Service Fun!


Hey Dad!

This week was good but kind of slow. We did not teach nearly as many lessons as I would like but we did teach a couple solid lessons. We taught a first lesson to this older lady and she loved it but didn't accept the invitation to be baptized. She did however take a Book of Mormon and promised us she would read it! We also taught a couple of younger kids. A 15 year old girl and a 13 year old boy. They are awesome kids and actually seemed really interested in our message but when we went back to their house for the return appointment there Mom shut us down. She was a really nice lady though and we convinced her to take our number and call us if they needed help with anything. I know that the 13 year old plays baseball so maybe we will try and go to one of his games and see if we can get things to progress from there. I don't know though. 

Elder Natay was sick Friday and Saturday and was down in bed. So that was a bummer. I really hope I don't get sick from him! T. is on date for June 14th but I am not sure she is going to make it. She has missed church the last couple of weeks and I am not sure she really understands the commitment of Baptism yet, but we will see.

Our Sunday was pretty good. We had an amazing Testimony meeting. We had the opportunity to teach Gospel Principals. We taught about free agency and the difference between a testimony and conversion. So what do you think is the difference between a testimony and conversion?

You are definitely right about the trail cam! I am not sure I want to send it back! They are a blast! I actually think your camera might take better pictures but it also might be because your pics are closer. That is crazy you got 1700 pics. We leave ours out for like 3-4 days and get like 10-15 pictures. I will send you a few. It looks like you need to do some coyote hunting out by that drinker! Coyotes for days!! Go kill one with your bow! We set our camera up in 2 different places know. one was in the middle of a small canyon with a marsh type thing in the bottom. We just found what looked like a trail and set it up. The other one was strictly just what looked like a deer trail. It isn't to close to town and is on private property so hopefully it won't get stolen!

I love you and can't wait to be back in the desert!
