I learned a little secret down in Alabama..


Ok. So here is what happened.

On preparation day we got our smartphones! Except Elder Snow, his wasn't there yet. We weren't allowed to turn it on, but I plugged it in and when the green battery thing came on we got scared and hid. It was freaky. I have pretty much gone 5 1/2 months without using one of those things.

On Tuesday we did missionary stuff with ward missionaries. The lessons went well. Also...

QOTD:
"I heard a little secret down in Alabama” -J.R.

On Wednesday we passed our home inspection. And taught two lessons in Spanish.

QOTD:
"He just does weird things."  -E.M.

Thursday we got to turn on the Smartphone and activate the Big Brother stuff on it, so I took a selfie with my companion.


On Friday we did the zone conference thing! It was really good. I was told to unlearn everything I thought I knew about technology. President Bartlett asked us what GIF stood for. I said Graphic Interchange Format, apparently I have to unlearn that too.  I also took pictures because that is what you do.






QOTD:
"Obedience is not a problem; it is the solution" -E.C.

Saturday we woke up to crazy stuff. Smartphone alarms are nice. We taught some more lessons and drove to Murtaugh to do that. We also ate at Chili's with Frank. It was good. Also pictures of Murtaugh.



Sunday we went to church and had a less-active member come to church!

Last picture of the week!

TODAY IS PREPARATION DAY!

I find out about transfers on Tuesday! Apparently lots of people are moving around. We will see what goes down! I personally think I am staying so we will see just how WRONG I am!

Love you all!

Bye!

Q & A 

1. Are you checking your email from your new smartphone today?!? How does it feel? Yes I did! I still have to write responses from the Library though.

2. Please explain your ranking of areas from last weeks email, I didn’t follow.  We were just guessing really. Which areas were the best based on housing, amount of Spanish work, size of area, etc. We really don't know some of the details so it would probably require more than just us to determine.

3. What was the event on Thursday? How did that go? Sadly didn't happen.

4. When do you find out about transfers? Tuesday Night! President Bartlett said that ~50% of us would be going though.

5. How are E and E? We have been praying for them (and you and all of your investigators). Anyone else we should pray for by name? Keep praying for E and E.

6. What was the topic of your Sunday talk last week? El LIBRO DE MORMON! 

7. Best thing to happen this week? We got Smartphones.

8. What did you learn this week? Time goes by fast, not just mission time, life time. Don't waste it. Also take care of yourself because you will be old one day. idk why, but it kinda hit me. (I still have time before I'm old, just planning ahead, Word of Wisdom is great)

9. What made you laugh this week? Listening to  "Over the Horizon" like 29 times while the sun rose going to Murtaugh. Also a member had Hillary Clinton toilet paper.

10. Do you need anything? Honestly not right now. Just want to know where I am going. (transfers)

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...
