Robert vs. The New Companion

 

  Robert sent home a package of things to Mom and Dad last week:

 Navajo Missionary Name Tag

I might have to steal that cross stitch the next time I come for visit...

My companion is from Richmond,Utah. He is the oldest of 3 he is 6'4 250lbs.  Big boy.  He has served in Farmington and in Loop.  Which is the reservation for 7 and a half months.  We don't have much in common except he seems to know every single movie I have seen so whenever I say a movie quote he knows exactly what its from.

Things are going alright here.  Havent been knocking on very many doors because frankly....its the WORST way to get people to even talk to you.  So recently, the bishops of 3rd and 4th ward gave us an updated member list and we are going and seeing all the less actives in the ward.  Which will keep us busy.  I just hope I don't get lost out on these major backroads because I don't have a GPS anymore.  I think I know the area better then some of the people that live here! Definitely better then I know Boise, I never paid attention to anything back home. 

 

Just some fun experiences I've had this last week while we were out and about.  Elder Nielsen and I were just walking down the street and we started to smell an interesting smell......it was....sweet...slightly minty...ideas from anyone on what it is?  ya mary jane makin a visit.  We were about 300 feet from the house and it was reeking! Oh and of course that happened to be the house that we were supposed to go into by the way.  I walk up the little steps and they had the door open, I hear big WHOOF! right next to the door and I almost slipped from flinching. I peek my face around the corner of the door and again...another pitbull!  Luckily the owner came down the stairs and grabbed it before it could do anything.  Anyways ya fun adventures!  Haven't taught much this week!  Still trying to find some people that are interested in what we have to say.  I've been doing a lot of service lately.  Fixing up a huge chicken coup mostly and digging up big weeds with shovels.  I have blisters all over my hands now, and yes I do wear gloves.  I kinda like it though because it reminds me of hitting for 3 hours after school and just not caring if I get blisters.  Well time to go.  The Church is true!
