Blurry picture of the inside of our house.  Monday: After we finished our emails we went to Culver's. I got full. Then we went and played disc golf in the rain. It was fun. Tuesday: We went to Murtaugh. We had dinner, and visited people. Not much of interest happened that day. Wednesday: District Meeting! I worked on my talk for Sunday. I realized that it was a day before Thanksgiving. Which means that it is also close to CHRISTMAS! Thursday: Thanksgiving! We had our "dinner" at noon. We tried talking to people but pretty much everyone was busy because it was Thanksgiving. Then we had a 30 min "Lunch" that night. Later on I continued to work on my talk. Friday: We started handing out  Light The World cards. I had a headache, but I took Ibuprofen and it went away. Elder Marin did his My Plan again, so I got to sit behind him in the library for a while. He is getting closer to the Dating and Marriage part. He is not excited...

HI! Monday: We did indeed go to Jump Time. It was exhausting. I did a back flip for the first time. That was fun. I did land on my head a couple times too. That was less fun. After that we had to kinda scramble to get the other Elders to an appointment and switch cars back with some sister missionaries but it all worked out. We have a Rogue (w/ AWD) now, so the winter can't hurt us. (It actually can). Tuesday: Not much. We accidentally found a less active member. So that was neat Wednesday: We went to Murtaugh and had a District Meeting.  Thursday: Not much, weekly planning. We were in Murtaugh later that day, it was dark and raining and we were walking around and the power went out, so that was kinda cool. Friday: I was on exchanges with the Kimberly Elders. Specifically Elder Collins. We helped a man move for about three hours. After that we walked around Kimberly and visited people because they were out of miles. It was co...

Why do I type like I'm running out of time? Because I am, let’s do this. Tuesday: Really the only thing I remember from today was that we got transfer calls. I got transferred to Kimberly. Elder Hodge and I drank hot chocolate to deal with it.  Wednesday: We spent our last day in Oakley, that is what most of the pictures consist of. We had dinner with the Bliss family. It was good. We also found out that they know the Cooke family in Oregon. Small world and crazy that we had dinner with them the last day I was in Burley. They said they lived in Eastern Oregon. Then when I pressed for more info they mentioned Hermiston. Pretty much a dead giveaway at that point. Their son was the source of this weeks subject line. He asked me and Elder Hodge if we liked spicy foods. We said yes. The subject line was his response.  After that me and Elder Hodge took a road trip up to Boise where we spent the night with the assistants, that was really fun. Their house is right...

Ok, gotta go fast. As always. Tuesday: Halloween! We had to be in the house by 7:00, so we did the studying at the end of the day instead. In the morning we raked leaves and bagged them and put them in a truck. I much prefer to burn them, the raking part took about 30 minutes but the other hour and a half or so was trying to get them into bags and the truck. After that we visited a less active member named Pedro. We caught him at the right time because he is about to go back down to visit family in Mexico for the winter. Pretty smart. It’s getting cold. Later on we were the judges for the 9th ward's Chili Cook Off. That was enough to fill me up. There were a little over 20 different chili's to judge. After that we had a meeting with the Branch Mission Leader for the last few minutes of the day and got into our house right at 7.  No candy yet, that came on Wednesday. Wednesday: We got supplies from the Zone Leaders and I also got my Halloween Package. El...
