It's been an interesting week. So for a general notice the post office isn't forwarding mail anymore. So this is the address you will need to send mail to.
Don't send me anything this week because we have transfers. If you sent me something this past week I probably won't get it until next week or so.
Monday I got a package and a letter inside that talked about mom. That was cool but that night we went down to Kirtland because we had MLC the next day. We went on splits with the zone leaders there and in the lesson we taught mom got brought up. That was really kinda interesting how mom got brought up so many times during the day. But it was good.
Tuesday we had MLC, always good and full of learning. Then I went and got a hair cut and the person who cut my hair is from Flora Vista. It was so good to see her again and be able to talk to her. She and her family are super funny and great to be around! Then we drove back to Bluff.
Wednesday I went on exchanges up to La Sal with Elder Means. That was a lot of fun. I got to play a 121 year old piano! AWESOME!!!!!! It was even in tune!
So Thursday was basically the first day that I got to work in my area for the week. Not much happened but we taught a couple of lessons and we FINALLY started to get sprickled with rain. That was the first time of the year for rain.
Friday we had another funeral at the church, only this time I was the pianist. It's a really interesting feeling knowing that you are the only person that about 100 people are hearing. So if you make a mistake EVERYONE knows. I did pretty good. Then we had a lesson with Kaylia, an 8 year old. She is so prepared! She has been taking great notes from reading the book of Mormon. She said the opening prayer and just blew us away because she quoted a little of I'm a child of God. Then she started talking about the pre earth life and how she wants to live with God again. It was just awesome!
Saturday was the funny story of the week, I just got new water bottle, someone sent it to me in a package. It's one of those metal ones that's circular and about a foot tall. Well I take it with me when we go biking cause it's a little harder to take the jug. I have this clip that i use to clip it to my backpack. So when we are biking we get attacked by a lot by sheep dogs. So we've ended up grabbing some rocks and putting them in our pocket so when we are biking we can throw them at the dogs. Well we've started keeping score between the missionaries vs the dogs. We get a point when we hit them with a rock or kick them and they get a point when they bite us. A really friendly game, I know. Well the score was at 2 - 0 missionaries then here came some more dogs. My companion kicks one in the face and I almost hit one with a rock. So the score becomes 3 - 0 missionaries. Well we get to our destination and I start bouncing up and down on my bike trying to be all cool and I had forgotten about my water bottle which then came up and hit me right in the eye, and it was full of water too. Haha. So the end score, for now, is Missionaries 3, water bottle 1, and dogs 0. Oh fun stuff. And then on the way back the sheep decided to run in front of our bikes so we almost ran into them! Crazy stuff.
Sunday was spent with members watching some Mormon messages that I had. It was awesome!
Well I gtg, Until next time! Hagoonee'!
