Week 23

Sounds like home is good. Good to hear. I miss you all. Tyler, your going to have to help me get back into the real world! im gonna be weird like you were haha. Eventually. But i miss you all very much and am excited to see yall again. Pero, ahora, voy a trabajar ;) 

well. It was a good week. We had a baptism! whoo! That was a good experience. We had a district meeting and zone training this week! Very good and i learned a lot about how the spirit assists us if we allow it. Something funny that happened is Elder Quinonez my companion was standing under the tree outside the church gate with us at 7 am (we were waiting for the ZLs to open for zone training) and out of nowhere a bird poops on his head lol. It hit his glasses and streaked down his glasses. He got hit and just blinked and stood there with a scrunged face lol. So funny I almost cried. But i felt bad too. No one likes getting pooped on. 

As far as the work, its slow. It is a very european mission. The people, the lifestyle, the gospel work. We have 0 investigators. No one wants to hear our message. But that doesnt mean were going to stop trying. Were going to make it happen one way or the other. I am sick of people complaining here and saying ¨We just cant do anything else¨ or ¨The work sucks here¨ im here to change this area to a ¨whoa! i want to go to that area¨ Thats the plan. well see. Im ready to bust my butt. I want to just fall on my bed at night and pass out. Thats the goal. 

So hopefully it can happen.

Sounds like Utah is going to have a good winter. i hope not. in fact i hope it rains in the mountains for 2 winters.....ya....then in the winter of 2015, it snows a lot. that would be cool. JK andrew would be super bummed. I wish the best.

Oh, real quick, the other elders in san lorenzo told us a story. And this is elder Bailey from Oregon, North Plains, hes 18. Elder Ogden, my MTC comp and elder amaru from colombia, the District leader. They were walking one night home, and a car came drifting around the corner. Followed by a motorbike with a 9mm in his left hand. He shot at the car 5 times as the elders were walking right on the sidewalk. They ran away and hid for dear life. Meanwhile at 8¨55 we were in the pension and we heard 5 shots go off.So glad they didnt get shot AT. We are protected here i have seen many different times where things could have gone south in a hurry. But thank goodness we´ve been ok.

In other news......ya. there is no other news. Argentina is still smelly, dusty and windy. Dragon Ball Z, sonic, and Ben 10 are big down here. The bishops son gave me a little paper drawing of sonic and Dragon Ball Z guys they are going on the front of my agenda. or planner in ingles. But hey, hows Derek been? Whats everyone up to? 

I am going to spend more time on putting pictures up now. And exp`lain the pictures if i can. Love you all. Peace. 

Love, 
Elder Westensee
