Chicken for Dinner! June 15, 2011

howdy ya'll!

don't worry about the craziness family. i understand sometimes it's hard to write to your lonely son who lives so far away that you can't see or even talk to on a regular basis. i mean don't worry, i think he'd be okay if you ddidn't make time to sit down for a minute to write him a simple email so that he has a glimpse of happiness in his week... i'm sure that young boy would understand.... HAHA just kiddin pops. and mom. i'm doing GREAT :) and thanks for trying to email every week. it's awesome! sometimes it's hard and time just flies but i really appreciate the amount that ya'll write me. so don't worry about if you miss a week.

things are going well. and i'm working hard with my companion and we found 10 new investigators last week!!! it was so cool and it just fed the fire for us. we just wanted to keep working because of that. and we have goals to keep on finding. we are starting to try and teach Juans' wife. i think that things should work out :) he has kids but they are all grown up now. some of them live close by though so maybe we can teach them in the future.

we killed, prepped and ate the chicken last week. i almost chickend out of doin it but i just thought, if devin and dad were here, they would do it! so we did. i have to send pictures! my comp did the killing but after that i was in there for everything! i pulled the guts out and i held it's heart... haha it really was a great learning experience. for real. now i know how to kill prep and cook chicken from the beginning.

Gutting the chicken that we just killed!
You have to be brave or crazy to do this!

Are you sure this isn't considered a foreign mission?

Enjoying the fruits of their labors!

well there's not a whole lot to say today. we had a couple changes in the zone and we're excited aobut that. i will hopefully be in this area with this ward for one more transfer. that would mean that i spend just over a year in the ward! and 8 months in the area. i wouldn't mind.

i love you all!
