FossilLand

Things have been so great. I know I haven't written anything huge in a while and I apologize to everyone. These past few weeks have just been so insane and jam-packed that I not only didn't have much time to write, but I honestly just didn't have the energy.

My new assignment is so demanding. I'm beat, exhausted, drained, (insert any other word possible to describe a state of tiredness). But honestly, this is the best thing I've ever done in my life. I have seen so many lives changed here in my mission, the most impactful being my own.

So yes, I am tired, but am loving every second of it.

My new companion Elder Vela and I are getting along really well. We were both felt pretty much overwhelmed with all of our new responsibility in our calling, and are even finding out little by little new things that we weren't even aware of. But hey, we're learning together and are creating our own leadership style. I don't think I've gone into too much detail about what it is exactly that we do here. Well, here's our week in a nutshell...

Monday: Meetings with President for the first half of the day and then P-Day for the rest of the day.
Tuesday: Morning studies, then traveling to some district in the mission to be at their district meeting, then returning to our area in time to work a few hours in the night.
Wednesday: Same thing as Tuesday, only with some other district.
Thursday: We choose some companionship that's been struggling and travel to their area to help them with their weekly planning session, returning to our area to work a few hours in the night.
Friday: We have our weekly planning session and get to start proselyting in our area a little earlier.
Saturday: Baptisms or church activities, then a normal work day.
Sunday: Dia de Reposo :)

Today we had a great P-Day. Our zone completed it's baptism goals for the month of February (4 of which where from our area, just saying) haha so we got to have a zone activity. Today we went to a place called FossilLand. If you Google it you can find some pretty cool things. We did team building exercises, zip-lining, paintball, and even cave-diving. Huge activity, we're all pretty worn-out, but it was great and all worth it.

I hope y'all had a great week and have a great one to come.
Keep On Keepin' On...
