WHY SO BLURRY

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.

Saturday:

We got a new investigator from the Light the World cards. He speaks Spanish. It has been a while since I have heard someone speak Spanish, but I was able to follow what he was saying pretty well.

Sunday:

I gave the talk. It went well. The primary released balloons with Spanish Light the World cards on it. They are probably all going to end up in a field but you never know. 

Monday:
I spent the morning trying to unclog a drain again. This house has metal pipes, so there wasn't much I can do... Later on we will buy things and eat things and then we will repeat the cycle all over again. 

This Thursday is the last day of November. Which means that the next day after that is December. Which means Christmas!

Q & A

How was your Thanksgiving? What was served? Grandma was hoping you would get hash brown casserole! I know it’s a Mormon thing too “funeral potatoes” but I don’t know if it’s served at Thanksgiving. Was it a big family event for your hosts?
Thanksgiving was good. I'm thinking... Wait what? I don't think there was hash brown casserole!  Mashed potatoes and lots of Jell-O though (Typical Mormons). Other than that pretty much just a normal Thanksgiving dinner. It was good though. They had a lot of family over and it was in a tent outside. 

How is your Spanish now? 
Spanish is good. Elder Marin is trying to learn English though so he doesn't talk to me in Spanish very often.

Best thing to happen this week? We started Light the World!

Have you met your neighbors? What are they like? Lol, yeah the guy across the street really doesn't like us. The next door neighbors seem kind of indifferent. Not very many members in our part of Hansen.

Have you been served any weird food? No weird food yet, just the Japanese BBQ

What do most people in Hansen/Kimberly do for jobs? Hmm. Lots of different things. Some work in dairies, others work at Walmart. Most of them work somewhere either in Twin Falls or Jerome.  

What made you laugh this week? Idk SORRY! I'm thinking really hard, I'm sure I laughed at some point this week but I just can't remember when!

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...
