This week made me feel really old. That tends to happen basically every week now. But this week it happened for different reasons.
On Wednesday I had an intercambio with Elder Lore. He's new, he has about 3 weeks in the mission. I have about 3 weeks left in the mission. Probably about the biggest difference in mission time possible for two people proselyting together. It was kind of weird. And then that day about 15 newish missionaries flew into Trinidad because they had to do papers and boring legal stuff. So our district meeting on Thursday had double the amount of normal missionaries and almost all of them had at least a year less in the mission than I do. I felt so old and wise pitching in my experienced missionary commentaries. But the cool part about that is how much you can learn from the young guys. I am continually inspired by our 4th transfer district leader Elder Cahua and the other new missionaries' excitement for the work. So noobs are good thing.
The only other thing that happened this week was that our investigators finally came to church! We had 6 at church yesterday, which is more than I've had any other week in Trinidad. The work is progressing here and we should be able to dunk a few souls before I leave. But that is all. I bid thee farewell.
