Elder Medina

Aight what's goin' on everyone?!? Hope the last 2 weeks was great, sorry I didn't email last week, I got caught up in a ton of stuff.

So my mission has taken a big ol turn. Decided to change my attitude about everything and I have been 10x more happy and joyful everyday. It's really just a mentality, like most things in life. Choose to be happy everyone, trust me, it works wonders!!!!!

First off, I have a new companion, his name is Elder Medina and he is super dope!! He is really experienced and leaves in 4 month, about the time I've been out.  He is from New Mexico/Texas. He has amazing spanish and english so it's a great wombo combo. I'm super excited for this transfer, we get along great and are doing great work!! 

Speaking of great work, my comp ate it so hard on his bike. We were biking and he tried to go up a small curb and ended up going head over heels face first into the concrete. I pulled up to him and he had blood all over him. Don't worry everyone, he's  completely okay, but he was bleeding a ton. I'll put a picture so view discretion is advised..... Also my old comp, (who is still living in our house) ate it hard too. Ended up destroying his elbow and basically his entire arm. He's okay but it's pretty beat up. idk if I'll put a picture of that one cuz it's pretty.... yikes. 

Anyway we had a lesson with Patricia this week, and it went really well!! We basically were in the park for like 2 hours for the lesson. It was super long and we were basically answering a ton of questions she has about the Book of Mormon. There were some tough/weird questions I would not have thought of asking, lol, but it was good!! The problem with her is that now she is working and can't come to church anymore which is hard to work around. We are going to have to do something about that here pretty soon. We have another lesson this week so we'll see how it goes.

Also with Jessica, I think we are going to have to drop her. Unfortunately, she's not willing to take the time to come to church even if we provide a ride for her, and she hasn't been reading the Book of Mormon so it's hard to continue teaching her. We are going to try to reignite the flame of motivation she had before, but we'll see.

Today for P-day we are headed to play pickleball with the Sisters because it's one of the Sister's birthday's today!! So I'm super excited for that, along with playing basketball later as well. Went to Walmart at 6 am this morning for groceries.

I hope all is well!! Spanish is coming along nicely, understanding right now is probably the hardest part. Good part is that I can get my point across 90% of the time which is good!! Just trying to keep practicing speaking all the time and exposing myself to a ton of Spanish. So progress is coming!!

Aight everyone, have an amazing week!!!!!

See ya,
Elder Harbertson
