Buendia!
Estaba pensando en escribiendo mi correo en Castellano pero despues pense que problamente nadie podria entender que estaba deciendo entonces voy a terminarlo en ingles!
This week was quite the week of rejection and failure and cancelled appointments haha.. It was kind of a tough week and I think there is a lot that Elder Cac and I can improve on to see more results this week. But I also have to work on not being too hard on myself when others reject our message. But we are working hard and we have a few investigators that have potential. We are working with a guy named Julio who is super awesome and is really familiar with the church because he drives a van that the church always uses to make trips to the temple and what not so the only thing that he needs is to recognize the answer to his prayers. He really likes everything about the church and is willing to follow the truth, he just needs to recognize the answer, so pray for Julio. He is married and has three cute little kids, they are an awesome family. And he was super excited that i know how to play chess so we are going to play sometime haha.
This week I ate duck for the first time which was super good, enjoyed that. And i also found the best facturas (little pastries) that I am probably going to be eating a lot of. They are bread with dulce de leche inside and powdered sugar on top. So good.
Story of the week: I got kissed by a drunk old man.. It was awful. We were walking in the street and all the drunks love us here for some reason. I think its cause we always say hi to them. But he comes up to greet us and he's all excited and he is talking in drunk spanish which is still kind of hard for me to understand. I have gotten sober spanish pretty much down but drunk spanish is a little different. And it didn't help that he didn't have any teeth, but he shook my hand and then started going in for the kiss on the cheek and I got all weird and backed away.. As any normal person would.. And then he got kind of sad and asked if he could give me a kiss on the cheek and I don't know why on earth i did but i felt bad and allowed him to give me a kiss on the cheek. And let me tell you, he really planted one on me.. It was way too long. It was the worst. The funny part was that afterwards Elder Cac had to let him give him a kiss too haha.. But yeah it was awful.. I have since recovered I am pretty sure.
I am loving every day here! My gratitude for this opportunity grows every day and I know that I couldn't be doing anything better with these two years!
Se que este evangelio que estoy compartiendo es el Evangelio de Jesucristo y por medio sus enseñanzas podemos ser felices en este vida y tambien tener un seguridad que estamos en el camino de Dios. Estoy tan agredecido por mi Salvador, Jesucristo. El sufrio para que podemos vencer nuestros debilidades y llegar a ser como nuestro Padre Celestial. Amo Jesucristo, Amo mi Padre Celestial, y amo la obra en que estoy!
Les amo mucho! Que tengan un buena semana!
Con mucho cariño, Elder Cushman
