"Of course! Because you're Mexicans"




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 across the street from the temple. Thus the picture of the temple through the window. Elder Hodge also saw a friend of his who is just returning to the mission this transfer. He also spent the night with the assistants. Elder Hodge called this trip "the most inspired, tender mercy doctor’s appointment ever".
Thursday:

 We went to the Doctor, and drove back to Twin Falls to do the exchanges. I met Elder Marin, my new companion. He is going home in 6 weeks so I guess I will have another companion then too. He's a good missionary though and also a native speaker. Good stuff all around. 

 Friday:

 Because Elder Marin is on his last transfer he has to do this thing called MyPlan, it is essentially RM (Returned Missionary) training. So I got to watch him do that. He told me not to get trunky, but that's my secret cap', I'm always trunky. JK. But for real, there were a bunch of kids on the computer next to him. Pure gold. One was watching one of those creepy YouTube Kids videos that are really badly animated. And this other kid had "lose yourself" by Eminem playing on one tab, some WatchMojo video open in another and was looking for Roblox games in another tab. Pure legend he was, and only about 7 years old too! 

 Saturday:

 We stacked firewood with the Ratto Family. Elder Marin was chucking logs like his life depended on it. I somehow managed to keep up. It was fun though. After that we had dinner and visited some more families. I began to be less lost with the area starting this day.

 Sunday:

 We went to two full sessions of church today. We cover the Murtaugh and Hansen wards in English and the whole Kimberly Stake in Spanish. So we went to both of our English wards. I almost died. We talked to President Bartlett and we will only be going to three hours per week from now on. The rest of the time we will be proselytizing.

 Monday:

 PREPARATION DAY

 Really not much yet. Cleaning and Walmart so far. Later on we are planning on going to this trampoline place. So that should be fun.
LOVE YOU ALL! Also I'm gonna remember to attach the pictures this time!

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...

First P-Day

                    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...
