This week has been really good! I really wish the time would slow down because it feels like time is just speeding by! And I have so much to do!
First I want to tell you about my new companion Elder Medrano. He is freaking sweet and yes.... from the same mission as Ryan served. Because when I told him that my brother served there, he asked for a picture of Ryan so I showed him one... and he knew him and said he knew him when he was serving there. He is older.. like 23 years of age and loves to eat !
So for this week, Thursday was sweet we are teaching a lady, her name is Olyda and she is super sweet and likes to talk a lot!! She has a lot of problems with her skin and health but she insists on listening to us because she believes every bit of the gospel and knows that it is true! The only problem we have is that she talks really fast and sometimes so fast that even my companion does not understand her and he is fluent in Spanish ! ! Friday was also very cool because we were in a house up in the mountains and we taught a less active member. She really appreciates when we visit because she does not get very much visitors because of where she lives. We just need to understand that she is never alone in this world because we ALWAYS have our Savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father with us! Saturday was pretty good but a lot of our appointments dropped and us was hard to find anyone to teach..Saturday's are usually like that. Sunday was very cool ! ! It was stake conference and we heard from the Mission President and his Wife , the President of the temple here in Santo Domingo and his wife, and also Elder Civic and his wife, from the seventy and it was really great! Because of that conference and their talks, they have changed the minds of the members here, they want to work with us and give references for us too! Monday was sweet and I hope that through the activity we did we can receive more people to teach . We were teaching this amazing investigator and he really wanted to know more and kept asking if we could stay and teach more but it was 9 in the night so we couldn't stay but promised we would be back. The people are getting more and more excited to hear our message! Yesterday was the best day yet because we invited the bishop to teach with us and it's just what we needed, because we found out earlier that day the family we are teaching, the parents were never married so we taught about eternal marriage and the lesson was so spiritual!! They are really thinking about being married and coming to church with us! I really hope they can find it in them to follow through all of this because they are awesome and we have been teaching them for 3 months now!
Family... that is my week and I hope I answered your questions and all , I love you guys sooo much and hope you are all enjoying that snow and cold weather . Talk to you guys next week ! !
LOVE:
ELDER WESTENSKOW
