HOLA!

This week was really eventful (and therefore, very fast). We had 2 new people come to sacrament meeting this week. Yeah, so, um... Here is the rest of the email.

We do service at the senior center in Buhl from time to time. They gave us a tour of the upstairs portion of the building this week. It was built in the 20s and was pretty much abandoned in the 60's, although they used it as a homeless shelter until the 80's. It was cool to see the history of the town.

Hotel Buhl:








The creepy dolls were made by a few women in the town. It was their hobby. If you are on Main Street you can see them looking out the window. Just a little bit creepy to me IMHO.


EXCHANGES WITH ELDER EASTER (STIRLING, ALBERTA, CANADA)

San Jacinto, Nevada:











So, south of Jackpot is a small area called San Jacinto. It's pretty much just a ranch. Well, we drove out there and talked to all the people who were there at that time. It was really cool. They don't get visitors often, so they showed us around. We asked if we could come back to share about Jesus Christ and said we could come back any time.


Jackpot:






Lots of Hispanic people here! Elder Easter is practicing his Spanish and we found a few people who hadn't been visited by missionaries before. That is always fun to do! We ended up having dinner at the Cactus Pete's Buffet with the branch president. The trip was definitely worth it.

The only other major event this week was Zone Conference. 3 people in my previous district gave departing testimonies (Sister Gossling, Elder Silva, Elder Miller). Time is running out!

Love you all!

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...
