New companion, new schedule

Heylo

Well, my new comp is Elder Charman from Kent... Rochester England.

His last companion was Elder Thompson..... he is from my stake back

home!! Things are different with the new comp. Some of it is because

of the new schedule, some because people can be way different.

So I'll do my best to summarize my new comp and stuff. His behaviour

profile is high C... it's good stuff.  We work so hard and have every

minute of the day planned... literally. It's a complete change for me.

This week I learned that each missionary has their own strengths...

some are good teachers some are good at finding. I am learning so much

so fast from my new comp. It'll be a good transfer that's for sure!

He's short and his parents are converts and he likes science. Wants to

be an aerospace engineer.

The new schedule has given us 30 extra minutes in the morning to get

ready and it has given us 30 extra in the evening of free time. They

moved nightly planning to the morning and made it so you can do

companion study whenever you feel you can best use it. So we are

getting used to the schedule. Also pday starts at 8 am instead of 10am

so 2 extra hours.... so nice. But one of the unfortunate things is

only 30 minutes for lunch sooo I'm not sure how well I'll do. 

This week I had English Fish and Chips!!! It was way good. I also rode

a nice bike..... it was a Giant electric bike. it was a Trance with

that electric stuff. Sooo dang fast. I barely pedalled and zoom so

sweet. I see why everyone likes them. The technology is unbelievable.

The real stuff this week. We worked and worked and worked. Elder

Charman relies on me because he doesn't know the area at all. We met

with Elesha which was very interesting. The spirit was there; hoping

she will progress. I am getting really comfortable in all missionary

situations.

People, prayer is the best! When you pick up a new companion and you've

never met him before, things get lonely really fast. But prayer...Heavenly Father is there.

He always will be and is excited to listen and help. I testify that

Heavenly Father answers prayers. I know he loves me and he loves you.

Have a stellar week everyone!  I pray for you :)))
