First Week In The Field

Hola amigos(hello friends)

Great first week in the field. First off, I am in a hotel! It's not the greatest but it is home. It's the same hotel that elder hunt was in. He left the day I got there so I just missed him. I am speaking the Español. My trainer is elder baker and has pretty cool dude. He's a really hard worker and has waisted no time putting me to work. I feel like a little puppy just following him around and understanding nothing. I love it. All I do is pray and say my testimony when he tells me. I'm in the San Ross D area and it is verry large. Hehe. I think the hardest thing is getting the courage to open my mouth and try and talk people even tho I don't really know how to say stuff. My awesome bishop let me say the prayer in sacrament meeting and say the sacrament prayers also. My pronunciation was probably horrible but I did it. 

We are teaching allot of people and have 4 people on date for baptism. It's a really busy area and there is much work to be done here. I don't really do much other than look confused and nod my head once in a while to look like i understand what's going on. I can follow and participate in discussions about the gospel put whenever it goes into other things im lost. 

We were in a hotel with all the new missionaries on Tuesday night and then on Wednesday we met our comps and went to work. My comp said that compared to his other mission this mission is soooo stricked. It's that that big of a deal to me but the one thing I love is that we can listen to any music without swear words. It's kind of awesome. 

The loaner phone I have is not the best phone. I love my comp but I am doing lots of dishes if you know what I mean. They are pretty stricked with the covid stuff as well but it's not that big of a deal.

I don't have any pictures so I'll try to get some for you all next week. The dudes in my district are awesome and hilarious. My trainer is the district leader as well. Spanish is hard.
