Hump Week

Hey fam! This week was cool, but not temperature wise hahahaha.... its freakin hot. CRayyyy I hit a year on friday! Dont worry Ill be back to party soon enough.

Monday we just lazied around and cleaned the house a bunch.

Tuesday was pretty cray, we went into district meeting with perfectly blue skies. and two hours later walked outside to orange skies. pic attached. BLue Cut fire or watever in the end burned 37000 acres so far and 82000 people have been evacuated.  Missionaries who were supposed to be up in the desert were stuck down the hill all week because of the fire. Some missionaries were evacuated as well. Pretty rad. we biked around a bit but nobody was home.

Okay side tangent. In all of my areas thus far I have covered two wardsa at once, so we never really had spare time. Now we are on bike, and we only cover half of a ward. It is a way different atmosphere of missionary work, everything is done differently. Especially planning. Also the metric butt-tonne of smoke in the air probs filled my lungs with ash it was a struggle.

Im giving up on the day-by-day email for today fam, bear with me.
Our ward is pretty awesome. We calculated the average age of our ward. 61. We have an investigator that is the epitome of desert folk. and now a quote from our lesson with Jeremy, Parental Discretion is Advised "How am I not gonna get stoned on Christmas...@$*%! I always get flamed on Christmas."  Haha hes golden. Its a lot of fun teachin these weird white people. 
Hehe 

okay so our ward-mates dont live with us but we eat dinner with them at members homes. And they look super young, like, 14 years old baby face. So we would talk about it with our house-mates all the time and eventually they got called out twice at church, it was funny. Once in gospel doctrine it was said, "I thought you had to be 18 to come out on a mission." then the Bishops wife at dinner that evening, "Okay serve the kids first, which include you two elders because you look 14." haha get WRECKED.  I lost my mind it was hilarious. I dont know how anyone could take them seriously. Ill nab a pic of them at some point.

Well, thats all folks! See you on the flipped flop!
