April 30, 2018

Hey mom ! It's good to hear you had a good week.  My week went pretty good as well !
 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 !
