Some days are just tough, and today was one of the. I felt really discouraged, and the weather today didn't help at all either - it was cold! I can't even imagine how cold it was on the other side of the hills, next to the bay. It was about 60 degrees (it doesn't sound that cold but less than a week ago it was over 100 degrees - so it seemed really cold!) We did get to teach today. We taught a guy named Ty. He is really searching for the truth. He has read a lot of the Book of Mormon and wants to know if it is true. He's awesome. I hope that I can be in tune with the spirit to know how to answer his questions and help him. I think one of the big reasons why I was so down today is just because I got really overwhelmed. I hate being a greenie! I just want to be a great, experienced, effective missionary now. It's hard. It's hard to be patient and learn. I have to have faith. Faith that the Lord will bless me It is so weird to think that I am actually here on my mission. I don't want to waste time. I want to learn how to be an obedient, effective missionary and help others come unto Christ and receive the restored Gospel. I'm grateful to have an obedient trainer. Me and E. Cain get along pretty well. I think he's pretty weird, but he's good to me.
