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!

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

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

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
