Achievement Unlocked: Contact Contact 100%



HEY! This was a fairly uneventful week since Elder Smith was sick for about 2 and a half days. But we still have some cool stories! Most of which will be described in pictures.

Pictures: Last District Council Meeting. We went to Jackpot again. We found some Peruvians who wanted to come to church. It was a good day. We ate at the buffet again. This time I was prepared and ate tons of seafood.

After dinner we contacted a few more people and hoped to repeat the San Jacinto situation from last week. So we went to CONTACT, NEVADA. It is pretty much a ghost town. We talked to one lady and she told us that she was the only one in town that day. Her neighbor was on vacation and her sister was in Twin. There were only two other residents that she told us about. So we took advantage and took some pictures while we were there. It is way too far out there to make it again. But at least they know they DO have missionaries!















Love you all! Have a good week!

-Elder Hazeslip

PS: So today as we left to come to Twin. A trailer with an excavator on it caught a power line and pulled down 2 poles. We saw the lines arcing on the ground!

FUN TIMES!

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...

                    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...
