...here the missionaries call trainers "pais" which of course is dad and the new missionaries their "filhos." So I'm a DAD! Aren't you proud?

 So the best thing that happened this week... I think was maybe a talk I had with my filho. It was real spiritual and we talked about a lot. The worst thing was yet another Saturday with ever appointment falling through and then Sunday noone coming to church with us. Something new is that I have to lead this new missionary on mission life and our area when I hardly know it myself all the while speaking portuguese that is still tripping me up.

Something accomplished is 1 more week the books. The training is HARD! I pretty much have to run the show for now while he gets used to being a missionary. You think that I'm all good and confident but nooooo. I'm always terrified whenever I think too much about what I have to do to help him. But I'm giving it my 100 percent and I come home everyday exhuasted and now I feel like I'm dead. But somehow it'll all work out. Just gotta keep on going until it suddenly ends.

 Oh funny story real quick, so he was in the MTC when kimball was and Kimball told him to look for and Elder Kililiki. So what a coincidence! Man it's weird to think that I was the first one out... but I'm glad I was! I think that's all for this week.

The best part of my week was when we got a bunch of investigators in one day. It was a really good day. The worst thing that happened was that on saturday our schedule was FULL! Literally every hour we had an appointment and every single one of them fell through. Then the Sunday noone came to church with us. So that was frustrating. Something I'm working is doing street contacts, I'm still insecure with the language and it's just something scary for me still. But it's getting better. As for what I accomplished, one more transfer. My patience has grown a bit I thing but not too much. I still get really frustrated with everything but I think that's normal. I'll give you one more thing that I'm really nervous about, I'm going to be a trainer. Just barely got done being trained and now I have to train... I'm kinda freaking out but oh well. Nephi 3:7 will need to come through these next two transfers.

So, this week was somewhat like last week so not too amazing but it was a little better. We didn't really get to teach much because the appointments kept falling through but the lessons we did have were good. So yeah, that was my week.
