Hola Familia. Yo estoy muy bendecido este semana. This week was great. I cant even tell you how grateful I am for ya'll. Mom thanks for the letter and package and all the candy and ties and stuff. ANDREW AND TASHA. That package was the highlight of the MTC. I just opened it about 30 min. ago and I melted. But...i didnt cry....im a man....and i loved the pictures. Anyways I want you to know that i dont care if you write me all that often. It is not a big deal at all. Im busy and your all busy and not a lot changes. I remember I never wrote Andrew or Tyler even once. (oops) Because I was stupid and lazy and didn't understand. Now i understand. haha. Anyways so thank you all very very much for the packages and letters and drawings and pictures. I am very lucky to have the family that i do and want you to know i think about yall often and miss you very much. Love the ties I recieved this week. Heather, Mom, Tasha, Andrew, WELL DONE. I truly appreciate it.Sounds like things at home and in texas/idaho are going well. Im glad to hear from you all. Keep up the good work. Keep me up to date.So this week was pretty solid. Went by quick. We had in-field training yesterday from 8-5. Loooong meeting but it was good. We are supposed to leave monday for Argentina but.....we wont be able to. and because of that we have to stay 7 weeks in the MTC most likely unless our re-assignments come tongight which they probably wont. But thats the scoop on that. Not much is new really. Just studying and learning a little more each day. I think tyler already told you but i saw him on the last temple walk and it was cool. I miss everyone but its not a huge deal. It was good to see Ty tho. Sunday was fast sunday and it was painful. We waited until 6 30 pm to go eat and then we get there and the line is down the hall. so we ate at about 7 15. It was painful but I have seen the blessings throughout this week. My spirits are always lifted when i get mail, packages, see tyler, etc. I was on the temple walk about to pass out and i was just like "Please give me something to take my mind off of food" and i look over and theres good old bubby in his fav. car: The Pilot. So that was a blessing and from then on i was able to make it through. Tell Heather I saw Janelle Clark...yeah. I kept seeing her and i finally said something or maybe she said something i dont know. But i saw her. Oh today, we got to go clean the provo temple. Well....my district did. We all showed up at the temple in the rain and the guy in charge asked "who wants to do security?"...I was just like ehhh ok i will. And so did Elder Adcock. So i just was on security guarding the temple doors and scanning contractors temple recommends and relaxing in a nice chair. So that was fun. They are re-modeling the temple if you didnt know. So that was fun. ummm.... ya thats pretty much about it. 2 elders went home this week in other districts so thats too bad. Both due to depression. But thats just part of it and i feel bad for the elders cause that would be tough. I am thankful i have been healthy this whole time inside and out. Major blessing.
Another thing thats going on is that 2 hermanas are leaving to Peru on monday in our district. They got their travel plans so they will be gone. Everyone gets out their journals and has everyone sign it like a yearbook almost. I was signing this one kids and i just started writing a poem to him about our experiences in the MTC. Then it turns out it was funny and now everyone wants me to write them poems in the whole zone. So I have been busy writing poems. They are funny and sly i suppose. It is to the point where people cant even look at me without laughing because im such a goof ball. I asked one sister why she started laughing at me when i was eating lunch outside today and she said "I guess im just waiting for you to make me laaugh." SO i guess im a huge goof but whatevs. I prayed that i could be myself in the MTC and not worry about anything and boy...my prayers were answered.Anyways thanks again for the awesome packages and letters. I love hearing from everyone. Mom, Tyler, Andrew, Lindsey, Tasha+Andrew, Tony, thank you very much. If only you knew the impact you have on my days. I would love to hear from heather too! Dear elder is the way to do it. Love yall! I am praying for you and hope you have a great week.Love
-Elder Westensee
