Hello everybody!!! How are y'all
doing and what are y'all up to? The pictures that mom sent of camping looked
really fun, and I hope that the s’mores that you were supposed to give all of
the children were good! Well another week down and it is just crazy to think
that I have been gone for 6 months and that in 12 1/2 months I will come home!!
P.S I have to stay the extra 1/2 month so that it works with transfers. But any
way in 3 more months I will be half way done!! Wow the time has just flown by,
and they tell me that it will only get faster. So this past week was slow again
because everybody is taking that last minute vacation before school. But there
were a few exciting things that happened this week so on to the stories of the
week!!
Story 1 So since I missed camping
for the first time in about 15-20 years I was pretty bummed. So I decided that
if I could not go camping that I would bring camping here!!! And what is the
best way to pretend that you are camping? Well its is make s’mores of course!!!
So… last Monday when we were at the store I spent some of my money on graham
crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Not only was this in memory of camping,
but it gave me a good excuses to spend my money. After we had acquired all of
the necessity for the pretend camp out we went to do laundry at the Cadds.
They were so good and all would
have been golden boy approved.
Story 2 On Wednesday we had this
awesome thunder storm! As we were talking to an investigator out side of our
apartment I got some pictures and mad a few videos. The videos wont send but
here are the best pictures. We never got any rain, but our Zone leaders who
live on the other side of the mountain (they all call it a mountain but
compared to the mountains back home they are really just little hills) said
that it was pouring! They drive a truck and the water was up to their
headlights at their apartment! They said that a wall or something gave way
because of the water and that there whole complex was flooded!! But yeah we did
not get any rain at all so that was kind of disappointing, because I love it
when it rains because the smell of dust after rain is fantastic!
Story number 3 The tale of the
mutant Sandia!! (P.S. all of my stories will now have titles, I have just
decided this)
So there is this investigator
who lives out in Chaparral and he is very nice but likes to bible bash. We only
keep going back because his wife and granddaughter ask us to. He will ask us
questions and will only accept answers from the bible, as you can imagine it is
not very easy. But like I said he is very nice and likes it when we come over,
manly because I will talk gospel with him. He also loves Elvis Presley and he
is a farmer, this is were the mutant Sandia come in to play. On Saturday after
a long discussion on judgment day, he asks if we would like to take home some
yellow and red Sandias. So I said that we would love to, even though I was not
sure what a Sandia was and because I wanted to be nice. So we go to this room
and he gives us this fruit, so we take it home and decide that we want to eat
some of the Sandia. And we cut in to the red one and it was the best Sandia
that I have ever eaten! Oh and Sandia means watermelon in Spanish just so you
know ;). I mean its like you died and went to heaven and they gave you a
watermelon. It was so juice and tasted amazing! So we slice up that one and put
it in the fridge. Then we went to the yellow one, and sliced it open and this
is what we found!!! It is really YELLOW!!!! Not just red with a little
bit of yellow, but it is all Yellow!!! So I tried it, and it was pretty good!!
It tastes like watermelon but with a twist. Yeah it was very good!!!
