Last Month in Training!

January 2, 2012

Hola,

Another great week here in Panama, and I find myself writing you all again! Wow, time is going by really fast! I found out the other day, that this is my last month in Training, and it got me both excited and nervous. The excited part, is because that means that I´m no longer going to be in Training, and I get another change in San Vicente! The Nervous part, is that President told me that I´m going to have a Latin Companion who doesn´t speak English! I know that it will be good for helping me learn Spanish, but I´m really nervous, because it´s going to be a whole different world living with someone who I can barely communicate with. Well, the Latin companions are supposedly the best teachers of the gospel in the Mission, but they aren´t as good with obeying the rules as the Amercans are. I know that sounds racist, but President even said that Latin Comps. are some of the best, and some of the laziest Missionaries in the Mission. So yeah, we will see!
Anyway, this week has been pretty good. It´s a little sad cause we had to drop a family this week because they weren´t keeping any of the commitments, but hopefully we will find more positive families to teach. Right now we have a few people who we are teaching who are really positive. We just need them to accept a baptismal date, and all will be great! We think that we might be able to set a baptismal date for 2 families, and 3 other people in the next week or two. So I´m really excited about that! On the other hand, we started contacting in a new neighborhood, and it´s a tough one. The people there are rock solid Catholics who know nothing about the Bible!!!! This one guy told us that we don´t believe in Christ, we preach evil, and that the Bible says that the Catholic Church is the only true Church. The word "Catholic" doesn´t ever appear in the Bible! Not even once!!! Well, I don´t like Bible Bashing, but I have to say, it´s not a hard thing to do here...
Well, sorry everyone, but I don´t have much time this week. I had some computer problems, so I have to cut it short this week. I hope you are all doing okay! Tell Cody and Kamille that I hope they get feeling better! I love hearing from all of you and can´t wait to hear from you next week! Love you all! Have fun! Til Next Time!

Love Trevor

P.S. Sorry, no pics this week, I don´t have my SD card with me!
