Ya'at'teh' Everyone,
So this week was pretty fantastic! Unfortunately I did not get any pictures though, so my apologies. But anyway first off last P-Day we went to Gallup but the gym at the Stake Center was closed so we couldn't play basketball so we went to some softball/football/soccer fields for our activities. Well Elder Hardman and I played catch for about 45 minutes, and MAN THAT FELT GOOD!! I was so happy after that. We also were pitching the blitz ball to each other, and I hit this bomb off of him that would have been like a 200-foot home run if it had stayed fair, and if we were using a real baseball. With a real bat that thing probably would've went upwards of 450+ feet. Then we played rugby and football.
The work here is going pretty well, we are scheduled to have a baptism this weekend so that will be good for this ward. Things have been progressing very well.
Another thing that was amazing about this week was that we had General Conference. I loved all the talks and it is hard for me to pick which was my favorite, so that will have to wait till I decide. But during the Priesthood session, I was freaking out cuz of the father-son choir from Cache County. I saw Robert and Leonard Teeters (who I home taught before coming out), Nathan Nielsen, and his dad, a couple of my seminary teachers, Brother Anderson and Brother Dennison, I swear I saw my dentist Dr. Butler, and I saw Tom Galloway, and a couple other people from my stake back home. I also saw Addy's dad and brother! It was pretty crazy, since my companion and I were the only ones watching it at the church I would like shout out their names, and how I knew them. It was crazy, although I am a bit disappointed in the Representation of the Takis Clan, or the lack thereof. My little brother Ptobias is always talking about how he has a better singing voice than Justin Beiber, and he still hasn't proven it to me. So I am disappointed.
Other than that it has been stormy all week, tons of rain, lightning, thunder, wind, and hail. It is getting cold. The power has been going in and out through the week. It actually went out while we watched General Conference, so we missed like 5 minutes of a talk, I can't remember which one it was but that was lame.
Anyway Love you all,
Elder Takis

Hunting Down Kittens in an Old RV Filled with Humble Pie
9/25/17 Email:
Ya'at'teh' Everyone,
So to start off, umm, well, last week I was talking some mad trash... Anyway while golfing last Monday, the 3 of us who were competing were all neck and neck after hole 7. We only did 9 cuz of time. But anyway at the end of hole 7 I had this blister on my thumb that made it really difficult to swing the club. Actually it got to the point where I just couldn't hold on to the club very well, so the last 2 holes I got down 7 strokes to both of them and lost... I'm not making any excuses but that's just what happened. So that was the humble pie.
We had Zone Conference on Wednesday, and that was really amazing. It is going to change me a whole lot more than I already have changed.
The rest of the week was kinda slow, cuz nobody really wanted to let us in and almost all of our appointments fell through. But on Saturday we were doing service for one of the less actives we have been working with. He has this RV/trailer thing in his yard that he has been meaning to fix, but he needed it moved. It has been there a long time. So he got in his truck and told me to get in the RV/trailer to steer it while he pulled it out. So I got in there and looked back and there was this sketchy lookin' cat right there, and it started hissing at me. At this point the man had already started to pull it out, so I couldn't get out of there. So in my head I was thinking, "Oh Crap, this mama cat is about to go ham on me!" cuz she had a bunch of kittens in there. Well she actually just ran out of a hole that was in the RV/trailer and left the kittens. So we got it situated and I got out and told the member, "You got a nice family of cats in there," and he was like, "There are cats in there?!" Well long story short we went hunting for the kittens to get them out, but we couldn't find them. That thing stunk pretty bad, too...
Another funny experience was when we were out tracting, and this lady opened the door and went to slam it on us, but her dog got in the way and it ran out. So she was like, "Are you kidding me?" and picked up the dog and threw it in the house and then continued to slam the door on us. haha talk about a fail.
So that was the excitement for the week. All of the pictures taken golfing were taken on Elder McFarland's camera. So sorry about that, I had to focus on my game (not that I won).
Love Y'all,
Elder Takis
