Week #39 ~My Birthday Wish...MEAT!

Hello Family,
Thank you for the birthday cake.  I finally baked that cake u sent me!  Blue Funfetti my favorite; a little slice of home and birthday happiness!  A member in my ward remembered it was my birthday and came up to me and wished me happy birthday.  The ward told me happy birthday but my comp didn’t.  

My comp speaks very little Spanish; he prefers his native language Portuguese.  We’re struggling and it’s a challenge.  He does lots of stupid things and is total mess.  I thought I was messy; not even close to this guy.  When I say something, my comp just laughs and leaves the room.  I’m not sure if he understand me, or Spanish, or just doesn’t care to communicate?  I am trying but it’s hard! 

si yo se este es muy duro por mi pero este es un oportunidad a aprender una lección buena 
haha thanks!

I am trying to work harder than ever.   It’s hard because I am obliged to do all the talking for the two of us and do everything else for that matter.  I apparently need to learned much through my trials beginning with patience and love for a difficult companion.
 
On a happier note, I was able to eat a large BBQ for my birthday meal on Monday, YUMMY meat!! Yeah!!  It was an awesome celebration. 

I am doing good and working hard.   Thank you for all the birthday wishes they really made my week great!  

Love,
Elder Vance
