"This week was full of adventure. I met my new companion on Tuesday and we started to work. Her name is Hermana Humphries. She is from California, the Los Angeles area. She is pretty much awesome. She talks to everyone. She has no fear whatsoever. She is has the sensitivity of the Spirit (of God) with her. And lots of times she has just gone right up to people and started talking to them. I am just kind of there to help her when she needs help. She is really capable. She has to take over our area in 5 weeks...(crap, thats how long I have left) so like the last two weeks...I am going to need to give her more responsibility. I don't really find training her hard...she is great. I just have to tell her about the rules, etc. She has a really good Spanish base too. And she takes me running in the morning...awesome. I already feel skinnier. The President (of the mission) told me today, "Hermana Cornelius, I wish I had 12 more of you!" What a compliment!

"The coolest thing that happened, happened yesterday. As we were working in our area speaking to someone about the gospel I got a call from the assistants to the president (male missionaries that work closely with the president of the mission). They tod me that they were in our area and wanted to know where we were. I told them. They came up to us and filmed us descretly, as we were speaking to this person. Later they interviewed us for a video that they are putting together for the misson. But how freakin' awesome: just as we were doing a contact, they showed up and filmed it! It couldn't have been more perfect."
