Four Corners Mission: Bashin' Bogeys at 10 Months

9/5/17 Email:

Ya'at'teh' Everyone,

So I have been out for 10 months now, and it is pretty crazy, cuz I don't know where all that time went.

Anyway, not a whole lot to tell from this past week, everything exciting that happened managed to happen yesterday. Which I also need to apologize for not emailing yesterday. Everywhere we email here was closed cuz it was Labor Day. But anyway to start off I am going to give a shout out to Steve Pond cuz he enjoys all my weird pictures that don't have a whole lot of meaning and here is another one for ya. I had to retire a pair of shoes cuz of some holes...

Another thing that was kinda exciting is that yesterday morning we took some time out of our P-Day to do some service and it was for the parents of a convert here. They are members of the Church of Christ, and they aren't too happy with their daughter for joining our church. Not only that but their daughter is going to serve a mission in Orem, UT. Anyway they said they could use some help painting their house. Well we had a good conversation to start off, but then the mother wanted to talk about religion and stuff. So we started talking and the conversation got to the temple, and not long after that she started asking me questions about the Bible and stuff like she wanted to Bible Bash. Well too bad for her, cuz really don't know much about the Bible so instead of a Bible Bash it was her pummeling me with the Bible, and I couldn't say anything cuz I didn't know. So I wish I would have payed a bit more attention in Seminary, haha.

Umm yesterday Elder McFarland, Elder Vickery and myself went golfing together, cuz our trainees didn't really want to go so we left them at the church to do whatever, so it was like a mini exchange. It was so much fun, and I was actually pleased with how well I did, given the fact that it has been over a year since I last went. We only got in 5 holes though cuz of time, but I was in the lead by 7 strokes!! Elder McFarland wants a rematch cuz he didn't get the full 9 holes and he was just getting warmed up... Here are some pics...
