It was like the
weirdest thing ever. It felt really unreal. Especially since the days
after I spent with Elder Velazquez, another elder who´s comp went
finished up the 2 years. Preeeeeetty weird. It feels like I should see
him again in like a zone conference later on cause it was just a normal
transfer, but it´s not really that simple. A major bummer. But it was
good to get to know him and work with him for the time we had. But now
transfers were this morning and I have a new comp!! His name is Elder
NEWBIE CAUSE I AM TRAINING!!!!!
JK his name isn´t Elder Newbie, just I don´t know
who it is yet cause they get here tomorrow. BUT I AM PUMPED! I will have
another kid and Elder Galleguillos will have a brother! Training was
really fun and a great experience (I LEARNED SOOOOOO MUCH) so I am
really excited!
SPANISH LESSON FOR THE WEEK: Baptize (the verb) in
spanish is "Bautizar". Baptism (the noun) is "Bautismo." Everyone here
says "Bautizo" and it is SO FRUSTRATING not really lol but like for
real. We joke aobut it, saying that "bautizo" is the little
flick-water-on-the-forehead thing and "bautismo" is the thing that
Christ did. It is funny/obnoxious, especially when the people testify in
Sacrament meeting about "bautizo" which totally doesn´t exist BUT ITS
FINE.
So I don´t really know what to say aobut htis week. I totally got to eat turkey leftovers on Friday, which was cool. Thursday
for sure was not a Gringo thanksgiving, but I totally ate turkey and
mashed potatoes and stuffing (but the stuffing totally had the insides
of an animal which isn´t too gringo but it´s all good) and then to top
it off, they had nice gringo ice cream and PUMPKIN PIE. I haven´t liked
pumpkin pie in like 10 years but MAN that was one delicious piece of
pumpkin pie that I got.
I hope everyone is doing great! Please, always
remember to do the small stuff! Read your scriptures, pray at least 3
times a day on your knees, and do the little things to keep the Spirit
in your life and keep him guiding you! Here are some powerful words of
one of my buddies, Elder Salazar that he said during a district meeting
this week: "Ignoring impressions of the Spirit doesn´t come from fear,
it comes from pride. It comes from us thinking we know better, but we
just simply don´t." Ouuuuuuuuch.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Elder Pratt
PS Lotsw of love to the Trounce family. Keep them in your hearts and in your prayers. We love you guys!
