Week 94

People are always telling us to watch out for the dogs around here. Well... we missed one this week.
MONDAY was pretty cool because my grandparents were passing through Las Cruces, and I got to see them for a little bit! They took us out to dinner, and when they left, they were able to take some of my stuff I needed to send home. It was really nice to see them, but it was also a bit strange because I'll see them in 2 months back home.
TUESDAY we had a really bad dust storm. It was so bad that they shut the highway down, and the TorC elders couldn't go to their area. So instead, they just blitzed our area with us. It was fun, and I got to hang out with Elder Owens for a bit while we waited for the dust to stop.
WEDNESDAY we spent a lot of time with the Spanish elders learning Spanish. Lots of fun, not much to write about though.
THURSDAY we went to the soup kitchen in the morning to do some service. I just got stuck washing dishes for 2 hours. It was pretty fun.
FRIDAY my comp got mauled by a dog (I'll add pictures), and we spent 3 hours in an urgent care getting him taken care of.
SATURDAY Elder Riggle's leg was pretty messed up, so we just sat at the apartment all day. I just spent the time cleaning all the dishes and organizing the apartment.
SUNDAY we had a follow-up at the urgent care in the morning and got him some crutches. Other than that, we had church and sat around a bunch.
D&C 67:13 says, "13 Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now, neither the ministering of angels; wherefore, continue in patience until ye are perfected."

Week 43

This email won't be too long because the only thing that really happened this week was that both Elder Shawcroft and I got a stomach bug which knocked us out for the week. It was a rough couple of days, but we're back in shape and are excited to return to the work. MONDAY we had our last p-day of the transfer down in Santa Fe. We played a bunch of dodgeball with the whole zone for a bit and then a handful of us started playing the one board game called 7 Wonders with one of the senior missionaries. The rest of the day was pretty normal, except at the very end when Elder Shawcroft started having symptoms from the stomach bug. TUESDAY we just stayed inside and let Elder Shawcroft work on recovering. WEDNESDAY we managed to have a phone lesson with one of our friends we had been teaching for a bit, Anna. It went really well and they are loving the gospel so much. Then that night I ended up getting hit with the stomach bug which was really rough. We also found out that both of us a...

This was a really good week, but a lot of it is kind of blurred together. There's a day where I'm thinking that we talked to a certain person just yesterday, but it was really three days ago. At least that means the days are going quickly. MONDAY was a fun and sad day. At zone p-day, we had a lot of fun playing basketball, board games, and just hanging out, but we also said goodbye to a sister who was going home early. It's sad to see missionaries go home early in every case, but I know that the Lord has a plan for each and every one of us. At dinner that night, we got to hold some snakes that this member family had. It was pretty cool to be able to hold them and feel them, but Elder Stanger was not as excited as I was. For the last bit of the day, we were able to have a lesson with the bishop of one of our wards and a less active family that we had been meeting with, and you could just feel the bishop's love for them. It's always amazing just how much the gospel un...

Don't worry, I didn't miss a week; we just had our p-day moved to Christmas Eve! This email will be slightly longer, but next week's will be a bit shorter. MONDAY we made cookies with our district before everyone got together for p-day. We didn't have a mixer, so they just made me use my hand to mix the dough. TUESDAY we had a couple of really good lessons with some of the people we met. I also had a meeting with all the other social media trainers in the mission to help get them prepared for the new transfer. WEDNESDAY nothing went as we planned. We had everything set up a certain way that morning during daily planning, and by the end of the day, our schedule was completely different! THURSDAY I took a bit of time getting some presents and letters ready for my last and current mission presidents. FRIDAY we woke up with no hot water in the apartment, which really sucked when we had to get showered! This last transfer had mixed up the zone a bunch, so I had a good time g...
