Dear Family and Friends,
Well, this week Elder Benosa and I spent a lot of time getting lost. We are both relatively knew in the office and there are a lot of places in the mission that we have never been before. We need to visit all the apartments in 5 zones every month. We spent a lot of time having missionaries explain really obscure landmarks over the phone while we were driving through all these towns and cities for the first time. It has been quite the learning experience and I have definitely learned a lot about being patient (with myself). We're getting the hang of everything, and hopefully we will be able to be a lot more efficient with our time next month. I have also become an expert in buying small kitchen appliances and politely turning down employees in the SM (large department store) who are always trying to sell us more stuff.
On a more serious note though, I feel like I have really come to enjoy the work in the office, and anytime that we can get out and work is a real treat. We had the chance to go out and actually tract and do some finding. Let's just say that it was the most excited I have ever been in the mission to talk to some people. Our main goal is to be as efficient as we can be so that we can go out an visit people. Sometimes it is kind of hard to get out and visit after drivng and doing office work all day, but it is always worth it.
One of the props of being in the office is that we get really good food. There were actually two other people in the office who had birthdays right around mine, so we had a big event in the mission home. We actually got to eat spaghetti that wasn't sweet and cake that was made out of flour that came from wheat. It may not sound like it, but it was a really big deal.
Everything is going well and my companion and I are finally starting to get the flow of things. Thanks for all of your birthday wishes!
