I Like Stickers



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. Elder Hodge and I did lesson one of the Russian CD thing while waiting on them, and Elder Murphy (one of the assistants who was on exchanges with the Burley Zone Leaders) was confused. We got a new DVD player in the supplies and also got some magazines and planners and other good stuff. The Halloween Package had lots of candy. It made up for us missing the Trunk or Treat. Also a lot of bouncy balls that are now scattered about the house. 


Late Halloween treats from home!


Thursday:

Not much, we had weekly planning in the morning and taught some people in the afternoon. I also got to call Sister Bartlett.

Friday:

District Meeting. Based on what the Zone Leaders told me. We are getting smartphones sometime soon. So that is good. We had the Safeguards for Using Technology lesson too. So that is going to be very useful in the future. I got called here at just the right time. Later on I lost one of my gloves. I figured it fell out of the car door. 

Saturday:

We went to the Meridian Temple Open House! Again! The Temple was still great. But it was different than the first time we went through, they moved us through a lot faster. I have more pictures now. The trip to Boise is tiring. We rode the bus but the heater didn't work very well. Also did I mention it was snowing? After the temple tour we went to Golden Corral for dinner/lunch. It wasn't that great but I ate a lot of it. There were regrets as we got back on the bus. Also, lots of people in Idaho have Subarus, and a lot of other people have really poorly modified Subarus. When we got back we drove to where I thought I lost my glove. I found it under some snow. It is good to have two gloves again.


I Love To See The Temple


Sunday:

Fast Sunday! We went to church and the other Spanish Elders who are serving in an English area were there: Elder Hernandez and Elder Arbon. After that we visited some families and it was cold again. We dropped in on Elders Sparkman and West too. Elder Sparkman is ready to go home. He leaves Tuesday. 

Monday:

Preparation Day! We went to a few thrift stores and Walmart and now I am writing emails! Yay!

At some point during the week I saw a plaque of an Elder who is serving in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission right now. I don't remember his name but he was in one of the Unity Wards. 


OK LOVE YOU BYE!

Wow! This week was really good. I know because it felt like a few days, but looking back it contained a month of top quality content. Service: We did service at the Barnyard again. This week they had us pound in like 20 T-posts. They fenced in their entire front yard because too many chickens crossed the road. T: "We just can't figure out what it is that they want out there in the road..." Me (In my mind because I'm not that bold): An escape from their cruel existence? Anyway, I still saw the pig. This is the sow, they moved her in on her own because she is going to have babies and they don't want the other pigs to eat them... Pigs are pigs. S: On Tuesday, we went to read the Book of Mormon with S. As we were talking to him, he told us to follow him to the basement house to see if we could pick up his ammo can full of pennies. We could barely do it. Which reminds me of a riddle (see end for answer). What weighs mo...

THIS WEEK This format of email seemed to work well while I was in the MTC. So I'm going to do it like this again today. Tuesday: Tuesday was preparation day. We  went to Twin Falls. It was kinda rough because we had to go with some other Elders and it took longer than expected. But we did get all we needed. I will send you pics.  Wednesday: We went to Oakley! We got lost trying to find dinner and got the Cruze stuck in the mud. We are going to ask for the RAV4, anyway, I found some dead brush and stuck it under the wheel and we escaped. We had dinner and then went to visit a less active family to see how they were doing. We got lost and almost went to Utah. But we didn't. We went to go visit some other families but nobody was home. I don't remember what day this happened, but we also ended up behind the Oakley reservoir, I got pics. I'm fairly certain we visited Walter today too. He is a legend. He is from Peru, he was a shepherd an...

                    Elder Blashill y Yo                    Introduction of Characters: -Elder Blashill:  Mí compañero por el CCM. He's from Amarillo, TX and is also going to Boise. - Elder Utrilla:  Another missionary in our room. From Utah and going to Argentina. -Elder Hutchison:  Also in our room, from Utah and going to Ventura California. -Elder Foley:  Had 11 years of Spanish classes, but chose to be in the intermediate class instead of the native speaker class because he wanted más training en el CCM. From New Jersey and going to Logan Utah. Summary: So we recently found out that the only reason our district (the missionaries in my Spanish class, 6 companionships) has tablets is because Elder Foley is going on a tablet mission, so everyone else in the class gets a tablet to use cuando en el CCM. We are all very grateful for him. The biggest b...
