Hello everyone!

man this week has been just ALLLLLL driving!!  Haha it's been a good week tho.  It started out on tuesday we basically did a loop of our area, went thru Sharon Springs, KS and then headed to Cheyenne Wells, CO and all the little cities along the way!  Went up thru Burlington CO on our way back home.  It was about 150 mile loop haha.  It was good tho cause I've never been down to work in that part of our area.  Then wednesday we embarked on the 3.5 hour drive to Pueblo to see Paul V Johnson.  It was an incredibly boring drive, there was a lot of cows and open fields haha.  Pueblo is definitely an interesting place too.  We stayed in I guess is the ghetto of it haha.  Thursday after the conference we drove back and the whole district stayed at our apartment cause it was so late and we're the closest.  Friday we went to Colby, KS for district meeting and then drove to Burlington, CO afterward for work over there and to go to a birthday party.  So Saturday is the only day we spent the entire time in Goodland haha.  It's been fun seeing new places tho, I've started a good collection of water tower pictures haha.  At the birthday party I got to be in charge of moving the Pinata, I ended up making it hit the adults who were swinging at it haha.  We get to go to another one for the same family on thursday... Who has two thumbs and is excited?  This guy.  Haha.  Oh it's supposed to snow tomorrow or wednesday, which will be interesting.  Otherwise I don't think there's too much else coming up except for halloween and transfers at the same time next monday!!  The church is true, love you all!!

Hello Folks

It's kinda weird going back to normal church and all that again after 2 weeks away because of general and stake conference!  This week has been pretty good, really short.  On saturday we went to a harvest party our branch hosted at a member's house, who happens to live on a ranch where they raise buffalo.  It was pretty awesome.  The Colby Elders were there too so I got to talk to Elder Mahe and Darley haha.   This upcoming week is going to be fun too!  On Wednesday, we're heading to Pueblo, CO via Garden City, KS to see member of the seventy visiting our mission!  So we'll be gone almost all day thursday.  It's gonna be fun tho cause we'll be driving in a caravan, so there's gonna be all these cars that are from colorado, they'll all be the same (except for us, I am the driver of a subaru instead of a chevy malibu haha) with all these guys in white shirts and ties and bike racks on the back haha.  It's gonna be sweet!!! 

Well that's all I have, the church is true!!

Hello everyone

This week has been pretty crazy.  There have been two tornados in the general area this week, but the nearest to here was like 50 miles away.  We had stake conference this week in Garden City which was awesome.  The tongan missionary in our district got mistaken for a mexican, a senior missionary came up to him and started talking in spanish haha.  Had interviews and before we started role plays with the aps we had an awesome conversation about making our own pokemon.  One of the aps decided that he would want a rhino with armor plating, then have a silverback gorrilla riding it with a chain gun.  I think his wins honestly.  Not too much going on in the work here, things are still slow.  That's about all I have, the church is true!

Hello everyone

Man wasn't conference awesome?!  I love conference weekend, get to hear great talks, feel the spirit, and we're not outside all day long!  Yay!!  Things here have been pretty good, it's been hot still, but hopefully that'll change now that it's officially october!  happy 8 months!! Yay!! I'm retarded haha.  So on thursday night we got caught in a parade for homecoming, it was pretty cool haha.  We had an awesome district meeting on friday as well, I love our district out here.  We have stake conference on this sunday and also interviews on monday so fun stuff still coming up!!  It's gonna be weird being away from our apartment for 2 days haha.   Otherwise not much to talk about today, I hope everyone is well and is enjoying this beautiful season.  The church is true, I testify of it!

I decided to send pictures since I haven't done it in awhile.  Mega oreo is numba one, and the other is a hilarious chinese buffet sign in Burlington.  Elder Kannan pointed it out before he left haha.

Hello everyone

THis week has been pretty uneventful.  New comp and all but that's about it.  We had two people with baptismal dates, but it's questionable how serious they actually are.  Otherwise, it's the same old thing for work.  This weekend Goodland had a car show festival, but sadly I missed it by about an hour and half so everything was pretty much over.  Dangit!!  Oh well haha.  Not much else to say but the church is true!  Oh and Daniel has been practicing karate since he got the karate kid dvds haha!!  I love that guy!
