     I know I gotta write you but I hate sitting down and typing out a huge email......

Monday I was just sick. nothing fun happened at all. I got feeling a bit better after taking a nap on the floor cause I didn't have the energy to climb up into my bed..... hahaha what a life. 

Tuesday we just chilled around trying our best to find some people to teach... not super crazy fun but we found a couple people so that was good. 

Wednesday we had exchanges so that was a blast. I sent a pic of the shoe print I left over the elders door because they left the key inside on accident and I had to climb up there like a freakin pro and save the day. I only thought I was gonna fall like 1 time so it was cool. then this super nice lady gave us a ton of bananas after we taught her. like legit 5 pounds of fruit. that was just great. elder tunumiapea (80% sure that is not how to spell his name) was just super fun to work with. 

Thursday we had a little zone meeting where president came down and taught us about baptism and then we did weekly planning. I had my interview with president and that was super fun and then we had a thanksgiving feast. If I can't get a pic just ask elder Wilkins mom to send it I know he has one.

Friday we just worked a normal fun day. lots of finding. but we did find a birthday party so that was pretty great. free food ;)

Saturday we had a branch activity to help our investigators progress but guess what none of them even came so that was super awkward. the other elders had some people though so we still had a good time watching the John Tanner video. 

Sunday was great. I love going to church. The only sad part is none of the people we are teaching love coming to church yet so that was lame.  

mom I honestly am not sure what pickleball is.....

Kate I love ya tons. I hope you are killing it in the dating world.... date lots of boys please.

ken I think you are super cool and look a little weird with no braces..... also I love you

I love you all so much have a great week!!!

      I only emailed him once on his mission but maybe he could be better than I was. I'll be sad to have Kline go home besides family he is the only person that has never missed a week in emailing me a personal email.

Monday was so long ago and I don't really remember anything crazy happening so I guess yeah... 

Tuesday was also forever ago.. to be honest this week just flew by. Our mission is doing a white Christmas thing so we have been trying like crazy to find people to baptize in December so that is what we have been doing all week. 

Wednesday we worked with some members and had a super great day. we were able to teach 9 lessons in just the afternoon and one of them we extended to Henry!! He said yes and was super excited. that was the hightlight of the day for sure.

Thursday we taught this really awesome guy named tatay jesus. He has been super willing to keep every commitment that we give to him. The only thing he is lacking is that he hasn't come to church because he has really bad arthritis in his knees. But it is slowly getting better and we pray that he will be able to come this Sunday. 

Friday we had a pretty normal day. We were supposed to work with some members again but they had to cancel last minute which was too bad. We also went back to Henry and he said his dad said he can't get baptized. That was a super sad moment but we shared with him about faith and how if we do all we can God will help us. He is super willing to do what he can so hopefully we can work something out. 

Saturday was a blast we walked very very far so my feet were pretty tired by the end of the day but it was a good time. We were able to talk with a lot of people which is always the goal.

Sunday the only thing that was super cool that happened was I got blessed by a monkey (Culture note being blessed means they put your hand on their forehead.) so that was super awesome. 

Spiritual note:I was pondering about how God knows our full potential even though we don't and I think that is why we go through some really hard things sometimes. That is the only way God can help us to understand all that we are capable of. 

I love you all so much have a great week!! 

Nobody told me you were going to Moab. whats up with that?

Monday was pretty solid. nothing super eventful happened.

Tuesday we just worked. it was fun I can't think of anything really other than that that happened. 

Wednesday we had a full day of work. Halloween is only a thing here in the malls so nothing really changed with us. We did make sure to eat a bit of candy though so that was good. 

Thursday was a little bit tougher to teach people. Pretty much everybody was just getting ready to go to the cemetery and party. so the later it got the less people were home for us to teach. 

Friday was a blast. We had district council which was fun and then it was just a normal day of work.

Saturday We actually did other things than the regular day. We had a service project in the morning where I helped dig a deep hole so they could make a foundation for a house. Then for lunch we were invited to the church because there was a district family history thing. Lots of food and pictures of old people. that was neat. A lady fed me the smallest fish in the world. actually a ton of them. legit super tiny. I probably wouldn't of even known they were fish if they hadn't tasted so strongly of fish. then later that night we baptized Joseph. That was so much fun I was so happy for him. He really made some big changes in his life to get to where he is now. 

Sunday we worked all morning trying to get people to come to church and we managed to get one. yay!! other than that it was just a normal work day. 

I love you all tons have a great week!!

Hello family!! this week was pretty solid for me lots of fun and stuff. Just kidding it was pretty average for us with a couple exceptions.

Monday we had a good old time doing regular stuff. which is code for getting massages from the massage chair. I love that thing.

Tuesday was super awesome. We had mission tour and elder Schmutz came and taught us. He is super cool and talked a lot about fore ordination and a bunch of stuff that I didn't really understand before but I do now. President Zapanta challenged us to read the whole Book of Mormon by the end of the year with all the women so that is fun. We are marking every reference to Jesus Christ and holy cow there are a ton! The mission tour took like the entire day. I thought I was going to die for a bit on the ride home because I was so uncomfortable I couldn't feel the bottom half of my body but I managed. 

Wednesday we had exchanges! that was super fun. I got to work with elder T again ( i am not typing out his whole name again) We worked in his area so that was a nice time checkin out a new place. He was a little sick and had to go to the bathroom a lot. twice he had to do something somewhere just in the mountains but he made me promise not to tell so I can't tell you what he did out in the woods but I can let you guess. hahhaha

Thursday was weekly planning for the new transfer! woohoo that was just a party. I just can't remember doing anything else.. 

Friday we had normal work. It was a great time.

Saturday we had a CSP in the morning which was a blast. I helped make a nice little flower bed that would make mom proud. Then we went to a baptism. that was cool I got to be the speaker since the real one didn't show up... 

Sunday was just a good old sunday. church and work. I love it. 

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!
