This was one of the most rewarding weeks of my mission thus far. TL;DR: Exotic Meats with J. Slovak String Musicians on Dirt Bikes Throwing Stars Moving hay with A. J. got freaked out by his Alexa Elba is on Fire Fletcher is getting baptized J. GOT BAPTIZED When in Rome, go to Utah 1 Year left!?!??!?!!?!? Ok, now to elaborate on these points for those interested. Exotic Meats with J: After the Polish Sausages we had with J last time, he decided he needed to step up the exotic meats game. This time we were able to supply some lamb sausage from the Declo Barnyard people. Jim also had some Moose in his freezer. So we each had some Moose Burgers and Lamb Burgers. They honestly weren't too bad. Slovak String Musicians on Dirt Bikes: We were driving to an appointment when we saw a young man on a dirt bike, trying to start it while wearing flip flops. This didn't seem to out of the ordinary to us, so we continued down the road. We were t...

HI EVERYONE! We had transfer calls this week... Everyone stayed. We went to Lake Cleveland last Monday. It was definitely worth it. There was some rain coming in and we could hear the thunder. We were going to skip rocks, but there were a lot of people fishing, so we just kinda looked at it... Anyway, the most exciting story from this week came from service.

Hola amgios! Today marks the beginning of a new transfer. I couldn't have imagined a better climax than this past week. It went by ridiculously fast because of everything we were doing! It all started after I wrote my last email on Monday. We had a ward party at this famous place in Raft River called "The Steadman's". It is just a family's house that has two huge water slides, a zip line, volleyball nets, and a lot more. The water slides had just a little bit of water on it. Everyone kept asking us to go down it, I was ready to jump on, but Elder Blashill held strong and kept us from taking the slip 'n slide of questionable obedience. Which would have dragged us speedily down to 5 transfers in Acequia. ​   Also the candy cannon, the Steadman's very own atomic piñata:     The big miracle we had this week was that we couldn't find a referral we received. We were driving around and saw a kid with a cast up his leg. We ...
