Hello everybody, its good to write to you this week! There have been a lot going on... so I'll make this quick and painless.
Recently our Zone has had the opportunity to help out a potential investigator clean her house. This place was honestly the filthiest home I've been inside on my mission (and that's saying something). It was a single wide trailer, literally falling apart. The floors were made of particle board, most of which was rotting away and many parts had holes where you could see outside! Cobwebs lined the walls and they were not without spiders. Luckily they had two dogs and 4-5 cats which had defecated all over the place. The mother had her clothes layered about a foot high in her bedroom, all of which smelled of cat urine. Don't even get me started with the bathrooms. Needless to say it was a BAD situation. The mother of the family anxiously wanted us to come help her "tidy up", because the CPS (child protection services) were threatening to take away her kids. We did the best we could but after our help doing what we could with her home, unfortunately (or fortunately depending upon how you look at it) her kids were still taken from her.
Let's get to some happy stuff now! We had a Zone Conference and an MLC, which were both AMAZING! At our Zone Conference our Mission President's Mission President from his mission came to speak to us. Wise words from a wise man, he essentially told us to not lie and to get married as fast as necessary when we get home haha. At MLC we had the opportunity to hear from Elder Taniela B. Wokolo from the Quorum of the Seventy and also an Area Seventy attend the conference and give us some training. Elder Wokolo is now in my top 3 favorite General Authorities. That man can spit out scriptures like it's none of your business! My respect for the leaders of the Church has grown ten fold. They are true servants of God.
Today we went to an escape room, we escaped. Just thought I'd let you know.
Have a good week Y'all
Love Elder West
