Well, my visa came. I have known for 5 days now. Im heading to the mission home today to fly out tomorrow orwednesday. But, we got a call at 6 pm at a members house. We didnt anser. Then we went out onto the people deck and called the AP's back. They said "Elder Westensee, you excited to go to argentina?" I says, i says, "Yes" They say: "YOUR VISA IS HERE" I proceed to scream and jump for joy and high five Finau. my adrennaline was pumping. That was awesome. So yep. im heading out of the country!
This week was slow especially after the call on tuesday. We basically said bye to everyone and they were pretty sad. Finau is transferred up to Rigby as well, so carlos and the Maria family will miss us dearly. We helped them out a lot. Carlos brother, JOHNNY, has a baptismal date that i hope the other elders can help him get to baptism. We worked hard for that. Also, we set another date wioth a woman named MAYA. Shes about 23 and has a newborn. She wants her baby blessed too by one of the missionaries in church sunday. But.....im out. Right when we get a bunch of rewards for our work we have to leave. Pretty par for the course i would say. It does not matter though We are all on the same team as it said in conference. We work together.
I was going to post tons of pictures, but i dont have time. When we told carlos we were being transferred, he just about got teary eyed. And johnny said in a sad face looking at the ground "what about soccer" in broken english. Cause we have an activity every saturday where we invite members, less actives and investigators to play and we make it wayyyy fun for them. i wear my messi jersey and im getting good at soccer.
Conference was nothing short of spectacular. I took notes on color coded note cards. Green=Q12
Orange=70 Pink=Women Other=Bishoprics, what not. So i took tons of notes. about 30 cards worth. It was tiring but worth it as i have ammunition for the next 6 months. Satan is stupid. The guy is just a piece of work. but we can beat him if we put on the armor of god and trust in the lord.
Well. not sure what else to say. Im getting more facial hair. Like lamb chops now. MOre of a thick stache. You know. Just the usual. I think im fatter? Not sure. I eat a lot. But ya not much new. Im excited to do work in ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
Love you all and appreciate all you do for me. Mom, thanks for the satchell. I now have #SatchellSwag
I will try to send pics in the future, but for now i gotta head out. Love you all and i am very appreciative of what you do for me. Stay true to the faith!
