Poky Week 6

Hello everyone. I enjoy reading your emails. I laughed hard when i heard tyler started off with a joke in his talk and no one laughed. I have spoken every week, sometimes twice a day, but im used to it and i get the peeps laughing pretty good. I joke about my allergies and how i sound nasaly. But that was funny. Poor lilly and her health. That would be tough. Sounds like home is paradise. Cabin is coming along, golfing a ton, and winning trips to Hawaii. Dang. Well I still cant say i have been happier than i am now i am loving it out here working hard and trying to work thhrough the grind. I am doing well besides my allergies. Hope all continues to be well.

 

Real quick, this morning we studied with the ZL's. We learned why people are black, and what our purpose is as missionaries. Also, that all the people of Manassa and Ephraim are called to be missionaries on the earth at this specific time. Also, we are looking for those people who are ready for the celestial kingdom. That is the work we are doing right now as missionaries and member missionaries. CELESTIAL work. The terrestial and telestial work has not even begun. Also we learned about how black people rejected the preisthood in the pre mortal life but now they accepted it so they are in the earth now. But it was a curse because they rejected it previous. so that was cool. Anyways this is probably boring as junk to yall but its like the coolest thing ever for me right now.

 

NOw for the week summary:

 

 

Monday- P-day: I didnt see dad in IF, oh well. But not much happened it was just a relaxed day and we played settlers and ate food.

 

Tuesday: We walked a ton today because we are running low on miles. Contacted a few people then we went over to Ricardo's house for a lesson. We taught about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He liked it then he had questions about chastity  and the word of wisdom so we taught those lessons too. He is doing well and hes a cool kid.

 

Wednesday: Zone training again. It was good. My allergies were off the charts bad that day. Red eyes watering and just pressure in my nose stuffed completely. But it was good we talked about suffering and how if we were not suffering we are doing something wrong. I sort of disagreed and said i have been happier than i ever have in my life and how it may be tough and tiring especially with allergies but overall we shouldnt be "suffering"....idk it was interesting. Our DL is weird. But i love him and he is great and it was a strong meeting for our zone.

 

Thursday: During our visit with Ricardo, he invited us over for dinner for lasagna and cheescake. It was the most full i have been in a while. I almost threw up. it was so good though. Homemade cheescake. Then we....taught about tithing and left. We are planning on watching the joseph smith movie with hime soon. That night we went to the Maria family out in the stix. They had their cousins over. There was a girl there who obviously liked me and was trying to hit on me bad. She said i look like tom cruise??? and everyone joined and agreed and started laughing lol. But ill take it! But we taught a lesson to about 10 kids and 4 parents. We were all about same age. In english. We talked a lot about the restoration. After we just hungout with them and talked about cars. I will probably come back and visit Ozzy Maria hes cool and he wants to see my car when i get it. Their whole family likes cars so we connect very well. That was a good visit.

 

Friday: We did hardly anything this day. We had a meeting in idaho falls for trainers. Then we went home and tracted.

 

Saturday: It rained a bunch. We drove around in puddles a lot. BIG puddles. It was fun. A little crazy and not entirely productive but fun. Flash flood. Then Finau is like "I know where this huge puddle is" so we drove like 10 minutes to this muddy road it then turned into a narrow road.....with a RIVER ON BOTH SIDES. There was about an inch of room on both sides before it started going down into the river. SCARY. I thought we were dead cause you have to keep speed so we dont get stuck but when you go fast in mud you lose control easy. Needless to say, may impressive driving skills and the spirit of the lord prevailed.

 

Sunday: Sunday was good. Ward council, speaking in church, (english) , and the day was slow. We didnt have food or anything so we drove to the ZL's and raided their fridge. That night we visited my boi carlos, with the red truck and sound system haha. We visited the Maria family again and got the oldest son 25 yrs old to come to church. All the kids like me cause i talk cars with them so they listen. I told the oldest brother he can be an example to his whole family and he agreed. So i hope he comes to church with everyone they are good people.

 

So that was about everything. Today were going to IF for mongolian grill. thats about it and were gonna play risk.

This is for tyler: Look up the song "Dutty Love" by Don Omar. Its cool. I heard it in carlos' truck.

 

 

Love you all i pray for you tons. Hope lilly is going to be ok now and in the future. Thats so sad :( Heather and Kevin are great so i feel like she will be ok. I miss my neices and nephew and my family but i will be back one day! For now, take it easy and enjoy life! Love,
