Hey!
This week was pretty good. Again we had a lot of people cancel on us but at the same time we were able to teach a few solid lessons! The best lesson we taught this week was probably our lesson last night. We taught a less active couple named the Adamson's. They are super friendly and I can't believe they ever went less active! We talked about enduring to the end and priorities. The lesson went really well and they told us they would be at church next week so I am pumped! Other than that we didn't have anything to exciting happen.
So Elder Buntrock and I basically ran church yesterday- Haha! We both spoke, taught Gospel Principals and taught Elders Quorum!! It was pretty crazy, and a little stressful, but it went well and I learned a lot. Although the lesson they had us teach in Elders Quorum was titled "The Moral Force of Women". Needless to say it was weird to teach on that subject as a missionary. It went alright though.
So last night we had dinner at the West's. They are an awesome young family. Brother and Sister West love guns and he has a .50 cal BMG. After dinner he took us out on their property and shot it a couple times for us. It was crazy to say the least. He wants to shoot an elk with it but I don't know how well that would work haha.
Sorry about not getting back to you about the St. Patty's day package you sent. I did get it and I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you so much! We even took some sweet pics with the green staches! Also, I got a great letter from the the Shaws which made my week. Those pictures you sent of them snow shoeing made me jealous haha! I miss it up there so much! It is crazy to think that the Shaw's mission is over in a transfer and a half!! Time seriously flies by.
So I did buy a pair of running shoes at Ross, but no basketball shoes. If I buy a pair of B-ball shoes I want to buy a nice pair that I can use for a while.
It sounds like your week was pretty fun. Feeding 8 missionaries is pretty darn impressive! I am sure the missionaries love going over to our house. I am so grateful for members that are willing to help the missionaries whenever they need it.
I am pretty pumped that Jessica taught this Sunday! I wish I could have been there! I can't believe she made a whole game! Lol. It is great to see her really progressing in the Gospel and fulfilling her callings!
I am jealous you get to go watch Cayden play soccer up in Phoenix! I miss soccer so bad. While you are up in Phoenix you should go meet Elder Buntrock's parents haha! Just kidding. I hope you have a fantastic week and accomplish everything that comes your way.
Love you more than a fat kid loves cake!!!

This last week was a pretty good one. We were able to teach a few lessons but again we just weren't as busy as I would like to be. We did get to do some service which you already know. I really enjoy doing service and taking a break from the everyday things in the life of a missionary. We are hopefully going to help put a fence up this week or next week which should be fun. It is crazy that I think splitting wood and putting up a fence is fun. Haha just goes to show anything is possible.
Elder Buntrock and I continue to get along great. We have a few set appointments this coming week but hopefully we can set a couple more.
For P-Day today we were going to go golfing. Laurel has a really nice Golf Course and on Mondays missionaries can play for free! We borrowed clubs and everything but it snowed and is still snowing so I doubt we will be doing that anymore. Maybe next Monday though. I love playing golf though! I think we will just play some basketball and maybe even go bowling with some members in our ward. Who knows though!
Thanks for updating me on basketball. When we were visiting a recent convert over in a town we cover called Park City her husband had the BYU vs Oregon game on. It was so hard to not watch it and I am not going to lie, I peeked a few times, but like you said BYU was always behind. Carlino still sucks haha!!! Keep me updated on the Cats though! It would be great to see them win the whole thing!
Like you, I can not wait to see the trail cam pics! Hopefully something cool shows up on camera! I really think that dam further in could be a great spot so you better check it out and take some pics when you go check the camera. I miss the southern AZ desert more than I ever thought I would. I also miss the heat a lot more than I thought I would, but I am sure once summer rolls around I won't be saying that anymore!
I love you more than a buck loves a doe in estrus! Bahahaha
