Man i love Port Elizabeth! This
area is awesome but super dangerous haha. My comp is from Brazil and learning English.
He only been out for 3ish months so he’s new.
When we arrived on Sunday no one had played
the piano in months for their ward so i jumped up there being over confident in
my abilities and just slaughtered it hahahah. It was really funny but they were
all grateful i could just play! But i got called on to give another talk. Man,
i swear i talk every single week!!! but that’s ok. The ward here is awesome. I’m
pretty much whitewashing again cause last transfer the elders in the area got
hijacked and they had to close the area so we moved here and there hasn’t been
missionaries here in a while so the members are all excited to do missionary
work and giving us referrals, which is awesome!
I had to say goodbye to my mission buddies
this week and it was really sad because I’m going to miss them all lot! Many of
the people in this mission are from other countries then America so i won’t see
any of them probably ever again. It’s really sad!
There are a lot of elders here that have some
anxiety and sometimes they develops into depression.
What you said “You
should be the most skilled you are ever going to be as missionary in your last
area. Be a waste to spend 21 months learning how to be a great missionary
and then not use those skills” Is great
advice and i actually read that in the Book of Mormon which was really cool! I
forgot to write about it so maybe i will next week but i realized that! I need
to trust in my companion to display and be an instrument even though he has a
hard time with English.
Love ya,
Elder Shaw
