A week of Change

This week was changes and so Jaydan said it was both "chill and hectic". They had the Elders from Young stay at their house so that they would be closer to the terminal. They also had another companionship staying with them since one of those Elders were leaving and you can't have an Elder alone. This way the single Elder would still be with a group and not alone. Since there were so many of them they decided to stay at the Church. Jaydan didn't really want to stay at the Church and didn't really feel good about it but he was out voted and so he went. He couldn't really sleep and only slept about an hour. They got up at 4:00 to take the first Elder to the terminal then came back and got another one to take at 5:00. After that drop Jaydan and the Zone leader and two other Elders went back to the Church because the other Zone Leader left their area and he had the keys to the Elders house. They wouldn't have a way to get back in until like 9:00 that night when he got back so now it was a good thing that they had all stayed at the Church. They were able to sleep until 7:00 and then they had to go pick an Elder up from the Airport. No one would go with the Zone Leader so Jaydan went with him. (not very much sleep on changes)

They went to lunch in their area around 1:00 when everything was done. They worked after that and Jaydan said it was hard since it was hot and he was so tired from not getting much sleep. (he got about 3 hrs) His comp however got lots of sleep and was ready to work. It was a hard day and having the other Elders stay with them until they could get back in to their house wasn't too bad except that they ate all the madarines. ("gosh darnit")

They had their District Meeting on Thursday instead of Tuesday because of the changes and it went longer since they had new missionaries they needed to get to know.

Jaydan is having a good day understanding things and then the next can be terrible again. He loves when he gets it!

They are teaching a girl named Suli and they love it because her and her mom always have tons of questions and are "fetching legit". I guess one night that they were talking with them Jaydan was in a bad mood because he wasn't understanding things and was taking a lot of crap from people and was messing up when he did try to talk. His comp wasn't giving him any opportunities to talk to Suli anyway. It was getting late and Jaydan knew that they should be leaving to catch the bus and his comp kept talking. He wasn't acting like he cared at all. Jaydan kept saying that they needed to leave and by the time they finally did the bus was coming. Jaydan was running to the bus and waved to the driver and so it was waiting for them. Then Jaydan looked back and his comp was just walking and so he waved the bus on. He asked his comp why he wasn't running to catch it and why he wasn't hurrying to leave. His comp just replied that it was fine. Jaydan didn't say anything after that since he didn't want to cause more contention but he was frustrated.

The boys that Jaydan got to baptize last week want to be sealed now. They just hope that the dad will get baptized on the 28th if he can quit smoking. They do everything good, like reading and praying and they are just really strong and really have the desire to be baptized. So, Jaydan feels like he is going to be fine.
