Hey Family,
I have not recieved a letter as of yet but I am also in one of the farthest cities from Tijuana so it may be in the offices, this week we have a conference so I will have to check with President.
This week I want to talk about the my experience this week. Tuesday was the day where Elder Gaspar was put in charge of leading the missionary work. I pretended to be a new missionary from the US, Elder Han (yes I know that I am extremely creative). We visited a lot of diferent people and I was able to see how Elder Gaspar worked as a Trainer. The rest of week we used to help him learn those things and try to fill in the gaps in the problems he was having so that he could learn and become better as a senior companion. We still have a lot of different things to work on but I have some great hopes and prays that he will become a truely amazing and fantastic missionary. I learned about charity, diligence, obedience, patience, priorities, parenting, humility, pride, repentance, forgiveness, prayer, hope, planning, teaching, working with leaders, and everything inbetween. It would be near impossible to put this experience into novel let alone a email.
I have some desire to become a trainer of trainers so that I can help future missionaries become better. We will have to see what happens in the future.
Elder Gaspar has helped me grow in so many diferent ways and has seen how I struggled and stressed to be a better missionary for the Lord. We have learned together and I will never forget the many things that I have learned during this 12 week experience, we only have one more week together. I hope he can learn from the good and from the bad and that both of us can accept the Atonement of Jesus more fully in our lives.
Elder Curtis Hanson
