Went with a song by EDEN this week because it highlights something that all missionaries lack. The chorus goes, "I won't sleep, no more" several times. I've learned to just deal with being tired all the time, really. As exhausting as it can be out here, it's so worth it. That aside, it's been a brilliant week.
We've found several new people to teach this past week. One of whom, is named Hamington. He's from Venezuela. We were actually passing by someone else who we thought lived in his apartment, but she apparently didn't live there anymore. Instead, we found him and he invited us in. My companion, Elder Kamimoto has been serving in the Madrid mission for a year and 9 months now, told me that no one has ever let him in on the spot like that before. We taught him the first lesson, and he was intrigued. Looking forward to working with him as well as our other new investigators.
So we got a little more information on our recent convert Mickhael Yadkson (I'll take any chance I get to write out his full name) this week. It turns out, he found a job in France so he's gonna stay there for quite some time while he's waiting for his residency in Spain to be sorted out. That means I probably won't get to see him before I leave the area :( He's one of the sickest people I've ever met so that was a little rough to take. I'll see him again someday though, I've no doubt about that.
Algo más: Elder Jones, Elder Kamimoto and I will be in a trio for the next couple of days. Elder Jones' companion, Elder Peroni, had to go to home to Barcelona to get something about his residency sorted out so he doesn't get kicked out of the country. So that'll be fun for the next two days.
Can't believe I haven't mentioned it in my weekly updates to this point yet, but we found this amazing burger place here called The Good Burger. They have a 2 for 1 deal on Thursdays so we go every week hahaha. The workers know us now and they love us. I'm gonna try to get a picture with them this coming week. It doesn't quite reach the level of In-N-Out, but it's a close second for me. Pretty sure it's an American franchise, but they must only have locations on the East Coast or something.
Currently bowling with the JAS (young single adults) here so I gotta go knock some pins down, you know how it is. I hope you all have a great week wherever you may be! You'll hear from me next week.
Hasta Luego,
Elder Penner
