My first companion is Elder Quinonez. He's a great missionary and has a strong testimony. He's from Guatemala and barley speaks English. That was a weird thing for me this week because this is my first true week where i didn't have English. It actually went pretty great!
It is so dang hot here! Literally I think its worse than my brother Brennens mission. Its super humid which means your hot and sticky allllll day. What I thought was funny is when I got in the shower to cool off. That didn't work. When you hop out of the shower you get hit with a heat wave and straight back to sticky.
The city! its so cool here! Since its so hot everyone here is always outside. There are little shops everywhere that people set up to try and sell stuff. The people here are super friendly and love to talk. Whenever my companion and I see someone we yell Buenas!! which just means hi have a good day.
Teaching is actually going pretty great! I always participate in lessons and bear my testimony as mush as possible. One of my favorite families in Patri, Jesus, and their son Daniel. They are recent converts and and love the church! My first visit with them they thought it was so cool that I was learning Spanish and that I could speak English. I decided to give them an English Book of Mormon and Patri's face lit up! She explained to me that her son was learning English and that this book would be perfect for him. Jesus makes pants for a living and sells them whenever he can. They live in a very humble house and don't have much so we offer what help we can to them.
I love you all and am always praying for you, I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
With Love, Elder Horton
Impressions of Cucuta:
1. Water and milk here are in bags
2. when people drive they drive in zig zags becuase there are pot hols eveywhere
3. every fast food place here is completely decked out and looks like a five star hotel
