Family,
If another missionary were discouraged, what you tell him to help him stay positive?
I would ask him why he came out.
You said Joseph Smith was a beast (and a lot of other good adjectives!), but can you think of an example of him being a beast? Why do you feel so strongly to defend him?
Because so many people bash on him and they don't even know who he is! So I defend him cause he went through literally hell to provide the best stuff for them and people just don't understand; that is what ticks me off.
What is one specific example of how the Holy Ghost helped you this past week?
Did you get the package and will everything work?
Yes I got my package thanks so much for it to!! YA they will work fine.
People ask me what your plans are... I just say what you said in the past... still true?
Ya that's pretty close just go home and hunt and fish and work and I'm still kinda debating BYU-I or Utah State.
Thanks mom for that I needed something like that. But ya the week was kinda a dud, that's ok mine are mostly like that so you get use to them after a while.
My week
Mon. We went on this deal - the tram when we go back to visit this place we are definitely going to get in it. Holy cow it was cool. I hate heights, but this takes you up in a glass box on cables and takes you up 10,000 feet you can see all of New Mexico literally all of it!!! It was really cool- not much to look at, but still cool. Then we came back and played a little more basketball!!
Tues. So today was a ton of stopping by then we got a great dinner with the Taylor's they are so stinking funny!! We had a good night with them.
Wed. Exchanges with Elder Young. We biked around looking for people and found 1 so who knows how it will be? But we did get to cut down a massive tree, that was a highlight because we hooked straps to it and had to pull it so it wouldn't hit the flower bed, but still we had a good time doing it. Then had a crazy dinner - just kinda loud and then we had a couple member visits.
Thurs. Today we had some service at the food bank and we got to make bales in a baler, but for cardboard so it was pretty good, we had a good time doing that. Then we came back and did a little more service and had to get an air conditioner deal up on a roof so that was fun!! Then we had a good blessing and a good dinner then a little more finding so it was good.
Fri. We had district council and we had a ok time there. Then we had a couple of appointments with people that we were teaching and the members came with us so we had a good time doing that then we made our own dinner and we called a 1000 people.
Sat. So we had a few bike problems- ya it never really stops ever!!! So we had to do that and then we visited a few people and taught a few lessons which is better then nothing. Then we went to dinner and had some steaks and talked to the bishop for a while.
Sun. Church well no one came really, but we did that. Then I got to call a lady back on the reservation because her husband passed away this week, and we were pretty close so that kinda took a blast, but its ok. Then we ate dinner with the Martin family. But then we got to have a little family home evening with our investigator in the mission president's home so that was a little nerve racking but ya it went good.
So that was kinda my week not a lot but I'll send a few pictures your way thanks a lot and I hope you all have a great week.
