WELL! I'm not in Hansen anymore. I am in the Declo area. Which was Elder Gaston's old area. Where he stayed for 3 transfers with his MTC companion. Now I am here with my MTC Companion Elder Blashill. es loco. We cover Springdale (x2 wards), Declo (x2 wards), and Albion (1 ward and a YSA Branch) It has been a crazy week. This Monday we did indeed play golf. It was really fun. The golf course was down in the canyon.   Tuesday  was spent in the shadow of the looming transfer calls. We eventually survived and I got the news. Wednesday  was the goodbye tour. There were a lot of people in Hansen that I got to know really well over the past 6 months. I'll have to come by after my mission and say hi, but I'm excited for all the new people I will meet out here in Declo. We also went to Maxie’s in Kimberly for the last time. Thursday  it happened. It was really quite exciting. I was going on an adventure! Here is the

For some reason I am not super short on time today. Now the pressure is on because I can't use that as an excuse. Well then...  This week has been pretty cool. The anticipation of getting transfer calls next week has been eating me alive. (Tomorrow at ~9:30 is when it will all be revealed) On  Monday  we just played basketball and volleyball again.

Hola! If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this is the longest email I will send home. This was a good week, we went to Shoshone falls on Monday, then we went to go play basketball for the rest of the day. Shoshone Falls: We visited some members who had no neighbors. We saw some houses around them but they told us that nobody lives there anymore. The houses were used for a cockfighting ring that got busted a few years ago. They told us to look around it and we did.  Creepy Abandoned Cockfighting House: I got to see 4 of my past 5 companions this week. (Elder Marin is in Orem so it would be hard to see him). Missionary Reunion: Elder Gaston picked up a little snake. He asked me to take a picture of him with the snake. As I stepped into the grass to get a better angle I stepped right next to another (bigger) snake. He picked up that one too. That one was a lot meaner. It tried to
