Week 72 - Slow Ride (3/12/2018)


Caught my comp taking a nap
So this week felt like it went by soooo slowly. To start out it was really slow. We got to work hard on our preparation day by playing ball and it was pretty fun...except for the fact we almost had the entire zone present and that was a big no. Felt chastised for it big time. That night we tried contact so many people it was crazy how many people didn't answer the door. I was amazed, but it's whatever I guess. The week went on and we had interviews with our Mission President and they went very smoothly. It was really nice to talk to him and see how we can help the Spanish people. Luckily with this Spanish group talk that is happening, things will be so much better. Had the opportunity to also go on exchanges with my former companion and trainee Elder Blaisdell and we had a great time together. We were in Rupert so we did pure Spanish work and it was just an awesome grind. We worked so hard, had good results, and then some bad ones, but in the end it was a good day.

As the week went on, we continued working and it felt sooooo long!! It was just insane!! I don't remember much, just the fact that it was sooooo long!!! We had a lot of appointments cancel and a lot of things fall through, but we noticed that being in the right place at the right time, yields a lot of good things. One of the appointments that cancelled, we didn't get the memo. We showed up and the mom of the family, just got released from the Hospital and as we arrived, she asked us if we could give her a blessing. So I think it was a good things we didn't get the memo. 

So a crazy thing that happened this week. So the Elders we are housing in our house got called a bunch of times along with us saying how unlivable the situation is. So they've been panicking trying to find a house for them, but when we housed another set of Elders they were completely fine with it.... Pretty weird if you ask me. But we've been searching for a house for them and luckily at one of our dinners, we were able to find out they want to start housing missionaries in their side home. It'll be temporarily until their house is finished and then they can move into it. Pretty crazy how God does answer our prayers!! 

Well that's my weeks summed up since I can't remember a lot of it. But I love you all and I hope you have a great week. Elder Ruesch out!!
