This week I am not going to lie was one of the hardest in my mission so far. The office is definitely different. Right now I have two companions one is "training" me, and the other is my companion for a while. Its so hard with my "trainer", he will not come out to the sector, we are suppose to leave the office at 6 every day to go out and work, but he wont, I ve tried every motivation tactic I know how, so finally I was a little mean and just kept nagging, but that doesn't work either. It is really really frustrating. I am trying to stay positive, but its hard. Its also hard because I am still new too its only my 3 rd transfer and he is suppose to be senior companion. In the office where we are at they haven't baptized anyone for a long time i think almost a year. But I know we can do it, I have no doubt in my mind that there are tons of people out there, our sector is awesome, all we have to do is leave the office and go find them. The problem is its so hard to leave and by the time we do I dont even feel the spirit because its such a hassle to leave. But we are just going to keep working hard, this other companion is leaving in two more weeks, so we just have to do our best to help him out, and try to remind him why he is here on the mission. If anyone has any good advice I am willing to hear whatever you got. So on a awesome note we were able to go back to Lebu, for some baptisms. It was really really cool. I got to perform my first actually baptism, not including the temple. It was a really really cool experience. The family is so awesome, it was really hard to leave them, but thats just the way the mission goes. When you start to get comfortable and get your grove it changes. On the mission we are suppose to grow and progress, and we grow and progress the most when we are changed and put out of our comfort zone. I think this will end up being really good for me being in the office. I sometimes feel overwhelmed here, that I cant do some of the things asked of me (driving in Concepcion) jk. but i know that with the Lords help I can do anything. I still really like the mission, even with this new change, and challenge. I appreciate everything, and I hope everything is going well with everyone. I love you all,
