The Fresh Air of the Gospel

The hardest part of writing a weekly email is the subject line... Jumping right in with Monday: We had quite an eventful preparation day! We went to the house of a family that lives in the Albion ward. We had dinner with them and they told us we could come over and make rings out of quarters.  So we did that... Just Put It On Like That  The Lord of The Rings   It was really fun, we also got to play in their game room for a bit, turns out I'm really not good at pool. Should've used the blue cube chalk thing, probably would have done better. After that we went to the HAUNTED MANSIONS OF ALBION. You may have seen it on Ghost Adventures before. It's pretty scary. Mainly because it is filled with a maze of scary props and actors. New Comp  I was at the front of the group through the first building, at least until we got into the second room and the guy who let us in (whom we lost track of)  grabbed my arm and tried ...

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.

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...

Hey! It was a good week. Cool stuff happened. I'm gonna tell you about it and there is nothing you can do to stop me. As we were returning from exchanges last week, we saw what appeared to be a dairy in our area. This is exciting because diaries usually result in people to teach in Spanish. After a lot of asking we went out there and talked to the owner.  It is in the Rupert Stake. His property line is the stake boundary. We felt pretty bad until he told us that there wasn't anyone to teach there anyway. Here are pictures from the dairy hunting excursion: Later on in the week we were having dinner with a family in Springdale when we found out that they had invited a friend to dinner. She wasn't able to make it, but they told us that she had questions about the church and wanted to talk to missionaries! So we asked them if they could set up another time for us to meet with her and they are working on that right now.  We had heard a lot about...
