How do you say goodbye to people who mean so much to you???  Honestly the answer is you can't.  All you can say is see you later.  That's what it was like in Bigfork.

Monday was spent packing up all my belongings then Tuesday was spent saying goodbye to all of my newfound family.  I've gotten so close to all of the people there.  They honestly have become family to me and I have so many good memories from my time there.  I hope that eventually I'll get to serve around there again.  Bigfork has been such a testimony builder for me and the effects missionary work has on everyone you meet.  Special shout-out to Brooke, Hayden and Harli!!  You guys changed me and my mission for the better and I consider myself lucky to have gotten to know you guys!!  

The next day was transfer day and so me and Elder Patterson drove down to Helena and had a total blast road-tripping it!!  It was so fun!!  I freaking love that guy!!  He's like one of my top best friends I swear!!  Anyway so we get to Helena and then we go from Helena to Stevensville then from there to Hamilton.  It was really sweet seeing a lot of missionaries I haven't seen in a long while!!  Like I got to see Elder Allen again!!  I haven't seen him since I finished my second transfer!!  So that was really awesome.  I also got to see the sisters that came out with me.  It was awesome!!

The rest of this week was filled of new faces and contacting lots of people.  This area seems like such a unique area.  There is legit a polygamist colony up here and we teach some of them and it's super cool!!  I mean where else will I serve where I get this kind of opportunity??  It's really cool.  I've met a lot of really awesome people as well.  On Friday night we went to a barbecue for a member’s son that lives up in Pinesdale (that's where all the polygamists live) it was really awesome because we got to meet a lot of the people up there!!  I played this fun game where you knock over wood blocks.  Totally spaced taking pictures so that's my bad... but it was so fun!!  I also found out that I'm straight trash at badminton haha.  It was fun though because I got super hyped playing it and really loosened up playing with them.  It was really fun.  Earlier that day we were actually contacting someone and we pull up and walk up to the door and there are a couple of goats just chillin.  Well Elder Skouson apparently is terrified of goats so when they didn't answer the door naturally I walked in front passed the goats and trapped him in the yard with them and videotaped him.  Might just be the funniest thing ever.  Anyway so that was our week.

This Sunday was quite the day. It was a day full of church... like from 8-4 all church... I was starting to get a headache and my stomach was just being super weird... like it wasn't because I was hungry.  Anyway so that was fun!!  I have no clue what preparation days will be like here but we will figure it out!!  Love y'all!!
