Elder Panttaja Email

Well,

 I don't think I told you the name of my new companion! His name is Elder Panttaja! 

Try to pronounce that! Ha! Can't be done!

Anyway this week was exciting! Lots happened. We had people come to church, we had lessons, we had transfers! Elder Colón is finally in Driggs speaking Spanish!

On Wednesday we taught a girl that we had been trying for a while, the lesson went really well, but Elder Colon only got to see them for a quick minute before he was transferred on Thursday.

As of Thursday, transfers happened. I did not move but I was put with a new district and a new Comp, Elder Panttaja. He is super into animals and is likely going into zoology. 

Sunday was rather busy we had to go to lots of different places during the day we had Three sacrament meetings, then three regular meetings, then some lessons then we finally were home for the night.

We have been sharing the new video by the church. "The Christ Child" if you haven't seen it go watch it. it's very good.

Rose: Elder Panttaja is really cool and good about getting things done.

Thorn: My district needs some help, and It won't be as easy as my last one.

Big Dumb Email

Dear Family,

This was a real week. I feel like I was more dumb than usual.

Case in point. 

On Sunday this week, we went out to one of our wards that was meeting at 9. Because of daylight savings time ending we have an extra hour of sleep. (our alarms auto fixed themselves so that was not the big Dumb moment.)

What happened was that I was still messed up in the morning and rushed out the door in my hurry thinking we were going to be late, having not looked at my watch at all.

We were headed down the road when I noticed that I left my phone at the apartment. No big deal, I don't need my phone. But then My companion notes "is your jacket in the car? Oops I had forgotten my suit jacket. We swing back and I grab that and my phone. 

But in my infinite dumbness I forgot to grab a tag for my jacket! So I get to the car and again my companion saves me and I grab a tag before we head out. And finally to put the icing on the cake I am rushing around because I still think we are late. 

Then I look at my watch and realize that we are about 20 minutes early. It was only downhill from there. Everything that day was me on auto pilot that was trying to drive off a cliff. I truly had the Big Dumb. 

Other than that the week was Awesome! Halloween night was fun. We all got together and played a giant game of werewolf with the zone. As per usual I was killed first. Oh well.

Along with that I made a cooler full of root beer, along with all the fun that dry ice provides. (That stuff is a lot cheaper than I thought, Why don't I always have some on hand?!)


There was also more junk food than even a group of 15 young men could eat. It was too much. I ended up at the end of the night with about 2 gallons of leftover root beer. (rip) 

We also were able to teach a tripp and taryn, they are ready for Baptism, but they need to pick a date. Also their dad is kinda lazy about helping them. :/

That's the big stuff this week. 

Rose: Halloween

Thorn: rip root beer
