We´re actualy taking over an apartment sister missionaries used to have, which means Elder Bown and i have ourselves a "white wash"... Neither of us have been in this area of Toa Baja before and we´re left to find out for ourselves where everything is. Yup its been a pretty adventures week to say the least... Elder Bown my new companion is a good guy from Brigham City, Utah. He was about 5 months on the mission which means he´s just starting his 3 Transfer, and lets just say he´s still pretty green... That means that now i am officialy senor comp in our companionship. i´m not going to lie, at transfers i was sort of blown away that President didn´t put me with a Latino because i thought for sure i´d be having a Latino companion this transfer, but he decided to throw me a curve ball... To add to the weight on my shoulders he threw us into a white wash area... More then ever i´ve been asking the Lord to help me out so that i have the strength enough to be a good instrument in His hands, and like always he has been coming through. The 1st day i kept on asking myself if i really was ready to become the one doing a big load of the work especialy being the one that speaks more spanish in the companionship. But now that almost a week has past i´m starting to see that i can do it and we´ll be just fine. While we were at transfers i thought i might have been a little young in the mission to take on such a big responsibility, but now i know we´ll make it through just fine. Elder Bown is a really cool guy also which makes it even better. We´re going to learn a lot together and i think we´re going to get along just fine. We sort of have the same personality it seems like so far which makes us get a long perfectly so far. We´re both ready to take on this challenge together and i think that we´re going to great. The past few days of work in Toa Baja ( actualy we live and work pretty much in Toa Alta but our area is called Toa Baja) have gone really good i felt and i think we came across a lot of good potentials that we´ll be able to make into investigators with a little bit of time. Also the members here in this ward are great and at fast and testimony meeting yesterday there were a lot of heart felt testimony´s born. I´m very excited to be working in such a great ward here in the city. Yup i said city.. This area is a lot more city then anything i´m used to after having been in Utuado for so long. We still touch a little compo every now and again but mostly its city life. Its been a big change in areas thats for sure but i´m definately looking forward to the adventure !
Sounds like the Lopez home is just full right at the moment also. Tell everyone hi for me and wish them all the best. I hope everyone starts to feel better also. Thanks for all the prayers and support!
With Love,
Elder Lopez
