Week 1:
My first area is super neat. The plane ride was for an hour and a half. My trainer is nice and helpful and fun. I'm not allowed to drive because I am blind, which is good. but I will be the official backer-upper for my entire mission. Unless I am ever in a trio. ha.
Week 2:
This week was weird. Easter was good. I had Spanish Easter and YSA
English Easter. For Easter dinner, we and the elders from our Spanish
ward ate with Presidente Azua in the mission presidency. His family is
so funny! They are Hispanic, but we ate America food plus a fancy not
delicious traditional Mexican Easter desert. I even used Spanglish
there. I was forced to tell my conversion story. But rlly not. People
just give me funny looks when I say no. So I did. And they love me.
And they know your name. But I've started saying "You first" when
people ask because EVERYBODY ASKS ME ITS LIKE COME ON. I just want to
be normal sometimes. But it's impossible. It's ok. Because I said
that, presidente did share his story. It was the best story. He's been
a member all his life, but he was converted when he was six on the way
to a tortillaria (...espanol...). Even though he was six, it's the
best story. I loved it.
It actually reminded me of the YSA. Speaking of which... There are 120
or so active YSA in this YSA ward. It's the strangest thing! I thought
it would be super cool to have an English and Spanish ward, but now I
realize that it's all foreign to me.
We do a lot of reactivation in YSA, so we've been meeting with quite a
few less actives. When we do have lessons that don't fall through,
it's fun. Otherwise it is hard.
