This last week was a lot different then my four months here in Silao! But a good as well. Elder Morales is a lot different than Elder Paez for sure and I am learning stuff I never knew I didn't know!
This past week we spent a lot of time repairing relationships and making new relationships with the ward members and with less active families and other people here in Silao. This week we kind of just, well I will call it a "get to know you" week. It feels like we have really gained the trust of people here this past week. I have also seen more in this past week of Silao than I ever have before.
I will tell you a little bit about how I am feeling. Truth be told, I am a little overwhelmed but in a good way. I am definitely learning so much from Elder Morales. We are different, but we are beginning to see things eye to eye and he helps me a lot with the language and with learning the lessons in Spanish. He doesn't speak english but he understands it a little, which leaves our talking to solo spanish which is good. I need that and we are doing good.
Right now we have four people that we found just this past week who we think may eventually accept to be baptized this change, so we are excited for this! We don´t have very many others that are progressing so we will see what we can do to change that. It has been a struggle to get investigators to attend church, but we can and will change this so I am very excited for this!
This past week I had my first tacos ever in Silao and other Mexican food! I know...first time! It´s because with Paez he loved American food haha! But also I went to these stores here that are basically in the streets and you can pretty much buy anything that you´d like. In one of them, a little boy was trying to pick pocket me which was hilarious haha because I felt him feeling my pocket and then put his hand inside. I caught him in the act. We also went into a catholic church this last P-day and my comp showed me around and was my teacher for what they do in there! This week, we had to search for a new house because we have to move. While out doing that and trying to also search for people to teach, we were followed by a man for 30 minutes, I thought it was funny, because my comp was a little freaked out!
That's the week fam! I love you all! I have definitely found peace and love from your prayers thank you!
