Hey! I am in Elko now. Things seems to be going
good for the most part. Not a whole lot of updates though honestly. I am doing
really well, I met and remembered about 30 or so members yesterday so that was
good.
It was like a 5 or so hour drive from the west
side of Nevada to the east so I had a good conversation with several of the
missionaries that were headed out there with me so that was cool.
Thus far, I had to basically purge where we
live in the basement and clean because it was filthy and cluttered. I've had to
do other stuff too, but the details aren't important haha.
There has been a lot of rain and thunder the
last couple days. I In the several days I've been here though, we've met a ton
of people. we had several less actives at church that supposedly never come
even when they say they will but we had some really good lessons with them. And
then we also had a few investigators so that was great!
A member was telling us that when he was in
mexico (we were talking about Chanclas which are basically sandals, their
mothers normally throw those at them or hit them with those instead of spanking
them or using belts or whatever people use haha) He said one time his brother ticked his mom off so much and said he wasn't going to eat the rice and beans
(they were poor that's all they had) and so she got all angry and reached for
the chancla but she wasn't wearing any so she reached for the next closest thing
and it happened to be a knife and apparently she threw it and was like Oh my goodness! and
she passed out and all those other things. the kid is okay this happened like
10 years ago haha was just a funny/ weird story.
The ward mission leader out here is so awesome.
He is seriously what will help this ward to get on board with missionary work.
He and I were having a really good conversation about how we can't force people
to be saved etc etc.
Not a whole lot else. Have a great week! :) Happy Mothers day/cinco de mayo and all that other stuff! well.. those happened
last week, but I forgot to say it ;)
