well, this week wasn´t too exciting. so yeah i was a little sick, and really i don´t know why. it´s super weird. it´s never anything too bad, but i´m wondering if it´s still just my body getting used to the food or the water is weird or something, i´m not sure. but i´m good now, so no big deal :)
but yeah not too much happened this week. like i thought was gonna happen, my trainer, elder oliva, left, and i am staying here and i got a new companion. but for tuesday, the day before cambios, elder oliva just packed most of the day, and then we were supposed to be in the house before like 8 so we could get the phone call of who was leaving and whatnot, so we didn´t really do too much on tuesday. then wednesday came along, and it´s a little exciting waiting to see who´s going where and who gets who and stuff. so we all had to go to Panamá City, to the church there, where we have like a little talk from president and a couple little things like that, and then a movie with all the areas and all the missionaries and everything. so yeah anyway it gets to my area, and they take away elder oliva, and put in...elder aguilar! he´s from mexico, has about 5 months in the mission, and is actually almost a year younger than me.
so i was super pumped to get a new companion, i´ll be honest. i didn´t think elder oliva and i were doing too well, and i could tell he was frustrated with my spanish. so yeah it was time for a change. but to be honest again, i already want him back haha. i can already tell this is gonna be a super long 6 weeks. he does a lot of things that just irritate me. he has like 4 months more in the field, but already i feel like i can teach better. he just does things that i don´t understand. and then he jams out too all this pretty bad music, doesn´t get up until like 7 30, all this stuff that just isn´t what a missionary should do. i don´t get it. he´s a nice enough kid, so i don´t know how to bring it up or how to change it. maybe trev has some advice for how to get along with companions you don´t like haha.
so yeah really other than that not too much happened. with our tentative baptismal date, not sure what´s gonna happen there. it´s not until the 24th, so we´ll just keep working with her and we´ll see i guess. and ya know i´m not sure if we do daylight savings time. no one has told me to change my clock so i hope we don´t haha. and feel free to get a new mower, not sure why though, what´s wrong with the old one? but i was just looking at those pictures, and everyone looks different! karissa is going with the bangs now huh? well everyone looks good, and i guess my cardboard cutout is ok :)
well sorry this isn´t very exciting. it was a boring week. i hope everyone is doing well. i hope everyone has a great week!
much love,
elder paskett
oh hey, i thought i´d tell you about my area a bit though. well more tell you where you can look it up haha. so we´re right next to chagres national park. we´re in like the west southwest side, in a place called vigia. don´t know if that helps, but hey there ya go! have a good day!
