Well, today marks the end of my first week in the mission field! My area is
Santiago De Maria and my zone is Usulutan.
When we first stepped off the plane, I could instantly feel the humidity,
and once we got outside to meet President and Sister Glazier my glasses fogged
up! We got in at about 9ish, and the Elders slept at the mission office while
the Sisters got to sleep at the President's house.
The next day, we had the privilage of attending the San Salvador Temple
with President and Sister Glazier! It was an awesome experience and the temple
was beautiful! After we finished our session, we went to President Glazier's
house to receive missionary training for the rest of the day. We were allowed to
write to say that we arrived, but I wasn't able to because there wasn't enough
time and only one of the President's computers was working.
On Wednesday, we had a change meeting where we found out our
companionships. I ended up being in a trio! My trainer/"dad" is Elder Aldridge
from North Carolina and the other Elder in our companionship/"my twin" is Elder
Sarceño from Guatemala. Elder Aldridge got assigned to train both of us!
Things have been great this past week. At first, it was really hard for me
to understand people because they talk fast and mumble sometimes, but I've been
praying for help to understand, and I know that the Lord has helped me. Now, I'm
able to understand better, and I know that I'll only continue to improve!
Yesterday, we had four investigators at church, which Elder Aldridge told me is
the most we've ever had! I love the work, and I can't wait for our first
baptismal date in two weeks!
¡Levantate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!
Love,
Elder San Diego
