Robert vs The Rain

Maik!!! 

Pretty slow week but we have had a lot of good news happen.  We will be having a baptism in October sometime just dont know when.  Our investigator has to get an interview with President Batt and then he is good to go.  It has rained a TON here this week.  Rain and the desert dont mix....cause when it rains...it destroys things.  Like roads to get to houses and our camper.  I thought at one point we were gonna get blown over in the night, we were tilting like 30 degrees and I almost fell out of my bed.  About 60 mph winds shovin this little camper.  At one point while I was driving I had to pull over and wait because I was getting pushed around and I couldnt see a thing in front of me.  Fun times!!  Knocked ona bunch of doors and handed out some BOMS.  Thats about what all we did this week.  Not to many lessons but whatever I am happy with the work we did.  

We were able to give a blessing yesterday to a nonmember relative of our recent convert family.  it was received well and we have to be very touchy with these situations because older navajos are VERRY stuck in the tradition so they think we are bringing evil on their household.  But that wasnt the case this time luckily.  I think we will be able to teach them soon.  I wish y'all could see and feel what its to be looked at as some type of Holy person to a bunch of superstitious native americans.  They have faith in the power thats for sure.  Probably a lot more then I do so its a humbling experience every time.  

Had a little scare with my trainee one night driving back home. Hopefully he hangs in there after I leave.  Thats really all I wanna say because I dont wanna scare mom.  I am just tired of weird evil spirit crap.  It doesnt even scare me anymore its just annoying.  Like I dont know if every mission has to deal with stuff like that but this mission is literally a playground for "things that go bump in the night."  Hahha Now Im just leaving a huge cliffhanger on that one.  Let your imagination go from there:)   Story time when I get home!  I heard BSU got wooped and I am not surprised to be honest but I am ok and still breathing.  The branch presidency here loves football so they give us all the updates every week.  I am almost done with the Book of Mormon and again and it is so funny how many details you miss very time you read it....I go through it so thoroughly and like every page I turn Im like...I swear that wasnt there before, that had to have been magically added in.  The scriptures are awesome.   GO BRONCOS
