Guatemala FINAL

Wed., August 11, 2010

So... I become a full-blown missionary in like what.. 5 days? Weird.
It is strange to think of entering the mission field. Like it hasn't
exactly hit me yet. But it will. Earlier this week I hadn't wanted to
go out just yet. I just wanted to stay here for a week or two more.
Which is strange to me but yea. Then, we went and did street contacts
again. Im not as far as others in my Spanish but I am still doing good
at a great rate. I didn't think I was as far as I was till I went and
did these contacts. My problem - and I know this is weird and against
the usual norm, but I am weird and against the usual norm I guess haha
- is that I can speak much better than I can understand. I can
generally get across an idea that I need to, but my problem was that
when people speak, it's like a whole long word of no understanding.
But when we did contacts, I could pretty much understand most of what
was said and actually contribute more this time. I don't know if we
touched anyone's souls that day, but at least to me it was a
confirmation that I am ready for the field.

As much as I don't know, I don't believe I could learn much more from
this place. It is time to move on to the next phase. And I'll be going
to a new country again! It will be interesting to see the differences.
I know I am ready and that now is the time to move on to the next
thing and to begin to help real people instead of fake practice
investigators. Kind of scary at the same time but I know that if I
continue to follow the Lord then He will direct my paths, so long as I
do my part.
