My companion talks about sex, about every girl, swears all day long and gets very pissy if he doesn’t have food in his stomach. I don’t fit in too well with these missionaries.

Well, yesterday was Manhattan Day, wow. It’s a cool place. Big. Busy. I went and saw Le Misérables. It was killer and went to the top of the Empire State Building. The night before we spent in Flushing. After our trip to Manhattan, I went to Flushing to pick up our stuff. I got there and waited for my companion to call. They [him and his buddy] were going to have a baptism I thought at 7:30.

This was an interesting time for me. It was like a tug of war on my soul. It was exciting to be a Spanish missionary; or at least the thought of becoming one. I went through a lot of highs and lows in the process of switching from English to Spanish.

Wow, I’m in Flatbush now. When I came to Zone Conference I didn’t expect to come back, but I’m here. I don’t know why, but I still feel bad, like I made a wrong decision, kick against the pricks.

“I did want to talk a little bit about my Spanish. I’m very bad at it. I really on God so much for help and for Him to put the message in people’s hearts because I can’t speak it. I’m continually praying for strength and support. I’m studying so hard. As much as I can bare. He is helping. It’s coming slowly.”
