pretty mad I took out 230 bucks, it’s locked away in my suitcase so I won’t use it unless I buy something nice. So the money that anyone gives me for Christmas put it in my savings and I won’t take any of that out! And today we are going back to the office because the office elders messed up and didn’t do my comps papers so back to the office today, hour long bus ride.....what a joy and so fun to do on MY p-day!!!
So today the weather is nice because it is cloudy but usually it’s a good 100 lowest and it’s about to start getting up to 115 every day!!!!
I will load a picture of me and my new companion, ooooh and also I found a paintball arena in my area and this gigantic canal that’s way deep, when you are down in the bottom, looks like you are in the jungle, when I have time to explore it I'll take some sweet pics.
And today we are going to Pan Cholos, hamburger place....for 25,000 guarani or like 6 bucks I’m going to buy a meal that is the same size as the big Jud's hamburger!!!!!!
Good luck at wrasslin this week, And when he is at Reno, he better not lose the match to place!!!
I will get a package tomorrow at district meeting, I paid for it last week, I think it is from Saige, she sent me a something a long time ago, so maybe I’ll pay for your package tomorrow mom!!!! haha can’t wait! Can’t believe that is December already.
That’s about all for this week, I’m gonna write a little to dad and to grandma....
Love you mom
Not many days till we get to talk!!!
