We had stake conference Saturday and Sunday. The second counselor in the stake presidency started bajando la caña (dropping the cane, or getting after people) because they weren´t attending the temple as often as they could. He said that they have 2 temples really close and they really have no excuse to not be going every so often. That got me thinking, because the two closest are in Cordoba, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile, both of which would take forever to get to. At home we have 2 temples closer than the people have chapels here. So a way to be grateful for this is by going to the house of the lord doing family history. Just a thought.
This week is Elder Leytton´s last week. It´s been pretty slow and he´s pretty pumped to go home still. He´s got a lot of stuff to do to leave the mission. Today we´re gonna go to guaymallen (where he was zone leader) and visit some of his conversos (hopefully an asado too). Transfers will be this Sunday, and I will be sure to let you all know how it all goes down because to be completely honest, I have no idea what happens or where to go or what, but it´ll all be good.
This week my nickname, Ders, has started blowing up.
Everyone in my district calls me Ders and it´s started spreading to my zone. I
don´t really mind, it´s actually kinda funny. And every time I cook something
for Elder Leytton, Lafleur, and Healey, it automatically gets the name
"Ders ____" . For example, we had Ders Burgers and Ders Dogs the other
day. One time I tried to make pizza, and it was disgusting, so we can´t talk
about Ders Pizza because it´s so bad. But yeah, I´m pretty sure Ders will be my
name for the rest of the mish, haha.
There was a giant spider in our pench the other day. It was HUGE. But we killed it before the eggs hatched. lol there were no eggs but it was huge and I have a picture to send.
Anyway I´ve learned quite a bit from my trainer, Elder
Leytton. He had a lot of responsibility on his mission, he was district leader
for a while and zone leader for 6 months before I was his comp. He´s just
burned out. I´ve learned a ton of Spanish, (i can always understand and respond
now) and I´ve also learned things to know on the mission. this next transfer
I´ll put them into play, and with the strength of the Lord, I know I´ll be
fine. I know sometimes I get frustrated with Elder Leytton but looking at the
positives doesn´t make it so bad.
I think that´s it. i´ll let you all know what happens with transfers, I think that Sunday they will call, and by Wednesday I´ll be settled in a new area. Anyway, have a good week, go to the temple, and be safe. You´re all in my prayers.
Love, Elder Anderson
