Jaxon - Another week here and gone...

March 4, 2019
Hey everyone!! Hope you have all had a great week!!

So this week was pretty hectic for us here. Just a little reminder, I am in an area named Mengo and my companion's name is Elder Schwendiman. He is actually from a town just outside of Rexburg! So a lot of this week, my companion and I have been getting bounced. Getting bounced means we scheduled to meet with someone in the morning, but once we get to that time of day, the investigator decides to meet maybe tomorrow instead (which usually doesn't actually happen). I'd say it happened about 3 or four times a day, so about 15 or 16 bounces throughout the week!!
These past two weekends were pretty good, however. For my companion and I, we actually had two baptisms and confirmations!! There was one sister named Sarah who was baptized on Sunday last week and was confirmed this past Sunday. And this weekend on Saturday, a brother named Brian was baptized and was able to be confirmed on Sunday as well!!
We have been doing a lot of traveling this week. We go to members houses throughout the week usually for something like an FHE (family home evening), but a lot of the members live VERY far out from the church and we have to get into taxis multiple times in one day. The taxis are SUPER hot inside and a lot of times, they make you sit 4 per row when there are only 3 seats in a row. And these taxis are actually the size of vans and are not even close to the types of taxis back in the US. Honestly, the taxis I've been in back home were all way better compared to the ones here.
Well that has basically been the week right there!! Not much else to talk about since we kept getting bounced.
This is Elder Buchanan, signing off!!
Sorry for only one picture
