Hey everyone! i hope yall had a great Thanksgiving! Elder Patterson and i had a pretty good one! Holidays in the mission are the best! Depending on the holiday, we sometimes get the whole day off, Thanksgiving was like that! in the morning, 4 zones of missionaries gathered to play football, how american right? i didnt play tho, my knee/leg has been bothering the heck out of me, and i dont really enjoy it. We ate some good food later on in the day (no tomales tho😣) and a 6 we gathered to watch a movie and play basketball, it was pretty fun.
Well unfortunately, our investigators didnt pass their interviews, so we have to continue working with them. it was really sad for us, because we want them to have this in their lives, just coffee is stopping them, and i few minor things too. They are great people, and ive really learned to love them alot. i mean ivee been working with them for almost 3 months now! It will be such a great time when they are ready, ill prolly cry.
Yesterday ended my Senior Week! I think i did pretty good! E. Patt said so( however i cant ever tell if hes lying or not lol😅). But with thanksgiving in the way, i still think i had a productive week. Hopefully president doesnt think i suck, thats all i worry about lol. It was an eye opening experience to be The Senior Companion for a week. I had to plan everyday, i had to start everything, and pretty much just take over the whole thing. it was hard, but it was definitely a good thing, and i learned alot from it!
I went on exchanges with one of our Zone leaders, Elder Paxton. He is a Phenomenal missionary! His Spanish, is soooooooooooooo good. Hes been out about 16 months i think, i just hope i can be as good as him at spanish. He definitely gets my " Most likely to go camping award" (because hes so INTENSE😂, you know that one was funny c'mon).
Thats one thing that is not always great, is when youre so focused you forget to have fun, intensity is good only to a certain level, you know what i mean?
Well transfers are next week, and that means i finish training! Finally amiright! Ill probably be getting a new companion, but we wont know till saturday night, and literally, anything can happen, so we cant get hopes up or anything. Elder Patterson has been in this area for almost 6 months, so we think hes about to leave, pero, vamos a ver!
I do feel like my spanish is getting pretty good, but i cant ever tell how good. I know im no where near super good, but id say decent.
While getting my hair cut today i talked to the owner in spanish (shes colombian) and she said my pronounciation was good, and i was like, Shoot, stop it lol. However she cut my hair a tad to short( its still pretty long but i was trying to grow it out as much as i could) it doesnt look bad its just shorter, i crie.
I still got alot to learn, but im pretty sure im growing fast. and its pretty fun too, when you can just speak in spanish the whole time and understand, its the best feeling ever!
Well thats about it, have a great week!
Elder Brad Bailey
