Jenna meets the elusive Camel Cactus??

Hi family!!! How is everything going? I hope that everything is going well and that you are all enjoying your summer. So what have you all been up to? I hope that it's been fun!! So life here has been pretty good, we are teaching lots of people and things are going good. I am doing well and getting ready for transfers next week. I can’t believe that I have been here in El Paso for almost 7 months!!! It is just crazy how fast the time goes, and when I think that it is almost time for general conference again that makes my head spin. After this conference I will only have 1 more general conference till I come home!! Wow that is just crazy!!! Well enough of looking at the time ad lets get on to the stories of the week.

Story 1 The tale of the people that I know.

 So mom has commented on how I have not recently talked about the people that we are teaching. So let me tell you a little about them. Tara the young girls who read the Book of Mormon in a week is doing good. She is having trouble getting her families support however, and she just started school again so she is very busy. But the YW are working really hard to keep her involved and active so that is very good. Bobo (Who is not a clown by the way, but he is really funny and nice) has been doing really well he and his wife has been going to the Spanish ward that is closer to their house. The Elders in that ward say that he is doing just fantastic and that he has been coming to all of church for the past 3 weeks! So that is very good! Kevin has been extremely busy at work and so we have not been able to see him very much. But he is doing ok and still trying to prove the gospel wrong... He won’t believe us that he can’t do it. Oh yeah the man who gave us the yellow watermelon is doing well also. We always have good conversations about the bible, he does not like the Book of Mormon so we don’t use it much...Yet ;). Well when we were there in Saturday we told him about transfers next week. He asked if we knew who was going, we said no. He asked were we would go, we told him where ever in the mission God wants us to go. Then he asked if he could call the mission president and tell him to leave us here, because we haven't converted him yet. That made me smile :) He may be a grumpy old man who loves to argue but he seems to like the fact that I will talk with him ( Because I cant argue because it is not a very missionary thing to do... Most times;).  And that I will stand my ground and don't get scared or intimidated by all of his silly questions. Then on Sunday at church his wife said that before either of us leave we have to go and see him. I guess that he likes us :)

Story 2 The tale of Blushing Mr. Moony

  So the other night we were driving home and the moon just started to rise. And it was red!! It looked so cool, and creepy all at the same time. And that reminded me that it is a sign of the second coming! That's just crazy to think that it is closer than we think it is. So I guess that we all better get ready and hasten the work of salvation. For more information please contact the missionaries nearest to your area. Calls can only, will only be received till 10:30 at night because that when the missionaries should be in bed.

Story 3 The tale of an unfortunate event  So last Monday sister Brown got word that her grandpa was sick. And then on Friday the president called and told her that he had past away. It was very sad and very hard for her to hear. It made me think of when Grandpa Chatwin passed away, and again reminded me of how grateful I am for the plan of salvation. And I am so grateful that my family has been sealed for time and all eternity.

Story 4 And the tale of random stories!!

Ok so I take lots of random pictures with my camera, and here are the top 3

1.    his is a legitimate since in Chaparral. It is supposed to say watch FOR children but someone apparently forgot a word. P.S My poor grammar skills have nothing to do with this!

2.    2. So here in El Paso every one owns an Ice cream truck. They all go around the neighborhoods and give ice cream. But there are a few of these trucks that are evil! They play really out of tone children songs, and this is the creepiest one I have seen yet. It is an old school bus that the kids go INSIDE of to get their ice cream.

And here we have the elusive Camel Cactus. I have been trying to photograph him for several months but he has been to quick. But the other day as we were traveling home from the outback of Chaparral we spotted him!! And so we quickly photographed him and we now have proof that the Camel Cactus exists!!! This will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest finds in human history!! 

Ha well those are my adventures this week. Hope you all have fun and I can’t wait to hear from you soon!!

Love Sister Chatwin

P.S You scream, I scream, we all Scream!! Then the cops come over and it awkward so lets just eat our ice cream from the   creepy ice cream truck.
