Climbing the "Mountain" 1.19.20

Well, I am on my iPad today because it's Martin Luther King Day so you might get a lot longer letter than normal. Plus, I'm not able to send it out to the family for some reason because the family thing on my iPad is not working. So I'm just sending it to you three… so if you could disburse this letter it would be great. 

Transfers will be next week and it's going to be crazy. Super cool experience, though. We were at church at one of the wards and a nonmember and his second wife just decided to show up. We have never seen them before. They live like right across the street from the church. I talked to him for the two hours and their five-year-old boy had a really good time in primary.  He learned about Jesus and he really liked the treats, but it was super cool. And then we asked them if they would like to have us stop by and get to know them a little bit more, and probably teach them. They were totally cool with that. I handed him my iPad and he just put all of his information in; his Social Security number, credit card number, everything you need….just kidding. But I think it will be a really great opportunity, of course. 

Things are starting to pick up right before transfers, so I bet I'll be getting transferred because things are going to pick up after six months. 

Yesterday, we stopped by this inactive lady that we’ve been trying to get in for six months, and finally, she opened the door. We talked to her and got to know her pretty well. We talked about her kids for about a half an hour yesterday.  It was really cool! We set up a time that we can come by in about two weeks to have a lesson with her. I think it's going to be really cool. Things are starting to go a lot more. 

This morning we got up early and hiked up this "Mountain.” It was really just a rather normal size hill. It did have some cool rocks on it, but we got up at about 5:15 this morning and headed up. It was still pretty warm weather… still like 50° in the early morning. It was a super nice hill. The whole zone got up there, then we went over to an older couple’s house. We had a really good breakfast. That was super fun! I'm super, super, super, super, super, super, tired. 

It was pretty funny. They talked up this mountain of a house that we really get to hike. It was on the Indian reservation, so we had to have some of the natives come out and guide us up. I took a lot of pictures that I was going to send home, but we are on our iPads for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It was pretty cool when we got there. We could only see the silhouette because only the moon was shining a little bit, and it was pretty funny….or was really pretty pathetic when I got there and actually saw that this was the mountain that we were going on. Ha! It probably took like 15 to 25 minutes to get to the top. 

Well, that's about all I can think of right now for this week. 

So, until next week!

Oh yeah, congratulations to Lydia for getting her call to Japan. That is super, super cool! And way awesome for Nancy for being on the Drill Team and placing first in three events and third in the dance. That is super cool! I’m happy to see that they're doing well and that they're performing well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
