Well this week is over! i dont know what more i can say about it! it was a pretty slow week with not much going on. we had an ok week of lessons even through the sickness. i dont know what it is but we cant go a whole week without one of us being sick! the forces of Guyana are getting at us haha! We have just finished week 3 of this transfer and i feel like it is slow. i feel like i will probably be leaving guyana this time or at least a change of scenary! we are doing good but it could be better. Obedience is a big issue on things. and if someone from the caribbean doesnt want to change they wont. but we are still working and trying to get past it!
Right now i feel like i am trying to teach three different things all from my companion, the branch and the investigators! I am working with the branch at trying to gain unity and work together to help them grow, but they arent realizing that it is their job and we are just the help. we cant do everything even though we try our best! The Branch Councel meetings that we have are so crazy sometimes. THey last an hour or more and nothing is settled or done. Sometimes i miss the structure of a bigger ward but then again i like to help them get to that point! I have seen this branch go from 85 members all the way to 26 and then slowly climb up to the 70 that we had yesterday! that is a big range. I also have like 3 callings that i fill in for people who arent there! i am a pianist, secritary/clerk/1st couselor, plus elders quorum teacher! i guess all those years of being a leader in the young men has helped me a lot! I love teaching but sometimes it is hard when they dont under stand the basics so we spend a lot of time on the basics! and i want to teach more than that. But it is good!
Im sorry this week was so short. i also didnt take any pictures this week but i will do better at that! next week will be more! i promise! have a great week. and thank you for all of your prayers on my behalf! i love you! Be safe!
Love
Elder Nathanial Woodruff!
