This week was pretty good. Getting used to everything has been really tiring but it has all gone well.
San Benito is about the size of Newberg. It also has the same kind of lay-out with a downtown area and then some country outskirts area as well. It has a branch. We meet in a remodeled furniture store that has been turned into a church building.
My companion and I are the first elders in this branch in 3 or 4 years. So it has been pretty cool meeting everyone.
My new companion is Elder Casillas. He is from Mexico and doesn't know very much English. We have such a good time. We also live with 2 other missionaries in our apartment, so we have a blast.
My birthday was good. I got the package. It was everything I needed. Fanny messaged you? That is pretty cool! (A member from Brownsville had messaged me wanting to know Jaden's favorite dessert so they could give him a treat for his birthday. I have a tender spot for the people in Southern Texas who take such good care of my son.)
Yes it is still hot and humid. However we are out of the worst part of summer. It will start to cool down over the next few months.
That is good that sacrament meeting went well. The branch President asked Elder Casillas and I to speak in sacrament meeting, so we spoke yesterday. It went pretty well, we talked about preparing for the latter days.
Favorite thing I ate this week? We had some really good spaghetti on Tuesday with a member family. We also get fed every day, that is super nice.
Best thing this week was getting used to the area. It was cool meeting new people and figuring out what to do.
Most difficult will always be, biking in the heat.
Most inspirational was talking to a guy on the street who had been in prison and told us his story. It was pretty cool to hear his story.
Apart from that everything is going well.
Hope you have a great week.
Love
Elder Goodbaudy
