Thanksgiving or Not? November 23, 2009

hahaha, I didn't even realize it is Thanksgiving this week. Time surely flies by.

Things were great this week, my new companion and I worked like beasts, it felt so good to come home knowing I had worked my hardest every day this week. I love being a missionary. It is hard at times to watch my investigators make wrong choices, decide not to act on their faith, but overall it is amazing to help them feel a part of the Lord's love for them. My Spanish is coming along pretty well, the Lord has truly blessed me to able to learn. I understand almost everything now it's still hard to speak perfectly but practice makes perfect. Sometimes I can't remember words in Spanish or English. It is great fun.

We are teaching a senora right now who lost her son about a year ago and has terrible depression. It truly is a testimony to me that the Lord has prepared me to help the people I find here, and that I have a purpose and a job to do here in Panama. I am so blessed to be here.

My companion is from Nicaragua and has been telling me all about her home. Kyle is in good hands. She does speak a little different than my other companion, I don't notice too much of a difference in the accent but she uses a lot of different words. I love her, she is a fat short little thing that has housewife written all over her, she loves to cook and is really motherly. She has taught me to cook something which is awesome and we have a lot of fun together.
