Hello Hello. I hope you are all doing great and i hope you had a great week. I know tasha and park and b were sick and parker trashed his cast, but what can you do? Life goes on. and it will always just keep going on. 

This week was slow. We taught about the normal amount but couldn´´t seem to find anyone new. Our baptism dropped because he was not willing to seperate or marry his pregnant girlfriend. He has a testimony though and he truly believes it so its sad to see him choose a different way. But oh well life goes on. 

monday was a normal p day. We had a lesson with gabriel about the plan of salvation. He is our 9 year old. We brought a white board paper type thing and drew it out for him simply. He is excited for his baptism but still he hasnt made it to church with his parents. The tough thing is his dad works 14 days on 7 dasys off. So it stinks when the dad is home he takes the mto the river and doesnt really like us. but were gonna keep trying. 

Tuesday. On tuesday i got a call from the assistants that my companion had to go to bariloche in the night time at 1 am. So we went to the (bus) terminal with elder bennet and munoz. Waited in the terminal until about 2 30 and then went back home after my companion got on the bus with elder hernandez and trujillo 

I slept on the hard ground in my pros clothes because i forgot to plan ahead. 

Wednesday. What a charmer this was. We had a meeting at 7 45 at the stake center. I woke up with my back hurting and a rash on my eye from lack of sleep. We walked to my pension in the mornaing at about 5 30 to get my suit and stuff and then we showered and went to the meeting at 7 45. We had zone conference. Lots of new rules were unvailed and stuff like that. We found out lots of missionaries went home because of sickness in the stomach. So we have to be careful with that. But for lunch we had subway, which we payed 35 pesos each. SO it sucked really. But the conference went until 5. Long day I would say. Then after we went to work with elder langford and moya. It was a good time. We set a noche de hogar (family home evening) WIth the family sure and they are bringing their friends to listen to our message! IM excited about that. Then 9 30 picked up my companion. I was dog tired and passed out on the bed when we got home. 

Thursday was slow. Visited people, didnt recieve refferals and had weekly planning. Exciting.

Friday was slow as well. We had consejo meeting in the morning with our ward mission leader. The ward is a mess. Everyone hates each other. The bishop gets crap the mission leader hates bishop and the 2nd counselor is inactive. So....we talked about how were going to plan activities to bring the ward together. Hopefully this works. Also were going to start to make flyers for english classes at the church on saturday. Its a chance for members to bring non members and menos activos. IN the night we taught horacio. IUt was good, 

Saturday... and sunday were slow. Normal normal days. 

I got to head out but i lvoe you all and i think about ou all very much. Have a great week. Stay safe and healthy. Chao

Love Elder Westensee
