So this week was pretty crazy. It started out like pretty much every other week, but it was unlike any other week. So first of all I started this week with one companion and I ended this week once again with a different companion - the same companion that I trained and then got taken away from me after 5 weeks because the President wanted him in the office. So after 3 weeks I now have him again as my companion - and I am finishing training him. lol. But now I will explain the HOW this came to pass. So it all started Tuesday. It was a pretty normal Tuesday. We had our district meeting, and then we went out after lunch. But right as I sat down for the first lesson the phone rang. Now I usually don’t pick up the phone. I just turn it off, but since it was the beginning of the lesson - and when I looked at it and realized the APs were calling, I thought it might be best to pick it up. They ended up saying that we had to go back to the house because they were going to come and pick up my companion - and that he had to prepare an extra pair of clothes because he was going to spend the night at the office. So - last week they took out my last companion I was training, but was put into the office, from the office and put him in another area. So we figured that my present companion would be called in to work in the office because they were the only two that knew how to do the baptism stuff on the computers. So . . . after my companion left I had an intercombio with an elder which was way awesome because he was my first Zone Leader (so we had a blast together). Then Wednesday rolled around and we headed to the office to pick up my new companion. So we got there, and we were about to leave when Pres. Almonte walked into the office. Now I’m thinking that he didn’t know that my companion had came to the office. Because he did not appear very happy. And he didn’t know all the stuff that my companion was there to help out with. The office missionary has been in the office for like 6 months except he only really did stuff with the houses. But right after the Pres. yelled at him he turned to my companion and said that in 2 days he was going to come to the office and in two days I was going to receive my new companion – one I had before – one I really like and the rest is history. The next day which was the Thursday, after a zone conference, the APs came to the house and dropped off my new companion and my old companion left. But what is still super sweet is that Saturday we had 2 baptisms, and they were the first baptisms of my new companion. So I was still able to give somebody I trained his first baptism.
