Week 58

Hellllooo.

THis week was kinda long.

Monday was chill though, we went to Dan's house. He is a recent

convert in the Santa Fe ward that pretty much everyone in the desert

knows about because he is a freakin baller. We played horseshoes and

darts, shot some things. It was fun.

Tuesday we biked around the area a bit, trying to find people out and

about. suprise, there wasnt. Our area is pretty dead and it can bear

down pretty hard sometimes. I cant remember if I got a flat on tuesday

or wednesday, but I got one. I just traded tires for the week with a

spare bike in the garage. THere are these crazy devilish little thorns

called goat heads that are freakin e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e aand they stick

in your tire. if you leave them in they plug thier own hole but you

end up with 5-15 of these suckers in your tire.

Wednesday we saw Jeremy. He was doing pretty good. COnsidering all the

problems he has the lesson went really well. We got a solid baptismal

date with him and are going to help him stop smoking... among other

things

Thursday we had to bike to squash for friends because our ride had an

appt. after we got home both of Elder Cookes tires were flat and we

didnt have enough spares to change them out so we walked the rest of

the week. We saw the woman and her kids who came to church on sunday.

We took bro Casino with us, he is super cool, super spiritual guy. THe

lesson went pretty well and bro Casino invited her to watch General

Conference with his family.

Friday... nothing really happened

This weekend was obviously GenConf. It was interesting how most of the

lessons were back to the basics. Missionary work and repentance seemed

like a common theme. I personally have a hard time focusing unless

there are a lot of stories or they are really in-your-face throw down.

I liked Hollands talk in the Priesthood session about how much we suck

at hometeaching haha. Got me kinda pumped to do it back at home.

Have  a good week!
