This week has been pretty dang great. This time around with my new companion, I find myself taking initiative more than I did in my past companionships. A lot of the time with my past comps, usually the split for how much each of us teach is about 50-50, which is great. But some times my comp will take over and teach a little bit more than I did and that's usually because I would be a little reserved. Well, that situation is sort of reversed where I'm at now, sometimes I lead out and teach a bigger portion of the lesson and Elder Jaszkowiak loves it. He says that he feels like in a lot of his companionships he has to do everything, and it he says that it's super nice having someone who can hold their own or even beyond that. Definitely a great compliment to receive, I guess you could say I'm becoming more confident and more outgoing.
I don't know if I mentioned in my last email that my companion, Elder Jaszkowiak, is going to complete his mission this transfer which means I'm going to "kill him off." That means I'll be getting a new companion, and I'll get a bunch of his extra stuff. 😎 I had an interview with President this last week and he actually told me I'm going to be training either this next transfer or the one after that. I'm super stoked for that because I know I'll grow so much. There's things I want to change in my missionary skillset and I feel like training is the best way to do that because I want to show the best example for my trainee so I'll need to become that and I'll want to become that if that makes any sense.
I did something pretty bold this week. We received a training from some old guy named Brother Donaldson who knows Preach My Gospel like the back of his hand. He taught us (more like reminded us) about teaching lessons through questions and even more specifically he pointed out that we should be asking people to be baptized more often. First visit if you have to. So that's what I've been trying, I asked two referrals to be baptized and one of them said yes. Other one, well he was hesitant, wants to feel ready which is fantastic because that's what we are there for. Let me tell you guys, it feels real good to be bold, so much adrenaline.
Well, that's all I got for now. There's probably more to write but I was late to write an email and I'm being peer pressured to go to Popeyes right now. Gotta go. 🍗
Love y'all,
