Hey!
So we are emailing today because we had some service yesterday and just didn't find the time between Preparation day and emailing. Anyway, the week was alright. It was actually kind of slow because of the fact that Elder Natay has been really sick. Go figure - and now I'm getting sick. I am not excited for the next week! Good news is Elder Natay is started to feel better. The best news about this last week is that Kasey (20 year old less active) said that he has seen a difference since he has been reading the Book of Mormon and praying everyday. He was also at church and stayed for all 3 hours!!!
Our main progressing investigator, Amanda, also made it to church but had to take off after Sacrament meeting. :( We also had a sweet dinner with some members. Their daughter just got back from a mission and said her friend has agreed to take the missionary discussions! So we are pretty pumped for that!!! For not being able to do a lot with Elder Natay sick we still managed to have a good week just a little less busy.
It sounds like you are having a fun time with my room. Haha. I am actually pretty excited/nervous to see how it looks. Also, about those antlers. There is a member here that I showed them to that said for $80 he could do a full shoulder mount. He does taxidermy on the side. He said if I bought the form, eyes, ears and had the antlers recolored he has a cape and would mount it for free. Something to really think about since it would normally cost like $500. Either way I do want to recolor the antlers. There is a Taxidermist here that does it really well and he said it would cost around $20. Anyway let me know what you think.
For preparation day we went shed hunting and also checked out the new scheels. It was a good day. We (Elder Allen and I) found 5 antlers total. I found 3 and he found 2. I found one nice 6 point shed, a weird 3 point elk shed and a medium small 4 point deer shed. He found a nice 7 point shed and small 6 point shed. It was a pretty good hike. We also saw a small bull elk. the new scheels here is sweet. We mainly stayed up in the hunting and sports sections. It was pretty funny though because we were dressed exactly like a lot of the workers we got asked a ton if we worked there and I was actually able to help like 3 different people in the hunting department out and on of the guys said I was more helpful than the people that worked there. Haha! Not to toot my own horn but I thought it was funny!
I hope you have an awesome week and even thought it may be busy I hope it isn't to stressful!!
I love you!

Hey Dad,
It sounds like you had a very busy yet great weekend. I wish we had a baptism coming up soon but hey maybe this week we can change that!! Hopefully! We did have good week. We were able to meet with most of the same people. We had a good day at church with one less active and one investigator and her family coming. It was an interesting sacrament meeting haha. The last two meetings were good though. I can't really think of any experiences to share. We were able to go help the Smith's hang some more siding. There house is finally coming together. We have actually been able to do a lot of service lately which is awesome. I love working. It helps release some stress and it helps me not have such girly hands haha. I hate not having callus's on my hands.
Although you might be excited to hear me speak when I get home I am not excited. For all of the times I have spoke in church I still hate it. Although I do feel like I have improved a bit which is good. Do you think that they will let me choose my topic for my homecoming talk or will they assign me a topic?
Thanks for the sports updates! I have heard about the whole BYU thing and how they are "Killin' it". How are the colts and seahawks doing? What about the Oregon Ducks?
I have heard you guys have been getting pounded with rain?!? Hopefully that is true. It might be a little late to help the deer growth out. Hopefully you get some sweet pics on the trail cam. Also I have a box to send home but need some money to get it home. So... if you could help me out Lol. Sorry.
The weather here has been all over the place. We got down to the 30's and 40's for a couple days but we are already back up in the high 70's. I can tell you now that I am not excited for the cold to come or the grey days! At least I won't have to endure the whole winter and will get to have a winter in the desert!!
Hope you have an awesome week. Love you!
