Hello All of my friends, family, and loved ones!
Unfortunately this week my letter will not be super long. I hope you find room to forgive me, but we had a pretty rough week.  This week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesday, we were coming home from District Council and it began to rain on us. So me and my companion started jogging home. Then the rain began to pick up so we began to sprint to the apartment! Unfortunately the rain was faster than both of us and we were destroyed by the rain! It was so heavy and windy. The rain was going sideways and it did not feel like water, it felt like gravel! So we got home soaked, changed, showered and waited for the rain to stop. Finally it stopped around 5:30 - 6 so we had enough time to get dressed and then go see one person.
Wednesday and Thursday were fine, no rain, but super hot. Although, from the time we left our apartment at 10am, we were walking, walking, and walking. Appointments were falling through, people were making excuses, people not being around because they forgot we were coming, trying to find and teach new people...... none of it was working. We sat down from 12:30-1 for lunch, then continued. After lunch, the same pattern continued. Nobody was meeting with us. We had appointments, but ALL of them were falling through. Until finally at 4pm our appointment came through! Then after that we just one more lesson. Then we were so tired around 6:30 we decided to go home. Luckily this time, we got home just before some small rain came!
On Thursday the same thing happened, only someone came through at 3 and 4! Then from there for the rest of the evening.... nobody :(
Life goes on doing its normal crazy things. Uncontrollable, crazy, unpredictable, fun, sad, joyful, boring. You just never know! BUT! God knows! He gives you exactly what you need exactly when you need it! So for all I know, that was what I needed at that time and I don't know why.
I love you all, I hope you had a better week than I did! Thank you for all of your love and support!
Odo,
Elder Brandt
