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

Rest assured, we are staying VERY busy.

HOLA!  [Warm-up] Ok, I'm just gonna start writing because I don't even know what to say to get myself started typing. The smoke came back and I'm not too happy about that. Maybe I'll delete this when I am done, maybe not. Only time will tell. Last Preparation day we went to the Steadmans in Raft River. We got to do the slides without water. It didn't work too well, so it kinda just turned into a competition to see who could make it the farthest. We also did the zipline. That was pretty fun. Especially if you use the slide blankets as a cape. We did service again at the barnyard. We helped pick some of the vegetables I helped plant  4 MONTHS AGO?!?!!?  Time really needs to chill out, we got way too many vegetables and are scrambling to use them for something before they go bad. S uggestions? Way too much kale: I also saw what an artichoke looks like if you let it bloom. It looks like this: Elder Livingston and

The Lord can always use you for something, even if it is just for a bad example.

Ok, it is time to write an email detailing this weeks events. (Alternative Subject Line was "Mountains to Climb", but I went with the best quote from Sunday School this week instead) Last preparation day we went hiking with half of the district in Sun Valley.  Sun Valley is home to the world’s first chair lift, and we hiked the mountain (Proctor) that it was constructed on. Here are pictures (feat. TREES!?!): Our [not] pet was meowing and patting at the window by Elder Silva's bed when we got up in the morning (we are on the second floor). So we opened the window to take it back downstairs.  Elder Silva likes lint rollers. Another perk of serving in Sun Valley is that we have a mountain in our backyard. So for our morning exercise on Saturday we tried to see how far up we could get before we had to go back. We had some members come with us. We didn't make it even halfway, but we did get high enough to get ti
