Then that night I ate a taquito.

HOLA personas! Sorry for the lack of intro, I gotta go kinda fast. Also, I forgot to take pictures. So this morning I took several and will attach all of them (even the low-quality ones) you can decide which ones are good. HIGHLIGHTS: Snow. Mexico. Canyon. Bikes? Ok. Monday: We played basketball. For a very long time. I didn't jam my finger this time though! Balling is hard when everyone else is at least 5 inches taller than you. (We still won a few times)​ (Thank goodness for Ross) Also I saw this: Go Hogs! Tuesday: We spent pretty much the whole day going through the less-active members list. We met a lot of neat people. Then after correlation meeting, we met an elderly couple. He told us a lot of stories about riding horses to school and getting them stuck in the snow. Also some poor kid back in the 30s I guess got his finger cut off at school in an accident, and a while later they found it and used it to scare the girls. We ...

Elder Gaston eats >5 dozen eggs...

Hello! I'm still in Hansen. Elder Snow went to Malta, and my new comp is Elder Gaston de Florida. He came out in the same group I did but he was in the Mexico MTC for that time. Everyone else in our district stayed except Sister Rap, she's in Boise. The only OG Kimberly District member now is Sister Fangaiuiha. Ok. Monday: PREPARATION DAY! We didn't end up bowling but we did play basketball. I jammed my finger again. I am convinced my right ring finger is just made out of jelly. After that we showered and helped the Kimberly Elders move beds into their new apartment. Tuesday: Oh yeah, we were excited about transfer calls. We finalized our predictions. I thought that Elders Karim and Kartchner were staying together. Elder Snow was going to Wendell. And Sister Fangaiuiha was going to stay and train. We had a dinner appointment together with the Kimberly Elders (thus the picture you got on Tuesday night mom) and we got the calls together. Elder Snow...

ALRIGHTY THEN! Today was a crazy week. I almost forgot I went to Boise. Here's what went down. Monday: Preparation day! We played basketball. I jammed two of my fingers. And I made chicken that I was proud of. Here are pictures. ​ After that we had exchanges again. I was still with Elder Kartchner but this time in our area!  Tuesday: On exchanges with Elder Kartchner. We had a pretty successful day. Even though we just did English work. We had a lot of appointments in Murtaugh but they all cancelled so we just stayed in Hansen.  Wednesday: District Meeting! Elder Durst (one of our Zone Leaders) is ready to go home. He currently has about 36 hours left on the mission. Trunkiness is inevitable. We then helped them with a service project and checked out the new apartment that they are going to be moving into. Then that night Elder Karim told us we needed to stay the night at their house because he wanted to go on exchanges again for his app...

Do you want to build a snowman?

This week was cold, windy, and went by really fast. Here's what went down. Tuesday: Went on exchanges in Kimberly with Elder Kartchner. I cleaned up everything from Facebook. It took too long. My thumb was sore from swiping and un-tagging. So sorry if I untagged myself from your picture, just tag me back on July 30th, 2019. We had a good day though. We mostly went through some lists their wards gave them. They are both new in the area, so they are trying to figure out what to do. We also had elk and deer steaks for dinner. They were actually good. Me gusta. I liked the deer better. Too bad we don't have those back home.  Wednesday: ZONE CONFERENCE! We talked a lot about Facebook, Technology, and Grace. Another good talk about grace? The Gift of Grace  by (then) President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. We also read a lot of scriptures about it, since it is very often misunderstood. Definitely something worth studying. Afterwards we had a lesson with an investigator ...
