Wednesday: I got my new companion! He is from New Zealand and his name is Elder Merito. He's a pretty cool dude and a hard worker, and he is only one transfer older than me in the mission. We both know enough of the language to get around and talk to people, but when it comes to tracting, oh man its hilarious. There are definetly a lot of really awkward moments, and a lot of moments were we both have no idea whats going on. We spent most of the day boating back up to our area and walking into shore. Since it was low tide and since the boat was really heavy, we had to put our bags on our head and walk about 3/4 of a mile into to shore in about thigh deep water. Wow thats a workout because its not like you can set you bags down to take a break. If you do drop your bags then all your stuff gets ruined haha.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday we spent showing my companion around our area, meeting members, and tracting in an all Catholic town. Let me tell you that trying to tract an all Catholic town with 2 Elders who are alright at the language is definitely an experience. We played a lot of Sorry with people hoping to get a lesson out of it. Let me tell you about the childrens game your all familiar with and how intense it gets in this country. So basically you have a normal game of Sorry going except all the people you play know how to count cards which means they know all the cards in your hand and the can keep cards you need away from you. So basically if you don't know how to count cards, you might as well go home haha. That is what my companion and I are trying to learn how to do right now.
Well thats pretty much it for this week, not a lot happened because we have only been here since Wednesday.
Love you all
Elder Jeppson
