FINALLY DONE WITH 12 WE... oh really... OK never mind



This format really is the most effective. It'll stick around a while.

Monday:
Best Preparation day. We went to Red Robin and did an Escape Room. It was really neat. Our district was able to get out in about 45 mins or so. At one point a hidden door flew open and there was a dummy behind it. That scared the two people who had their face right next to it a bit. 
Other than that, you probably know that smartphones will be here in January. So that will be cool.



Tuesday:
I was on exchanges with Elder Erwin. It was also very cold and foggy. Cafe Rio is good. Also Interviews with President Bartlett and also I got a few packages. THANKS ANNA and THE BALL FAMILY! 



Wednesday:
Elder Marin had a departing temple trip in the morning so I dropped him off at the temple and went to the zone leader's apartment for the morning. After that we had a District meeting and not much happened after that. Oh yeah! Hansen Christmas Party! I got a picture with Santa! 

Thursday:
Weekly planning. Elder Marin packed his stuff. We handed out Light the World Cards. I slept.

Friday:
Elder Marin finished MyPlan. We got our house inspected. We passed. Other than that not much.

Saturday:
We had three baptisms! After that we ate Pizza! We split and stacked some more wood and were pretty busy all day. FUN!



Sunday:
We had three confirmations! Elder Marin finished his mission! I finished 12 week training! I never have to do it again! Except right after that, I found out that I am training a new missionary! so yeah! Exclamation Point!

Today:
We are in Boise. Elder Marin had his departing interview. Me and Elder Wright will stay up here for tonight then we will go back to Hansen. Wednesday I will get my new companion. 
I'm excited when things change. It doesn't happen often. So, I'm pumped about this next week. Anyway, here are the pictures, they are kinda blurry! LOVE YOU!

Q & A 

1. Do you know/when did you find out if you’re staying in Hansen for another transfer? Who will be your next companion?
Yep, probably 2 more transfers. I'm training a new missionary. He will be here on Wednesday.

2. How was it to be the last companion for a returning missionary? Both on opposite ends of your journey.
Weird. I know that I will be going home at some point, but it is so far away it pretty much doesn't exist in any practical sense. It's like seeing into the future. A lot of the real world has been leaking in.

3. Why did Elder Marin not want to go home? I don’t think it’s all that unusual, just curious what his reasons were.
IDK. He wants to be a missionary for the rest of his life. 

4. How was the sushi and escape room? Take any pics?
We actually ended up going to Red Robin. The escape room was amazing. Most satisfying end to a preparation day ever. They actually should have a picture of us on their Facebook page. Check out Twin Falls Escape Rooms on FB.

5. What made you laugh THIS week?
Something in the escape room. There was a door that flew open and a dummy behind it. Some of the missionaries had their face right next to it and got scared. After that we all laughed a bit.

6. Do you need anything?
I do need boots probably. I'll look around here to see if I can find any for a good price.

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...
