Hello Everyone,

 

So this week really blew by fast!  We did a back to back exchange this week and when you do those for some reason time flys by!  So on Wednesday we went on exchanges with the Indian Well's Elders!  I was able to stay in Winslow with Elder Poole, and Elder Carpenter went to Indian Wells with Elder Phillips!  They are both two great elders!  We learned a lot from them!  One thing I was able to learn from Elder Poole is his teaching he is a great teacher he really knows how to slow things down so that the investigator can really understand!  Then on Thursday we came back to winslow after district meeting and we exchanged with the Dilkon Elders!  I was able to go back to the Rez  :)  and spend a night in Dilkon with my good old buddy Elder Kay while Elder Carpenter was in winslow with Elder McCarrey!  I had a great time with Elder Kay!  Its amazing to think that just 2 short years ago I really didn't like Elder Kay too much I mean since he did play for marsh valley in basketball haha jk!  But no, it was fun to sit back and talk about basketball and talk about marsh valley and snake river!  Honestly Elder Kay is a great missionary!  He works super hard!  One thing I noticed from him is he is truly out here for the right reasons!  It was fun being out in Dilkon with him!  We did a lot of tracting that day!  Dilkon is very spread out so its not so much trying so find houses but pretty much just trying to find people period!  haha  There was this one road we took that looked like it hadn't been drove on for 2 years haha but I think the spirit prompted us to take it!  haha but we did end up finding a house way back in and were able to knock on it!  There is a saying that goes with our mission!  It's "Most missions try to find people to teach!  Our mission just tries to find people!" haha and that is so true I think back to my time in Lukachukai I knew everyone in that town, knocked on every single door there were days we were just trying to find people!  Anyway things are great out here!  I feel like I am learning and growing so much! Thanks for all you do!
