Dearest family!
How are you guys doing? I hope this letter finds you all in good spirits and in good health. Also, I hope this letter gets to you fast. As you might notice, I sent this letter through the international mail. Well, that is because I live 7 hours away from the office and I don't think I will be be getting by the office any time soon! However, the good news is there is a postoffice or should I say posthouse in my area. So I will be sending weekly letters. So please enjoy!
With this letter also comes the first time from San Pedro. San Pedro is a town really old! I reminds me a little of an old western town in a few parts. There are horse buggies and everything! The people are extremely nice and super friendly. Probably the biggest change for me -- except the environment -- is that everybody speaks Guarani first and then Spanish. So I am trying to learn Guarani. But its difficult so I mostly ask and study with the people we teach.
So I little bit about my new companion. His name is Elder R. and he is from Lima, Peru. He almost has one year in the mission so he is a little older than me. But as district leader, I remain as the senior companion. He really wants to learn English so I am helping him out. We have English days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and Spanish days on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with a "free-day" on Sunday. So whatever day it is depends on what we talk. This was a promise that came from an area seventy named Elder Cevallo. And I am a living testimony that it really works!
So English days are more difficult for me because I have to think what it is in English and talk really slow. But I am excited to help Elder R. learn. So our companionship is off on the right track!
District San Pedro has three areas: San Pedro "A", San Pedro "B", and Santa Rosa The district is extremely young. The majority only have 4 months in the mission! So in my district classes I focus on the basic-basics. Santa Rosa is about an hour and a half away, so to make the best of our time, they come every Monday so we can have our P-day together and our district meeting at night so we don't waste too much time traveling. But my district is awesome and hard-working. I am honored to be able to be apart of it!
Well, this is the briefing of the situation of San Pedro. I will be writing much more. Thank you for you love and prayers. I can feel them all the way in Paraguay! I love and pray for you all by name! I hope you have a good week, and I will be back soon!
Love always,
Elder Milton
