Takin Care of business

This week was extremely busy. This was the week of changes. The office was hectic for the whole week preparing. I had to make a bunch of presentations and get a lot of pictures and statistics of successful areas and stuff. My companion had changes and got moved out of the office. He is now my Zone Leader. My new comp is Elder Morán. He's from Ecuador. He has one more change then I do in the mission. He's the new General Secretary. I'm worried for the guy. It is a lot of work to be the General Secretary, especially for a guy that doesn't speak English and doesn't know computers that well. He's 18 like me so we're just two really young guys but we're going to work hard. He's pretty different then me. He is really serious and well...you know me. I've gotten way better at making friends here on the mission. I make friends quickly. I'm really thankful for that because it makes everything so much better when you make friends. Monday and Tuesday this week  I taught a grand total of 0 lessons. We were in the office from 7 in the morning till 9 at night. One thing that is rough about being in the office is your spirituality kind of drops. We don't hardly ever have time to study. But the Lord is blessing us with knowledge and recollection. However I'm thankful for the opportunity that I have. 
     I read Elder Nyman's letter this week and I realized that my letters are not very descriptive. I just feel like I do the same thing everyday and it's not anything special. I will try to right things more descriptively. 
    For some reason Elder López and I had a really hard time getting people to come church. It is the worst when you wake up Sunday morning go walk to all the investigators houses that said they would come and then for some reason they just say otro domingo or proxima semana. This is the most frustrating thing ever. I have been trying to up my teaching about the Sacrament and the importance of church. One thing I took for granted or didn't really understand was the importance of church and the Sacrament. I still don't think I understand it fully but that is something that I going to study more about. 
Thanks for everything.
-Elder Rowberry
