For those who had never heard of Elko, Nevada where I am
serving right now...
you probably heard about it this past week as a medical evac
plane crash landed.
I'm still alive by the way. Interesting fact for you though
is that I was about 150 yards away from where that happened when it did happen.
I was in the trailer park right by that and there was a super loud noise and
the whole trailer started shaking and we were like WHAT THE HECK?! and the
mexican guys we were teaching didn't say anything and we were like WHAT WAS
THAT?!?! and they said we don't know and played it off like it was nothing. then
like 2 minutes later this guy comes into the trailer and held up a
piece of metal and was like "a trailer exploded!" and I was thinking
hmmmm that seemed bigger than a trailer exploding. and them we started to hear
lots of small explosions also. So then we go outside. 5 minutes later emergency vehicles arrive and there was just flames everywhere it was
crazy. Some people we know that lived right there were actually the first
people on scene. The video of the real close up fire that was all over national
news and the kid swearing, Luis, (there was beeping to censor it haha),
they were the first ones there and trying to see if anyone was hurt they could
help.
We had zone conference so I was able to see elder Bido, one
of my old companions again! that was cool.
Its been sad to see other missionaries that are going home
soon lose their focus on the work and lose all care of what they are doing now
and just think about home and whatnot. I'm doing good still. MY companion and
basically everyone we see remind me i'm going home soon but i'm still going
strong.
