so this week i got a new companion!! yes so that means that is on more transfer done. Elder alison was a great companion. but nothing like my new one. From what i can tell i am going to make some good head way this transfer. in two days i already speak way better portuguese and i under stand a lot more. no where even close to ready but im makeing head way. so Elder Talvane is my new companion. this is his last transfer. that scares me a little. i can already see the trunkiness coming out. but i think he will be pretty good about it. hes trained a few differnt elders in the mission. hes last american companion that he trained has become on of the best missionaries in the mission. right now hes serving in the office and the financial secretary. he speaks perfect portuguese. now i know that doesnt automaticaly mean i will to. i have to put in the same amount of work as he did or more if i want to become anything close to what my heavely father wants me to be. but i know god has given me this blessing becuase he know i will take what he gives me and run absoulutly as far as i can with that. i just feel like god has more planned for me in this mission then just a mission. i feel like i do some very amazing things here.
its so funny how my whole life i have always feared the unknown. i absolutly hated it!!! and still to this day i am not a huge fan of it. but what i have learned is the time i grow on the mission is i am 100 percent uncomfterable. like yesterday. i had to show my new companion how to get to our area by myself. ya okay that means busses reading signs. talking to people. gosh it was so scary!! i didnt not know if i could do it. but i tried to put all my faith in god and ya we made it there without any flaws. and that is just a tiny portion of the expericences ive had here with strange situations i was uncomfterable in. but every one helps me grow to be the missionary i want to be. oh gosh the thought of wanting to go home comes into my mind every day. but i cant even stand the thought of how my life would be without this mission. the thought of not living a life to total capacity seems unbarable. i cant wait to see where i will be by the end of my mission. it will be absoulutly amazing!!
Well i love you all!
Elder Ruesch
