Elder Pilling in Antigua

This week went by so fast I don't know how it's possible. Time is a weird thing. This week was basically the same as last week.

Lots of classes on zoom. I am glad that Zoom is over but kind of sad I am leaving. I Learned some more Spanish and practiced talking to fake investigators and my companion and I did not do super good because our Spanish is not the best haha.

I am alway so tired after my last class but its so awesome to learn so much!!! First, my companion is from California and is super relaxed and quiet. We both are super easy going haha. The very first day I got thrown into Spanish and could not understand anything but although I couldn't understand anything, I felt the spirit so many times! My district is super fun. 6 Elders and 2 Hermanas. I have two Sister teachers but one of them is leaving and I am  getting a guy teacher. He was in our class today and he is super nice. Told us that the people of Guatemala will give us everything they have, even though t...
