Ya'at'teh' everyone,
So first off there are a couple of things that I forgot to mention about last week that are kinda funny, and I don't know how I forgot about them but here they are. So the day after we got to our area we got up and went out on a run. When we came back we realized that we had locked ourselves out of our trailer... The Elders before us were supposed to leave a key to the trailer behind but there wasn't one, so we spent like half the morning trying to get back in. We went to the Post Office and borrowed their phone, and tried calling some people, but that didn't work. We walked to one of the member's houses, Brother Eby, who has a key to the trailer, but he wasn't home. What is also funny is that while we were out we got lost trying to find Brother Eby's trailer, so we walked to this group of people to ask where he lives. Well one of the people was this really rude lady, maybe she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I don't know, but she was threatening us and stuff while one of the other guys was being nice and giving us directions, so that was fun. But we eventually found his house, and he wasn't home, so we went back, and long story short we managed to get in.
Now this week. Not much happened on Monday and Tuesday, but Tuesday night we found out that our tire had been losing air for some time, and almost got completely flat. So we went and filled it up. The next morning we had to go to Gallup for Zone Conference, and we were supposed to take our truck in to get it fixed before Zone Conference, but that didn't happen because we were late to Zone Conference. But after Zone Conference we walked out to the truck and were going to take it in, but the tire was completely flat. Now the only people around are missionaries in their suits and what not. So nobody really wanted to change the tire. So I did it because I really didn't care if I got dirty or not, my suit pants needed cleaned anyway. So here are a couple pictures of changing the tire...
As you can see I am pretty dirty, haha, but I love it. It was also really hot too, and I have some burn marks on my arms from touching the pavement, haha. Whoopie!
Friday we went out to try and find someone, got lost (again), and ended up running into this guy named Paul. He is 18 and lives by himself, and is a pretty cool guy. Apparently we saved him from some drunks, because when we pulled up they left, haha.
Then Saturday we were out doing some service, and I was pulling weeds while a member was mowing, and out of the blue I got smoked by a rock! It came from the lawn mower, and that sucker hurt. Luckily it didn't break the skin but it did leave a nice mark.
Other than that I tried an interesting combination of food that wasn't half bad. Pork Chops with applesauce.
Love you all,
Elder Takis
