Question Time it is:
1. Anything fun for Labor Day? Not really unfortunately, most of the places I thought of going to are closed unfortunately. But its alright, the people out here in California need a break from all their "busyness" if we can call it that. Just getting the shopping done, washing the car, cleaning the place, and what not.
2. How was the week? This week had a couple twists and turns. I'll explain a bit more detail in a bit, but to simplify it. We had a truck, then we became bike missionaries, thighs feels like rocks, and knocking lots of doors.

Something kind of funny happened just this past week. We were teaching Chase about recognizing the Spirit through Prayer and Scripture Study and during the lesson, an earthquake happened. We were sitting on his porch, talking with him, and the ground just started moving and it was pretty loud... We learned later it was a 4.4 magnitude and it didnt last long, but it was pretty amazing. Little frightening, but amazing.

Our vechile coordinator wanted to get our truck fixed up since it had been roughed up by previous missionaries, so for the time being we have been on bike. Which its been awhile, and oh my goodness I am out of shape. We should be getting our truck back hopefully tomorrow. You really appreciate things when they are gone for a little bit. 

Glad to hear everyone is having fun out there! Looks like the kiddos are enjoying it! Yup, transfers are coming up this next Monday and we'll be getting the new Office Elder tomorrow. Its going to be hectic, but I think I'll be going back yo the desert, its been a little while, time to make some more sand angels. But I believe I should email you and everyone on Monday, we'll see what happens I guess.

There really wasnt much that happened this week. And emailing is kind of being a chore today more than usual. Sorry fpe the lack of material in here... I'm thinking of writing drafts throughout the days tbat way I have more information about what happened. 

Either way, always glad to hear back from you Momma! Make sure to remind Bryson that I still exist out here. LOVE YOU MOMMA!!

Thanksgiving Week!

Hey Mom and Dad! This last week went by pretty slow for me (I think because it was week six of transfers so it felt weird). That's funny that all the kiddos want to sleep in, no more its time to get up and get work boys and girls! You guys already set up the Christmas tree? Nice! Sounds like you guys will be having a blast with the cousins up in Pinetop, make sure to send me some pictures! That's pretty funny that you got called to be the Sunday School President, I'm sure on of those kids is gonna need your help and love while you are fulfilling your calling. Teaching is going pretty interestingly, its the holidays so not many people are home or are with family outside the area but some more people are home so its odd but fun! I'll be spending Thanksgiving with a lesser active family called the Whites and they invited us for dinner so I'm happy for that! The Ward is absolutely amazing, the people are so nice to the missionaries and we practically have a dinner every...

Did You Think to Pray? I actually took pictures this week. And for some odd reason this computer is denying me the right to access those photos... Hold back the pitchforks for now, I'll fix the problem sometime soon. But besides from that one. The title comes from a praying mantis I saw while knocking on doors. I went to go ring a doorbell and there is this giant praying mantis guarding the bell. I ended up not wanting to fight the thing and knocked on the door. Something our mission does every transfer (which is a six week period of time kept by missionaries), we have this thing called a zone conference. And all the missionaries here in the desert got together. Which is always a fun experience being out for little over 13 months now seeing people I've grown to meet and love during my time here and catching up with them. But the whole reason we got together was to learn and grow in our service out here. And something that stuck out to me was learning to set goals, but mo...

Hello Mom and Dad!

Thanksgiving was really awesome, we had dinner with a family where they have 5 boys and we got to spend our one dinner with them for that night. Got to eat deviled eggs, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, crackers and cheese with ham, chili, some barbecue hotdogs, and lots of other food which was amazing! Everything else over here is going very well though! Although Elder Olson got sick for a day and we had to drive to an Urgent Care outside our zone so that was fun. Elder Olson is pretty much the same height as me and everything, why do you ask? I don't think its cold enough to get any extra layers of clothes or anything but thanks! That's awesome that everyone of the kids is doing well and doing the things they love! Funny how as soon as I leave you start having missionaries over for dinner, maybe we'll have to invite some more when I get back from my mission or something. Um I don't know anything about plans for Christmas yet but I'll email you when I find out the det...
