Training!

It's been a crazy and stressful week. We had three new missionaries come in which I am training one. It's funny because I came in with 24 missionaries and now we only had three come in this transfer. He is my fourth companion and I'm still in my second area. He is also from California and his parents are from Mexico so he speaks alright Spanish. Hopefully he will be able to teach me a little. He hated the MTC and was excited to get to Texas. My companion loved playing video games at home and also for fun he would do trick shots with a frisbee. Hopefully one of these days he will be able to show me his great frisbee talents. 

I feel so unprepared to train. I just got out here five months ago and I'm still figuring out how to do missionary work. I have been thinking a lot about the talk by Dale G. Renlund in the Sunday morning session this last General Conference. He and many others quoted from doctrine and conference 1:23. Me and my companion don't know that much deep doctrine but we have a strong testimony and we can teach simply and that's all the Lord expects of us. Although I am weak and still learning the principles of missionary work and getting to know the scriptures I know that God will make my weak things become strong (Ether 12:27). 

This week was hard. We haven't had a lesson since Monday night and we have knocked many doors and are trying to clean up our area book by dropping the many investigators that we have. My companion is trying to get use to missionary life and is always tired. I try to help him get pumped and have energy for missionary work but he is always tired. He still works hard though and he is starting to get use to knocking doors all day. I can't wait to have a lesson one of these days so that he can lead out. 

This week my companion has already feel on his bike two times. The second time he broke the gears but we kinda fixed them a little but. He is also very sore from biking all day. Yesterday for dinner a member of the Ward put together a big party so we were able to go and visit with all the members and also we meet a couple new investigators there as well.
