Dear Family,
I didn´t get transferred!!! I think God heard my prayers because almost all of my zone (the biggest zone in the mission) was transferred. I really wanted to finish what I started here...
Now, you may be asking yourselves what I started here. I think I mentioned that I had a little talk with the Bishopric here in Belen. In this little talk with the Bishopric, I had the chance to talk about how we have been abandoned. No one ever wants to help us, including the leaders. We don´t have any support. So I think I touched their hearts with my slightly hard words, because they gave me the opportunity to speak in church. So the bishop gave me permission to speak very directly. I spoke yesterday and had a really cool experience because the Spirit was filling my mouth with words. We can already see a little bit of a difference and we have really high hopes!
So, I finally broke the wild horse!!! My companion now respects me and actually listens to me. We almost never have problems and I think he is learning how to have social skills. So another transfer here should go just fine...
Anderson is really progressing a lot and is really excited to be baptized! The other day, my companion asked him a very direct question... He asked him how many guerillas he´s killed... I couldn´t believe he asked that because I imagine it could be a pretty sensative subject. But he opened right up and told us all about his job. He didn´t tell us a number, but he decribed a lot of really cool things. It was really interesting to talk to learn all about what he does. Then we started talking about guns, which I really enjoyed.
Oh yeah, the subject of this email is the word that I have implemented into my vocabulary this week. ¨Q´hubo!¨ It is the closest equivalent to, ¨What´s up!¨ that I can find. Sometimes, words just start jumping into my vocab...
Well thats about it for this week... Love you all and hope you have a good week!!!
Love,
Corey
