Learning from my Companion January 18, 2010

Okay so this week I experienced a heat like I have never felt before in all my life. I honestly thought I was going to melt away one day this week and the good news is that this is just the beginning of the summer. yipee!!!!!

But work wise things are great. I love my companion, I am definitely learning more patient with her as I often feel like I am working with a grandma, but she has such a pure heart. It's hard to get really frustrated with her. She is 25 and has quite the story. Her mom died when she was 4, so her dad took all the kids and gave them out to random families. The lady that raised her would beat her and was horrible to her, she had no friends. It is amazing to hear what a difference the mission has made in her life and it definitely humbles me everyday. For example the other day we passed by a little boat, nothing exciting and she kept pointing it out and talking about it and I was just kind of like yeah, a boat great, and I said, cool and then she began to explain that she had never seen a boat before and how much she wanted to ride in one and I felt horrible. Needless to say I am learning a ton from her.

The work is going well, teaching and working hard. It amazes me how many in actives there are here. It makes me so sad how easily people give up the gospel here. I can't imagine how my life would be with out it.

I love you all and miss you. !!!
