So I received my new companion- and wow this week has been such a growing one. Well, lets start with him. He has less than six months in the mission and he is our new district leader. He has done some really good work I guess, and Pres. Milder has seen a lot of potential in him. So I was exspecting this amazing man to show up. Let's just say he is a little different and has had fights with every single one of his companions. And he likes to talk about how he is the best missionary in the mission because he is a district leader with only 6 months. ha ha And after the first day in the feild with him I went to take a shower and while showering got emotional. I was thinking to myself "how much more can the lord ask of me? I am trying to be patient . And now I have a companion like this." So I started to sing in the shower a song that I love. . . "When true simplicity is gained, to bow and to bend we shant´ be ashamed. And to turn, turn, will be our delight, till by turning, turning, we´ll come round right." I realized that if I want to make this companionship work- I need turn, turn , to come round right. Or in simple terms- I need to be humble, teachable, and make adjustments to help my companion. I then realized that from this transfer I could learn so much from him. So I left the shower in a great mood. The next day I was talking to my Zl, Elder J. Oliveira. He asked about my companion. I told him how things were going. Elder J. Oliveira then told me what Pres. Milder sees in me. He sent me this companion because he sees a lot of potential. He sent him to me because he wants him to learn to be a humble, patient and loving missionary. So this last week has already been a great experience! I have learned so much. I just know that the lord puts us in situations so we can learn and grow. And after the tough times, we're just a little better prepared for our future. He has given me wonderful opportunities to learn to be a patient and humble person and I am so grateful! I have also been studying the talk by Elder Worthin about charity. The talk when he was all shaky. Remember? I really started this week to just love him . . . to death ha ha and I have already seen drastic improvements in his attitude.
