Mission Week 23, Bogota City Week 6, "New Companion from Peru."

My companion left this Thursday to go stay with the assistents of the president. He leaves tomorrow in a plane! I spent the rest of the week with the zone leaders in an area called Chia (Chi Chi Chi CHIA). I was with Elder Vincent and Elder Rodriguez. Elder Vincent is from Brigham City Utah and Elder Rodriguez is from Cochabamba Bolivia.

​I also got to talk with Hermana Lima (standing next to me in the pic), she's from Sao Paula Brazil. I remember trying to have a conversation with here during my time in the CCM but we both couldn't speak very well since we we were both trying to learn Spanish. It was a cool experience having a conversation with her in Spanish after 6 months!

During my time with the zone leaders we had a lot of success teaching many lessons. I'm a little bummed out since I lost a week in my area... But on the bright side we got a baptismal date set for one of the investigators in Chia. Elder Rodriguez knows how to cook really good food. This Sunday he made us banana hamburgers (it's a plantain but it's pretty much a banana). That whopper was packed with bacon, chicken, and meat from some animal. 

​
I'm back in Cedros now with my new companion. His name is Elder Rodriguez. He's 22 years old and he's from Arequipe Peru. This man looks like he wants to punch you in the face when you first see him but don't be mistaken, he's super tranquilo. 

​
I'm still the junior companion, but I have to lead since my comp doesn't know our investigators. It feels weird taking charge , but I like it. We're going to work like MULAS!!!

Love you all and hope you have a greate week!
