New Companion - Elder Pack (12/17/12 Letter)


Hello family and friends !!!

This week went well.  I keep learning that patience is not my strongest attribute. I do have to say that it is a lot better than at the beginning of my mission, but it is still very far from being perfect.  This week I have been trying to figure out why all of our investigators and also the less active members have stopped progressing. I know that all I can do is invite them, but at the same time I should and need to be able to identify the problems that they have and help them knock them down.

So Cesar is having problems still, and I think that it's because he has basically reached a peak and now is rolling backwards. It is sad that this happens.  I want to help him but it hasn't occurred to me how we can help him.  This goes for many of our investigators, but that won't make me give up because really there is no time to be crying about what could have been.

We had changes today and even though I thought with all my heart that we were not going to be getting new companions, I was wrong.  President always does things that I don't expect.  I have a new companion from Honduras.  I'm his second companion.  This is the 3rd person that I have been the 2nd companion to.  I think that president is telling me something ha ha ha.  His name is Elder Espinal.  I haven't gotten to know him at all yet.

Being with Elder Nicholson was good.  It made me learn self control, and I got to see the advancement of my Spanish.  I saw many other things that have progressed.  I hope that I can feel and see a bigger change at the end of my mission to tell you all the truth.

I hope that you all have a great day and week!!!

LOVE ELDER PACK
