Shower Power Naps

October 10^th, 2016

Dad's Report: I found out that we don't have any anymore investigators. They have left or they only let us in to get out of the heat because they felt sorry for the Elders. The new ward is different, it is very much so a just starting ward. There are a lot of single moms with their kids, that became converted to the gospel when their boyfriends dumped them because they got pregnant. They had their kids and are now the ward. They are a ward of single mom's trying to raise their kids in the gospel that they converted too, and they have some awesome testimonies that they bore over the pulpit this fast Sunday. It is cooling off, not that I would notice because my companion likes to keep the temp at about 60 degrees all the day long. The biking is not as bad but it is still bad, we have to take dirt paths to go ANYWHERE in our area, and Goatheads, stickers or whatever you call them are a problem. I’ve had 2 popped tires with tire liners and now I upgraded again to now I have a new tube and another Tire liners. Dinners are a struggle here because the ward is mostly single sisters, we don't get to be fed often, but we do get dinners from the families that are supper cool. There is a member here who started out homeless, he met the missionaries and it turned his life around and now he is a multi-millionaire, and he has a 2016 stingray Corvette that he put a super charger in it. Yes, I am keeping the apartment clean, you know how Jesus Said "Greater things then I have done you shall do" yeah I have proof of that statement, I raised from the Oblivion of death that apartment to where now it is a resurrected apartment. Spiritually, I am growing like crazy if you count how often I am repenting and I have been slacking in the Journal Entry department I have gotten out of the habit, I will do better. I have been studying a talk on the atonement I will try to send it to you, I suggest that you listen to the Whole thing and follow the scripture chase that he leads you on in it. 

Love you all,

Ammon

 

Dear family,

 

Well Monday was crap we did nothing and we didn't even get to leave the apartment because both of us were so tired that we passed out in our study chairs waiting for dinner the next day to text us back, this is after we did all of the p-day necessities.

 

Tuesday, we had district meeting which was not very good because not everyone was there so we had to make a goulash of the zone. It sucked because our zone is so big that some thought that it was cancelled and were informed as the meeting was starting that it is indeed happening. So by the time everyone got ready and got to the meeting, the meeting we had was over, but on the good side of things I got to play a game of sorts that elders play. It’s missionary Hide and seek but you only play it if someone is going to the bathroom, and the person who went has to find everyone. That day we had nothing planned because we fell asleep the night before. So that is our own fault. Oh, we did have a dinner that night and the couple showed us their custom-built computers they work from home. They basically compile all of the data that companies send them into usable data. The husband has a Killer World of Warcraft Set up; he does that while the other computer is crunching the numbers.

 

Wednesday, we did service. We picked tomatoes and I got to use those agricultural skills that I learned from dad. Talked to the guy about hoop houses, raised beds, best type of soil for different plants (usually it's squash that they are growing.) We did a ton of cleaning of our apartment when we got back so much that we fell asleep. I was so tired that I fell asleep in the shower standing up, and didn't wake up until the water went cold, which sucks because it wasn't a gradual thing it was like someone turned to valve all the way to cold. We had stake Coordination they want to know our numbers so we gave it to them. We found a tennis ball and started to play tag with it, the Youth were ruthless because they would slide on the polished wood floor, we couldn't because it would rip our pants.

 

Thursday, we cleaned a lady’s lawn. We visited people all day trying to get to know them and that is when we found out that we have no one in our area to teach. We have to find more.

 

Friday, we were weekly planning and we had a long session in that and we didn't get out till about 5 pm because we were trying to think up ways to find people to teach. I received a call from President Taylor. He does a random call thing and he called me and wanted to know how I was so it was weird. We talked to an eternigator and she wants to be baptized but she will give up coffee in her own time, so we are working with her on that

 

That is all I got for you because I have to go,

 

I love you all,

Ammon,

 

PS: I would love some Jerky.
