1. What is Elder Bonner like? What does he like to do? (like what was he involved in in High School?)
He is good. He really likes to work and its fun being with him. He likes to bike, wakeboard, outdoors stuff and in high school he wrestled.
2. What did you learn from your last companion? Did he finish up his mission?
I learned a lot about how to teach better and taking lots of fotos haha and how we need to enjoy the mission because we only have two years to do it and then never again. He finishes his mission this change so in August.
3. Are you and Elder Bonner the only missionaries in this area or are there others?
Well in our area yes. We are the only ones in the Ward but in the Stake there are other missionaries. We are the zone leaders and so there are others.
4. Do you have someone to wash your clothes in this area or do you do it yourself?
Yeah a sister in the Ward washes our clothes.
The area here is super big and beautiful. I will try taking pictures when I can. Thats good that Stock did good and they were asking about him. Thats sad...I'm going to miss Trey so much. I love that guy and KT but he will probably study there in Utah but still I don't want them to go!!! Dang I miss fireworks... Here they aren't like they are there.. they just blow up here and no colors so I don't really like them but thats alright.
This week was a wild one haha because of the rain and all. I thought that the consejo de liderazgo (leadership council) was super good. I learned a lot and I enjoyed everything that we talked about... the optimism and how we should always have the attitude of working hard and just going. It gave me a lot of energy to work this week and well it was a good week because of that. On Wednesday after the conference we got back super late due to the rain here and not being able to get a taxi or use metro... it was a down pour and we got pretty wet.. The metro was closed down and all the roads were closed. On Thursday and Friday we worked and we found a couple of people through contacts. Saturday we went to El Mirador and did interviews but we didn't feel good at all about how they came out and so we told them that they had to wait a week. I felt good about our decision and how we felt about it because both of us felt that it wasn't right. On Sunday we had two baptisms and it turned out great. This week we should have at the end of the day on Sunday19 baptisms in the Zone so I am super pumped for that. We are going to try to be at some of the baptisms to cheer on our missionaries here but we might not be able to go to all of them haha. We had our zone activity and we watched a video about a football team and how they we need to have a good attitude and we should always push ourselves to our limits. The movie was about a kid named Brock and he bear crawls with someone on his back the entire length of the field and he was only suppose to go to the 50 yard line but they blind folded him and let him go and the coach was pushing him all the way to the end. It was really good and it was a good interpretation that we need to go all the way till we can't anymore. That is what he did and he didn't think he could even do 50 yards but he went all the way and sometimes we need to block out our obstacles and fears and just listen to the Lord and he will take us all the way to the end... so that is my message today.
Love you guys!!!!!
