Ok so this week has been crazy and weird without a whole lot of stories...It was a very difficult week...the only thing that got me through was having my Patriarchal Blessing...thank you I don't know how you knew to send it but it was the best part of my birthday package...I have been sick most of this week. And you asked me why I am parting my hair on the wrong side...nobody can cut it...miss mom's haircuts.
I got in a fight this week. It was terrible. I was on splits and my comp was on the phone... I placed a card then boom some guy starts yelling at me and my comp keeps walking... he was cussing me out and everything then he spit his beer on me and I just smiled and tried to give a card--then he yelled more, spit on me again and I was trying to keep calm because I´d had such a bad day...(this was Monday) so I walked away and he just slaps me and I just put the card on his chair and walked away. You may begin to understand how awful my week went.
Our schedule goes basically like this...730 wake up, 9 study, 10 comp study, 12 tract, 2 mediodia, 4 tract, 10 return, 1130 sleep. I got the Halloween package and put all the decorations up. We celebrate Halloween here.
So my comp had his last week here and it was super sad...his last week on his mission. You would
have thought that the profeta himself was leaving. We decided that if
the profeta came and Elder Cerqueira were there everyone would rather
talk to him. He was worshipped by this ward.
The Bishop got up and said to everyone that there wasn´t an Elder
that could fill his shoes better than me hahaha so that was nice. So this week I will be
talking in Church. How fun... I´m not all too worried because my Spanish
is rather good at this point. I´ve progressed
so much. My catalá is not where it needs to be but that freaking
language is so hard and I hate it!! All the mission makes fun of Catalá
because it´s soooo ugly and all old people speak it so when you see an
old catalan guy in the street you tell your companion
hey old catalan and then you go contact him and they just scream at you
so loud in catalan!! I am starting to understand it better which probably
is a curse more than a blessing because I know what they´re
saying to us hahaha.
This place is just straight
hood, like this week we saw a woman just getting beat by her husband
like jolín it´s crazy. We tried to help then police got there. The popo
just patrols our streets all night because of all the crime. It´s just
nuts here. Pero, pues mira, es lo que hay. hahah.
We had our baptism but I didn´t feel like I had done much because Elder
Cerqueira baptized him, Elder Ferrer confirmed him and all I did was
invite him to be baptized...but it was great. Sorry I´m working on hand written letters to
everyone right now! So I love you all!
It was transfers yesterday so I wasn't able to email yesterday. I was supposed to pick up my new comp yesterday but he's kind of like Reece and got lost so I am getting him today. (But if he's at all like Reece then he will be one awesome guy cause he's the nicest kid on earth.) The people in my ward on Facebook, hah they all love you and talking to you. They make me
translate everything so they can understand then they have me translate
their message for you. Tell everyone I love and miss them.
Love
Elder Matthews
