So this week has been stuffed with stuff, but nothing like anything I´ve ever experienced before. So the time in the mission is divided "changes." Every change last six weeks. And the first two changes of your mission is your "training," where you´re learning how everything is. In your training you have an older, more experienced missionary as your trainer to teach you how to do everything and to help you learn. So I just finished my second change in the mission field, which means I´m out of my training! I´m a regular missionary now...except I´m not. We just had companionship changes today, and guess what...I´m training. So I just got out of my training, and now I´m training another missionary. It´s super funny, and I really did not expect that to happen even though a lot of other people told me I was going to train. So now I´m with Elder Vargas from Bolivia. He´s super great. He already has one change in the mission, so I´m finishing his training with the second one. So he´s not completely new, but he is still pretty fresh and still learning a ton. I´m super excited to be with this guy.
Not only did I switch companions, but I´m in a new area too! This area is called Palmar. and it´s in a Zone called Santa Lucia. It´s on the coast of Guatemala, which means it´s super hot, and super humid. The difference is huge; it´s sooo humid here. But it´s a super awesome area. Way more people, and a ton more civilization. Now I get to meet all of the people here. It was pretty hard to leave the people in Jocotillo. I´d only been there for three months, but I already love those people so much. And the fact that people actually cried when they learned that I was leaving...I´m not gonna pretend I didn´t shed a few tears with them also. But they´re great. I´m gonna miss that area a ton, and all of the people especially. But now I get to do everything new again, which is gonna be super fun. This area seems super great, and I´m gonna learn a TON.
We also went to the temple again, which we only get to do twice a year. It was super special, especially because this time it was in Spanish. It´s a different language and even a different country, but the feeling in there is exactly the same. It´s super happy and really great, just how things of God always area. Afterward, the zone took a group photo, except Elder Croft and I weren´t there yet. So we took our own group photo. I also took some great pictures with the kids and the mom of the familia Gomez before I left. They´re super special to me.
