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!

HOLA!  [Warm-up] Ok, I'm just gonna start writing because I don't even know what to say to get myself started typing. The smoke came back and I'm not too happy about that. Maybe I'll delete this when I am done, maybe not. Only time will tell. Last Preparation day we went to the Steadmans in Raft River. We got to do the slides without water. It didn't work too well, so it kinda just turned into a competition to see who could make it the farthest. We also did the zipline. That was pretty fun. Especially if you use the slide blankets as a cape. We did service again at the barnyard. We helped pick some of the vegetables I helped plant  4 MONTHS AGO?!?!!?  Time really needs to chill out, we got way too many vegetables and are scrambling to use them for something before they go bad. S uggestions? Way too much kale: I also saw what an artichoke looks like if you let it bloom. It looks like this: Elder Livingston and

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

The Lord can always use you for something, even if it is just for a bad example.

Ok, it is time to write an email detailing this weeks events. (Alternative Subject Line was "Mountains to Climb", but I went with the best quote from Sunday School this week instead) Last preparation day we went hiking with half of the district in Sun Valley.  Sun Valley is home to the world’s first chair lift, and we hiked the mountain (Proctor) that it was constructed on. Here are pictures (feat. TREES!?!): Our [not] pet was meowing and patting at the window by Elder Silva's bed when we got up in the morning (we are on the second floor). So we opened the window to take it back downstairs.  Elder Silva likes lint rollers. Another perk of serving in Sun Valley is that we have a mountain in our backyard. So for our morning exercise on Saturday we tried to see how far up we could get before we had to go back. We had some members come with us. We didn't make it even halfway, but we did get high enough to get ti
