Ya my week was pretty crazy. It sounds like you all had a great week and I hope that this next one goes good for you all. Dang, I about had a nervous breakdown when I saw that fish Carson caught. But when you said it was 14, boy he looks a lot bigger than that! I'm surprised by those teams in the Final Four but I have no clue who is going to win. I hope calving goes good too.

What, if anything, is a struggle for you at this point in your mission? How are you overcoming it?
There are a pile of hippies so that is kinda tough for me, but I am getting over it by knowing that they need to hear the message I have for them no matter what.
Monday - So it was missionary Monday which is when we all went to the temple. It was pretty good because I felt the spirit good time and it was good to have a spiritual boost. Then we went to the Weck's and it was a lunch place. It was pretty good, then we drove all the way back and we played some pretty good ball. We have a pretty good zone of basketball, so that is good. Then we had a good time and a good dinner at the Barrones' house. They are awesome. They are a big time wrestling family, so I get along with them really good.
Tuesday - Well today we went to this place called the giving tree and did some service we got a bunch of food and set up for tomorrow. Then we ended up having to shop and then had dinner and then we had a few lessons so that was good and tried to contact a few people.
Wednesday - Today was the giving tree deal.But I handed out food all day. I never want to see another tomato again. Yikes. Then we went to ta few houses and mind you, this whole time we are on bikes. Then we went to play a little basketball with a nonmember but they didn't show up. There were some other kids there, so we ended up playing a game and then we had some dinner and tried to contact a few people, but they are always saying no, but in a nice way, so I can't complain.
Thursday - So we had to walk to Walmart and we got some bike parts so it was ok. So I rednecked the heck out of a bike we had in the apartment. Ya, it didn't have a middle piece, so I got a wrench and shoved it up there and then I wired it and then duck taped it, and it worked pretty good, so it was ok. Then we went to a lady's house and fixed her fence. Boy, I never thought I would say it, but it felt so good. We mixed some concrete and stuff and then nailed some stuff in, so it was great. Then we went to dinner and then we had to do our weekly planning for the rest of the evening.
Friday - So we had to ride a bus down to District Council. It took like an hour and a half to get all the way down there. And our district is super small, and it is all elders, so I am pumped about that. Then we went to Wendy's and I was hungry so I threw down a triple baconater. Boy, it was a hog, but it was super good. Then we rode the bus back and we went to contact a few more people, had dinner with the Gonzalas' family. They are super funny. They are old but pretty cool. Then we had to watch a few videos for the mission.
Saturday - So we were going to have a lesson with an investigator, but it fell through which is typical. But we did get to go to a hospital cafeteria and we had some pretty good food with a girl that is leaving on her mission here soon. Then the best part was we went to the church and I called Elder Winn. I got to Skype in on 2 investigators I found on the Rez and that was super cool. that made my day. Then we tried to go by a few other people and knocked on a few doors. We went to a fundraiser deal for some green chili enchiladas. Man that was a beast. Then we helped a guy move in and he literally had my dream home. I'll send some pictures.
Sunday - Se went to church and I had to talk, but the best part was the girl gave her farewell talk, and then my companion talked and I had to talk for like 4 minutes. Man, it was great. Then we had a pot luck that was fun and pretty good food Then we went hard and we tried to talk to a bunch of people and we struck out like 100 times, but to make up the night, we went to this guy, Diego Barrone. He is awesome. We split some of his wood and it was great in the snow. I know it sounds weird, but I was in heaven. Then we had dinner with them, and it was awesome. Elk burgers. This guy is super cool and his wife is funny and he has 2 little girls, so they are super cool.
But that was it for my week. It was a good one. So I hope I get a little more success here coming up. I love you all and I hope you have a great week.
Elder Reiley.
