So this past week we had a great one! We woke up one morning to about 3 to 4 inches of snow which doesn't seem like much compared to back home but down here it was a lot! So that day we had a lot of fun in it! The Tohatchi Elders said that they needed a lot of help that day with service so we went down there I guess we were supposed to insulate this guys house! But it ended up falling through and we ended up chopping wood that day! We got a little bored and being the young men we still are, broke out into a snowball fight haha it was fun then it led to us a building a big huge giant snow man! It was a fun day! Just before the snow hit we had the opportunity to help someone take down their shade house! A shade house is a shed looking thing, that they build to have somewhere to keep cool in the summer time! They always cook and eat inside the shade houses! Anyway in the middle of taking the old shade house apart and getting ready to rebuild it back up I was hammering a log out and all up the sudden one of the big beams snapped and the entire shade house was falling right towards me I had to do a tuck and roll to get out of the way but I made it out safely lets just say I am running low on the number of lives I still have on my mission haha It was a fun project and I loved doing that! I really enjoy stuff like that being able to use a nail and a hammer and build stuff! Anyway later in the week me and Elder Sparks got a call from a lady in the branch and she needed help, helping her dog deliver puppies, so of course she calls the missionaries haha so we went over to help man that was nasty it was a little dog that had bread with a bigger dog so there was only one puppy and man that thing was hard to get outta there! haha The things we do on our missions! That was nasty though! Anyway later in the week me and Elder Sparks had the chance to do some tracting so we went out and we did a lot of walking down this long dirt road knocking on a lot of doors we finally knocked on this one door and met a lady named Sophia we got talking with her and come to find out she told us that her mom had had a heart attack and had passed away 3 days earlier it was crazy to hear that! We shared a scripture in the Book of Mormon and assured her that her mom was taken care of and in a good place! We left her with the Book of Mormon and a chapter to read! It is amazing to see how the Lord prepares people for us each day and how if we listen to the promptings close enough we will find them! All in all it was a great week!
