Hi Everyone:
What to talk about. . . . Tuesday was transfer day. So Monday night we had 7 people sleeping in our house that is really only made for two. It wasn't that great for those missionaries because they had to sleep on the ground. But hey, such is life. Then we woke up to take showers Tuesday and the water left so we didn't all get to take showers. lol. Some had to leave to their next areas smelly. Then Tuesday we received missionaries and sent out missionaries at three different times: one time bright and early at 6am, one time at 1pm, and one at 5pm. And when we picked up the missionaries at 5pm it was pouring down raining, so we got soaked along with all their luggage while waiting for a taxi to come and send them off to their area. All in all . . . it was just to crazy of a day to explain.
Wednesday we went to the capital for the zone leader concilio [meeting]. and that was way good. But we didn't really get home 'till around 6pm, so basically we only got to pass by our investigators that got baptized Saturday. Then Thursday we held a zone meeting with the zone. I don't know if I told you but we now have 24 missionaries in my zone and we are the biggest zone in the mission as of right now - area wise that is. It takes 3 and a half hours to get from one side of my zone to the other, and I have to do it by bus. You'd think they would get me a car or at least a bike, but of course that would never happen (haha) but I have basically figured out that when you are a zone leader over 24 missionaries, everyone has problems. lol. One of the houses in my zone has been out of water and light for 3 weeks. And this was one of the new areas that I received, so we had no clue. We sent two new missionaries out there; a new missionary and his trainer. And when they got there they called us up and said that there wasn't any light and water. So I called up the old zone leaders of that area and they said that that house hasn't had light for three weeks. CRAZY. So I talked to the office and they should have everything fixed today. And that's just the tip of the ice burg. It's crazy down here now.
But Saturday we had 2 baptisms which was nice. And we have another one for this Saturday that's coming, so I'm way excited. Plus today we played basketball and it was way fun. and my face is pretty much beat red now (haha) but that's the life of a missionary that's just having way too much fun.
Love You,
Elder Woestman
