Poky Week 9

Hello everyone! Good to hear from you all. I hope your enjoying the new football season as it is killing me. Probably my favorite time of the year. But i love the lord more than football. Sounds like everyone is doing well. Good to hear. I didnt know tyler was applying to the mtc? Thats cool. He would be awesome. My spanish is getting good now as well so thats a positive. Hope the cabin isnt un-accessable. Not much has happened at all this week. The work is slow. Were struggling to find people and keep people. But with that being said there has been many miracles. I am ready for argentina however....i want to see my mtc district elders and sisters. 

Tuesday- district meeting, then lunch at china buffet as always. We then had exchanges with elder Morales and cooley. I went with Morales up to firth. We taught 5 lessons that night and set a few dates. Then we woke up the next morning to play ball with the old dudes. The old dudes have this pride issue and they actually foul us hard and play dirty. They beat us 3 out of 4 games. I dotn know how but i was mad after haha. They are cheap dirty swasty old dudes that cheat. But its all fun and something to do. 

Wednsday- We met the sister at the church at 10 am after playing ball and gave them keys or something then met Finau and Cooley at Wingers for lunch. Where a member payed for us. It was very good as always. We later went tracting and helped a lady get a washer and dryer for her new house. She was a busy body. I was tired after being around her for 2 hours. We had tacos for dinner outside and it started raining. Quite awkward. My cup was getting water down by teh rain. Juice wasnt as good after that. But its ok. It was fun. Then we went to Rupes Burgers cause i was starving. We get free food there always but i still leave a tip cause we go there a lot. That night we got home and called our dinner appointment for the next night and he said he was out of town so he would call rupes and pay for us that way. So yay! Rupes again! Its good by the way.

Thursday- Boring as junk. But I read D and C 129. It was cool. Talks about how you tell if someone is an angel, or spirit, or demon or something. Crazy stuff. The D&C is nuts about berries! Crazy stuff. But then we weekly planned. Went to Rupes again. Payed for again so it was free! Not much happened later.

Friday- Rupes...yet again for lunch. Elder abbott wanted to for his B-day. So we went. LAter, we had a mexican party. Carlos, with the red truck, brought his subs and DJ mix system thing and played music at the church loud. Everyone would pull in the church and look at us from the busy street there in blackfoot. Non members as well. But we had good food and corn on the cob with mayo and cheese. It was flipping gooood. I had 3. Then we went home and gave elder butler a blessing because he was sick.

Saturday- Went to an appointment at 10 am. This guys name was RED. Long beard, red hair, freckles. He tried "teaching us" a message about how we are like flowers and how we need land. I have no idea...he was a whackadooodle no doubt. He is moving to lebannon because thats where its at apparently. He can grow his own farm and feed himself lol. I told him the USA is where i want to raise my family. He was pretty dumb but we were nice and taught him about the restoration. He laughed when i testified about Thomas S. Monson being a latter day prophet today and i got mad and told him that wae dont laugh at him and i told him he was mocking god by laughing. He shut up the rest the time. Not very christlike for such a "spiritual" dude. He said he read the quran and all other bibles/books and they are all true cause they are of god. He was nuts about berries. 

Sunday- Got up at 6 for a early meeting. Then appointment with crazy red again. Then church 1-4. Then a member brought us chicken dinner. It was good. But that was all that happened. We play nerf basketball in the apartment at lunch haha. You sit in a chair and throw it in the hoop. 3 chairs. 2 points for the longer ones and 1 point for the shorter chair. Finau is at 15 im at 11 Abbot is 9 and butler 8. Its our way of coping with football season. We will accumulate points throughout the transfer. So ya thats whats been going on in blackfoot. OH! last night (saturday night) RICARDO called us and asked if we could help him learn the scriptures better. So we will be helping him tuesday night and hopefully re-set his date. He needs to come to church though. He works 70-80 hours a week! but hopefully he can get around to baptism. He has already prayed and he knows it s right.

Love you all. Love your emails! Tell Lindsey to email me! I want to know whats up! Mom, i got the package, thank you very much! I appreciate all you and dad do for me! and am trying to do my part and work hard. i look good with my shades on :)

Love, Elder Westensee
