This past week has been SICK! Last Monday Elder Walker and I
went up Whitney Portal and did some solid trail sessions below Mt. Whitney. We
did that for a while and then got a call from the Bishop Elders asking if we
wanted to go up to Mammoth and see if they have some cool Labor Day sales. I
didnt really want to but Elder Walker did. I soon changed my mind once I got up
to Mammoth! I was tired so I had Elder Walker drive up there, and when I woke
up I thought I was in Park City! No joke I was in heaven!!!! Ski shops
everywhere, snow capped mountains, weird German tourists that kept asking us
for directions. All of it was so sick! Honestly this area is the best area
EVER! Im so happy up here its awesome! The other sick thing that happened was I
bought some sick moose leather Moccasins! They are so comfortable its unreal :)
So last monday was great!
The rest of the week was super service oriented. I think we
have done about 30 or 35 hours of service. The limit is 10 but President told
us not to worry about it. A pretty cool thing happened to us on wednesday
though! We were walking along the street and a guy pulled up, got out and said
that he stopped just to talk to us. He had seen the book of mormon play. I was
pretty worried but he went on and said that his "friend" was really
sad that the hotel he was staying at had a bible but not a book of mormon, so
he asked if he could have one to give to his friend. Whether there is a friend
or not I dont know but it was actually nice to have been approached first!
Saturday was probably the most exciting day. We got to go
dove hunting with our investigator and since we werent allowed to shoot, we
just fetched the dead birds. It was way fun, I almost killed our investigator
when he ripped the head off of one of the doves and got blood on my shirt and
on my tie. Dude I almost lost it I was so mad! That seriously was a fun day
though. It was pretty funny because there were 3 hunters there all stacked out
with gear. Then there was Elder Walker and I with our white shirts and ties, I
felt a bit out of place but whatever! It was for sure a sick week! I was pretty
stoked last week that I hit my year mark! I would say the time went by super
fast, but it does feel like a year. I just think it seems fast because you
realize that a year is not a very long time at all. It has been a lot of fun
though, its been for sure hard. Definitely the hardest thing I have done but
its also very fulfilling!
Love you guys! Have a fantastic week!

this is a sick background showing the ugly side of the
Sierra Nevadas. I say Ugly because in comparison to the view from our apartment
its not very impressive!
