This was actually a really interesting week between everything that happened. Nothing really super exciting - but a little more interesting than usual. I got a phone call from the Mission President last Monday, right when I was about to finish sending letters. You won’t believe what happened. I am going to be a trainer - I am going to train a new missionary and I only have been out 6 months. I am going to receive this kid tomorrow. He will be a Dominican. It’s a little crazy. I don’t remember his name. Nor do I know what he looks like. And I’m kind of a little nervous about that. Not a lot but a little. I mean who wouldn’t be? Right? So that’s cool.
Anyways, Tuesday was a pretty normal day. But miercoles [Wednesday] was the interesting day. So in the morning we had a zone conference with the AP´s. That was really good. They actually told us that we were doing awesome and were one of the best Zones in the mission. So that’s exciting to know. They also talked about how to better our district meetings. But Wednesday night was the more interesting part. So my companion and I got in a fight. But it was weirder than weird, because I don’t know exactly what I said to him that started it, but it started out with him throwing a chair at the wall…. then screaming…. and walking around hitting things. After I calmed him down, he ended up telling me he was sorry and how bad his life was. Then he started crying. He told me about his life for two hours, while crying through the whole thing. I didn’t understand it all, because he wasn’t speaking very clearly at this time. But I pretty much heard every bad thing that has been going through his life since he was probably ten. So, I know a lot about my companion now. And then I gave him a hug and put him to bed. Literally, he was holding on to me and I walked him to his bed. It was a really weird experience, and it was late. It lasted forever. So I don’t really know how to explain it. And yea, that was my Wednesday night. Thursday morning was a little awkward, but that was only to be expected.
Thursday and Friday were pretty normal. Saturday I had another baptism. Her name is Lillian. She is 34 and really cool. But the thing was that I kind of baptized my phone as well as her. lol. So that night I went to a friend’s store and he fixed my phone for free. Oh-yea!! It’s nice to know and be friends with everyone in a city. So I didn’t even have to tell the AP´s or anything and feel like an idiot in front of them. Sunday we had 10 investigators go to church, and we should be having at least two baptisms this coming Saturday. So that’s exciting that I’ll get to start out my kid with two baptisms. And that was my week.
Love ya,
Elder Woestman
