Day one in Puebla went really well. We had to wake up at 3am in the CCM and we left the CCM at 4am. We had to change buses a couple of times, but we made it to Puebla around 9am. After that we had interviews with Presidente and had some training and orientation. After all of that was all said and done around 4pm we hit the field.
We all got new companions for that afternoon/night. My companions name was Elder Vosi and he is an amazing missionary.
We left the mission office and started proselyting on the street. We knocked some doors and we got some return appointments. We visited a members house where the husband had died about a year ago, so it was just a mom and her two boys. The older boy is preparing to leave on a mission and we helped them paint and we gave him a blessing (I did the annointing, elder Vosi did the blessing). We kept knocking doors and visited a Puebla market where some less actives had a stand and they gave us some free drinks.
After that we visited the home of a chiropractor whose wife is so sick she cant move or speak. We read the Book of Mormon to his wife and after that we talked to him for a little bit. After we were done talking to him, he popped both of our backs and mine sounded like a machine gun, but it felt so good. Then we went and contacted some security guards outside of a drug dealers (narco) house and got pictures and return appointments with them.
After that Elder Vosi and I got tacos al pastor (muy bien) and met back up with his permanent companion and one of the members from my district in the CCM to stay at their house.
Today we went to a chapel by the mission office where we got more training and got our new companions and areas. My companion (elder Tarrega) is a Latino, so communicating is a bit difficult when we dont speak the same language. My new area is called Morelos and it is about an hour and a half away from the main city of Puebla. We got here and took some clothes to the laundry mat and then went to the bishops house for dinner. The dinner was good, but I mostly sat there with a confused look on my face because I had no idea what was going on.
Adios
Elder Warburton
