Hello friends and family, Well i just finished the craziest week of my mission. Things just get crazier and crazier each week. We have an emergency change in the zone this week. My companion left and the companion of the other zone leader left and now we are companions and they combined our areas. They called us at 1030 at night and told my companion he had to leave first thing in the morning. It was a little sad because i really liked my companion and i only had one week with him. Its been a really hard week to try and combine the two areas and visit all of the investigators. But that was the least of what happened this week. The next day after having the change the assistants came on a surprise visit to our area. That was all well and good but we had to take some time out of our day so taht they could do some errands. We were in charge of organizing and setting everything up for a multizone conference on friday. Then on Saturday we got lost in the middle of a giant farm trying to find the house of a member for lunch. All in all we were walking for 3 hours. In the middle of a farm field. So that was interesting. Lets just say that this week has been a little stressful for me. But im doing relly well. The area we are in is having a ton of success. There is a family of four that should be baptized this coming saturday. Im really excited for their baptism because we have been working with them for a long time so that they could get to this point. Today we have to move rooms. Im going to live in a different house now. So that should be fun.
My new companion is Elder Bruns He is from New York. He is a really good missionary. I dont know why but i always seem to get american companions. Its almost unheardof to have to americans together in the mission but its the second time for me. But its all good we are working hard and having fun. We had 10 investigators in the chapel this sunday which was awsome. So im hoping that we have a lot of baptisms in the weeks and months that come here. Ive said this from the beginning but i really like my area here. Its a great area and has a ton of potential. We just have to work. This week has deffinitely been the most eventful and maybe the most difficult of my entire mission but i know when we have the challenges we get the rewards. Im hoping that today we will be able to rest and take it easy a little bit so that we can recharge the batteries a little bit. The weather here is starting to cool down quite a bit. Im now wearing a sweetter at night to keep warm. We are in the desert so the temperature drops a lot at night. But durring the day its normal. Everything is going good i have nothing to complain about jsut hope i can find an hour or two more durring the day to get some stuff done. Love you all tons, Elder Hesselgesser
