It looks like y'all are having a party in here!



HEY!
So this this week was exchanges with Elder Silva. He is from Peru and the easiest missionary to get along with in the world.


​We visited the retired deputy again and mostly got stories about crashing cop cars. And we also saw some pigs. That service got cancelled this week because they were sick. So we had to find other stuff to do, we found new pigs.

​Later on in the week we had the first ever "District Council". 

If you didn't hear, they released a new version of Preach My Gospel. 

"District Meetings" have been replaced with "District Council". It is basically the same thing but we all sit in a circle now.

Also, the word "Investigator" is now pretty much a swear word. The new term is "person being taught" or "person with interest".

District Council

After the District Council meeting the hubcap on our Corolla fell off. The Malta Elders were behind us so they picked it up. This will be more important a bit later.

Here are some pictures from Albion. We drove a bit closer to the mountain than we normally go and I found TREES!

​Also reindeer! (Elk farm in Albion)

​I wonder what the rent on this place would be?

​Anyway, after we came down from Albion on Sunday, we realized that the hubcap was missing again. With no Malta Elders to save us this time, we now begin the search throughout our area for a 2014 Corolla hubcap...

OH YEAH! Arkansas made it to the college world series! We walked in on someone watching it. Apparently I was visibly excited or something because his wife ran to the TV and turned it off. Which got me a sympathetic look from her husband.

I later on found out that they lost...

Anyway! I PROMISE this was a good week. Just kinda tame. You can't live life in the LOCO lane every week.

That being said, things around here can't stay this tame for long. Looking forward to the week ahead!!

Love you all!

Q & A
1. Best day this week? Probably Friday, I was on exchanges with Elder Silva (also trained by Elder Hodge). We actually had pretty much all of our appointments cancel, so that was a bit of a bummer. But it was still fun though.

2. What made you lol this week? It was pretty funny watching the Malta elders walk up behind us with our hubcap. It apparently was a good excuse to get them out of a phone call that wouldn't end, "UHH! We gotta go! Their tire fell off!" *Click*

3. What did you learn this week? There is a new preach my gospel. It is for all members to read and not just FT Missionaries. Consider this a book recommendation!

4. Song recommendation? In The Blood -John Mayer

5. Best food this week? We had a hot dog roast while I was with Silva. That was a first and pretty good.

6. Any July 4th Ward parties? I don't know. We are going to help with the 4th of July parade in Albion. They pretty much all just have community events that they do instead of just Church events.

7. Spiritual highlight this week? Definitely our visit with J.! He has such a strong testimony it is crazy. Hope I don't get transferred so I can stay here to see it!

8. Any questions for me? YES! Origin of the words (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, etc.)

9. Do you need anything? Soo... Confession time. I left my retainer at home... SO if you could send that. I will start the process of cramming it back in!

10. How are your investigators  persons with interest doing? They are doing alright. We weren't able to meet with a lot of them. J. is still progressing strong. We just need to get him an interview and get it done!

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...
