This week has been pretty good. I got a new companion and I am training now. My companion is Elder Campos from Costa Rica. I think he is the tallest companion that I have had but he is still pretty short compared to me haha. I have kind of had a hard time guiding the area but I feel like we had a decent week. My companion is getting better at teaching every day, but I feel like I need to let him talk more even if he only gives short parts. We have been doing a lot of practices in the 12 week program and he is getting better. I feel like I have set a good example for him in doing things right, but I need to teach him how to do things better. I am still getting used to training, but I know that little by little I will get a hold of it. I now have a new record in contacts after this week. I have never talked so much in my life, and it’s awesome. My companion is a little shy with new people and I was too when I started but I hope to help him lose his shyness so that he will be able to have more success. It is kind of hard having to do everything and trying to teach my companion at the same time, but it’s fun and I’ve always liked to do things my way haha. I have never worked so hard in my mission and I’m loving it. Training gives me more motivation to do things right and to set a good example. The weather here has been really cold, and my hands are always freezing.
Love, Elder Monson
