Week #4 - 02/10/15

Not much to report this week. Still learning, still studying like crazy. The second I think I am starting to get a grip on the language, I turn the corner and see the vast path I still have ahead of me, but its going well. We got a new district in our zone and so we have had to show them around and train them, since we are zone leaders. Some of these guys know more spanish than I do now. I feel so stupid sometimes, but I know ill get there. Its weird turning 19 tomorrow, its absolutely just another day. The sisters want to do something, but I honestly dont care. I feel so old.

Oh yea, my district got in huge trouble this week, and they assigned us a night teacher to watch us. Some tools came into our classroom after we left and threw food on the ceiling and on the floor or something. The teachers came in in the morning and gave us this huge speach in rapid spanish, and we were all so confused because we had no idea what they were talking about a "Secret Fiesta", and the fact that it was in crazy fast spanish didnt help.  All the teachers of our zone made a meeting with Elder and sister zone leaders, and they took away a lot of our control. Its kinda wierd, because we are all given assignments by our branch president and we are in a branch council as leaders, and we are suppose to be governing ourselves like adults, but the teachers work seperately and dont trust us, so we dont have any real power anymore. My branch president got an email from one of the teachers that our zone was doing all sorts of things, and the Elders are having underground wrestling matches as an initiation and other stuff like that, but it said it was in a dorm that wasnt even near us, and was in an only sisters dorm to boot. He burst out laughing when he read it to us at ward council. My branch president said that he knows we didnt do anything and had no idea where the reports were coming from, but said to not worry about it and let the teachers do their thing. Now we always joke about wrestling in casa 6.  I dont really care much, gives me more time to study anyway, but it does kinda suck being blamed and not trusted for something we never even heard of.  We just laugh it off. 

 Love you, and catch you next week.
