Poky Week 5

Hello everyone. I dont have much time this week cause i got 18 emails. But i will try to hustle here. I also wonder if i will see dad in Idaho Falls in the next few hours on P-Day haha! Anywyas thank yall for the emails it is good to hear from everyone. 

Everyone sounds good. Lilly is always sick! Poor Child! B and P seem to be growing up fast at Seaworld! Andrew is still a working stiff lol. Dad is still dad golfing a lot. Dustin and Marissa seems to be doing well for the most part :) So it was good to hear from yall!

This week went by quick. Busy Busy Busy but still struggling with success.

Monday- P-Day We went to Poky and play basketball. Thats about it.

Tuesday- District meeting, i shared a little thought in spanish, it was fun. I tried cutting my hair afterwards in the bathroom and i chopped right above my ear lol a bald spot!!!!!!!!! My companion was laughing so hard! But i went and got it fixed....kind of not really. But its just hair. Then we fixed our phone finally. The screen was busted. Then we just visited some investigatorrs.

Wednesday- Same old day. We met a guy named Ricardo tho. He is cool. He said he was waiting for us. He is an MMA fighter and his trainer is the best fighter in Utah and idaho. Were going to stop by his gym later today. BUt he said he has been waiting for us to show up. He has already read the BOM and prayed and he knows its right.  He will be baptized soon. but we dont have a date quite yet. We still need to teach a lot. 

Thursday- We met some bums at a gas station the night before and they said to meet at mcdonalds at noon today. They didnt show up so we went bum hunting under the bridges by the snake river. Never found them. It was a slow day. Lots of rejection. 

Friday- We visited Merced Flores (one legged old man) otra vez. At 9 am. He is stoppping coffee and smoking then he will be baptized. But he is a colorful guy. He is animated. And passionate about Jesus. So thats good. He is having stomach issues so thats a set back always. He calls us and says we cant come for 3 days cause he is in the "clinic". at the hopsital.who knows if he actually is or is just saying that so he can drink his coffee and smoke. But he will come around. His date is set for the 21st of september.

Saturday- We fasted today for the zone investigators. Good experience. Then we had dinner at a spanish members house. it was amazing chicken and potatoes and corn. GREAT food. The mom loves me and wants me to marry her 17 year old daughter after the mish. LOL haha.....no. But they are nice people. Then we went to a ward party and hung out and got a few members to give us referrals. 

Sunday- Me and Finau spoke in the 1st ward. It was an old church with an upper deck and an elevator it was cool! I spoke for 20 mins first and talked about golf and missionary work and spiritual gifts, etc. Funny story. Me and my comp played a game. We each gave each other a word we had to fit in to our talks. My word was parfait. I fit it in nicely and no one noticed. FINAU on the other hand lol. He started talking about football cause i talked about golf. He said since were talking about our favorite sports he can talk about football. So he says this in a encouraging leader type pump up- rant "Brothers and sisters! you are the lineman blocking for us missionaries, who are the quarterbacks!!! We cant score without you! So lets get out there and score! And then we can sit on the sidelines and enjoy a strawberry shortcake!!!....I dont know why im thinking about strawberry shortcakes..." lol the place erupted and it was just great. then after our talks everyone came up and talked to us and loved our talks. One guy came up to me and offered to take us golfing on P-day in 3 weeks. So thats legit! Then  we taught sunday school, at 1pm, we went to spanish ward until 4. Then dinner then visit families then bed. BUSY DAY.

Now its p day my time to relax and enjoy Idaho Falls! Love you all I hope all goes well for you. I know im a goof ball and i always will be, but i know this church is true! There is so much evidence! And not only that the spirit testifies of the truth as well!

Love, Elder Westensee
