Family!!

This week has been a busy week here in San Marcos ! Thursday was kind of crazy Because we had heard in the streets that a young man in the neighborhood needed O Positive blood and he was in the hospital in Santiago. They were looking for a missionary who could donate blood that was O Positive but there wasn't one in the Santiago area. They found out that I have O Positive but one problem... my blood is bad for a little while.  Which means that I can't give blood here for a little while, because the platelets in my blood are below average because I have too many mosquito bites. But family but don't worry it can get better if I'm more careful with bugs, and use bug spray!

Friday was great! we had another split and I got to stay in my area and teach my investigators the  day was great because we found four more investigators and 3 more families can teach . I had to use my Spanish! I'm really feeling more comfortable! The other Gringo Missionary has-been on his mission for 6 months and I knew more than he did, but that's o.k. It's all learning.  Saturday was an o.k. day I felt really tired and frustrated with my companion but its all good now. We lost 3 older investigators...Dang! . Sunday was better and more relaxing. Sunday was great a lot of the  less active that we have been working with came to church and it went great . We have been working really hard with the Less Active and praying for them to come back to church!  

Monday so everyone was even better because of our ward helping us find and investigators. They were so well -taught  and excited. They had received a lot of information from the members in the last weeks. We have  8 more investigators, and we are so busy now . My Companion thinks that my Spanish is doing well and I have really improved and he thinks that I'm ready to teach family home evening with all members who meet at one of the members house . So Monday was the first day I have started preparing to teach like 30 members . We also have to start a class for members who want to learn Inglés and I have to teach class as well!  Excited!!  

Tuesday or yesterday was a really sad today because no other missionaries could  donate blood and the family couldn't afford to have the hospital to give blood. We received a call from the father and the boy passed away!  Me and my companion were pretty bummed all day because we  felt like we should have tried harder to find more people with That blood type .

Today was great because we didn't have a lot to do and was more relaxing and so we deep cleaned the entire house now it looks like new again . Hey Mom and Grandmas  please send me some recipes to cook some easy dinners, I'm kind of tired of  the same food. haha

Well that's my week family I love you guys and pray for you all daily!  Emilee I hope everything is all good with you and the baby and I can't to see the new guy or girl in the family. I love you guys and will see you guys next week! !

Love you Elder Westenskow
