WELP fam and friends this week has been five star.
First off I want to introduce a little bit my new trainee Elder Galarza
Elder Galarza:
is from Ecuador, Guayaquil
is an artist and loves to paint
is really really skinny
loves superheroes
speaks about five words of english
loves to yell CIELOS BATMAN like "holy crap batman" in english
the kid is honestly 100 percent really really cool. I would say that he was pre-trained because he already is really simpatico with the people and loves to work. He loves loves loves working and bearing his testimony and it just makes me so dang happy.
This week we got to start in our new sector which is Vespucio. We got to meet a lot of the ward memebers and the investigators that the other elders have but unfortunately we know SO LITTLE about the sector that we have been doing a lot a lot of contacting, but it has gone really well. We go out and just work work work work work work and we are having a lot of success. A lot of the investigators that are already here and really good, but it might be hard that they progress, so we are gonna see what we can do with them. Our ward has a bunch of kids that are just about to go on their missions, so I'm pretty sure we are going to have a lot of help in our work here which is so great. ALSO on my first day with my kid, I had a run in with one of my really good friends from waaaaay back when I started the mission, Ignacio Gutierrez (NACHO) and since I don't use a backpack anymore I couldn't take a picture but stay tuned okay. Unfortunately something happened to my camera and I lost a ton of pictures, but the ones that will be on the blog are the ones that survived. This week we had a really cool conference with Elder Texiera, of the Seventy. He spoke Portunol, but I'm a pro with Portunol (apparently this is a mix of Portugese and Spanish) so everything was tranquil. It was a really good conference and it's been cool to use a lot of what he taught us in this last week of work.
FUNNY STORY TIME
When I was teaching Elder Galarza how to do contacts, (Wednesday) I told him that almost 100 percent of the time the easiest way to start a contact is to gain the person's confidence by talking about something random, (something on their patio, or a question) so I did a couple example contacts for him and did small talk or whatever to start the contacts, and my kid walks up to a door and says HEY I REALLY LIKE YOUR SWINGING CHAIR do you like sell them or
and then she was like
no
That's my swinging chair
and he was like
well they don't really have them like that in Ecuador (TOTAL LIE)
and I was almost crying it was so funny
I LOVE to be a missionary and am so glad to be here. I hope you are all doing great and if I can do anything for you let me know hit me with an email.
Elder McCurdy (missionaire extraordinaire)
