We started out Monday just hanging around and went to the Indian rez and played
volleyball and that's always a lot of fun and then Tuesday we went to Fernly for meetings
then came back and went to the rez and helped out at the food pantry and then afterwords
we went to our investigators house for the rest of the day. He was the best investigator
I've had my entire mission and he and his wife moved to Yellowstone but he said he wants
to take me and the family to dinner in Jackson this summer so I'll look forward to that.
We helped him pack up his truck and storage unit and then he fed us dinner and after
that we started a camp fire at his place and sat around and talked for a while. It was tough
to see him go ! We've had a lot of spiritual experiences with him and he wants to join the
church there's just a few things that he questions but he will join later down the road I know
he will. Wednesday was fun, we went to Carson city for zone conference and that took all
day from 8 to 4:30 then we went to Dickeys BBQ and got that to go and we traveled down
through Gardnerville and that's a real pretty area ! I really wanted to serve there but never
did and then we went to a cool lake that's on the border of California and its called Topaz
Lake and we ate our dinner there and it was fun. Thursday we went and taught a few lessons
and so on. Friday we went to Smith Valley and helped some members move their heavy
furniture around their house. They are getting ready to sell there place and there moving to
Idaho Falls so they can be close to a temple ! He joined the church 5 years ago and loves
going to the temple. Saturday we ended up just biking around and talking to people all
day. Sunday we went to church and then biked around and had dinner then my companion
ran into a mail box and busted his knuckle pretty good. That was
my week ! The most challenging situation is just trying to find more people to teach and
stay busy. The best experience was zone conference because we were in Carson then went
to the lake. I learned that this mission has taught me a lot of humility and surrender.
Thanks for all you do and have a great week ! love you mom !
