This week was crazy! We saw and did a lot and we had some good lessons and some great cancellations... haha, any way just another awesome week as a missionary! We went on exchanges that was a nice break!!
This week we also got to watch two bulls fight! It was pretty neat to watch.
The one got its butt kicked, the bigger of the two shoved the other in to a fence so he gave up, I guess he didn't like the barb wire poking him.
Monday we played basketball at the local high school and I landed on a kids foot and rolled my ankle pretty good, that's been a great thing to have always bugging me, oh well just keep on keepin' on, eh?
The Kamiah 2nd Ward in which I serve in is very very boonie. For example the biggest town in our area is has 226 people called Stites, Idaho. Then we cover Harpster, ID and Clearwater, ID both of which are very tiny. One can imagine it is very hard to talk to people simply due to the lack of people! Here is the kicker, the place where most people go is the dumpster! The county does not do personal garbage cans so people have to take there garbage to one of three locations (in our area, the county has like ton) That's where people are so that's where we go! It's weird to sit and talk to people/or wait for people to come but its the best way to contact people in this area so we do it!
We got a flat tire this week so we put the spare on and went to a few more appointments
and then went home. We woke up that morning did studies and then went outside to to get our tire fixed and then, as luck would have it, our back tire was flat as well! We were up a creek with out a paddle! We called a tow and the guy picks us up then we started talking to him, we learned a bunch from him and then gave him a book of Mormon . He also told us a ton about our area so that was good!! Then another tire experience!! We were on exchanges and as we were driving we stopped and helped a guy change his tire! We learned he was from Wisconsin and we gave him a Book of Mormon and got him in contact with some other missionaries! Flat tires can be a blessing!!
All in all we had a really good week, stayed busy and had a lot of lessons. The work in this area is picking up and moving along which makes time fly even faster which I dislike and like at the same time but it sucks when yesterday feels like today and tomorrow feels like so far away but then I hear the alarm go off and its the next day suddenly! Mission time is freakishly fast.
I hope all you kids have a good week and take care of yourselves now, ya hear me? And don't go doing anything silly (please say that in a Minnesotan accent)
Love,
