Happy Birthday Merica!!

7/10/2017

Happy 4th everyone!! Yeah I know I'm a bit late but hey better late than never!! I love this holiday I mean how great is a country who celebrates its Independence by blowing stuff up!?!  Good stuffJ  We started the fourth by hanging out with some members and an investigator, just celebrating with them. It was awesome!!  Then that night we were able to stay out later (definitely an answer to prayers) I was really worried we wouldn't be able to see any fireworks which really bummed me out since my favorite holiday is the Fourth of July!! So we got to go to a fireworks show in Pinesdale and for those who may not know that's where all the polygamists live.  In Pinesdale there are three types of people when it comes to missionaries; the people who don't care at all, the people who love us and the people who hate us.  Because of this we got a lot of super funny looks from people and for those who know me I live for that 😂 so that was awesome!!  I love fireworks and America.  Enough said.

Then on Wednesday we helped a member paint their house so that was really fun!  I accidentally broke a paint roller so that was awkward... then we had some lessons, one with Darla and one with Mitch and they were both super awesome!!
On Thursday we helped a lady buck some hay again... we started at 7 in the morning and got done at 4:45 so that was pretty tiring and this time it actually was 900 bales of hay and it was something like 104 that day but like 10 or 20 degrees hotter in the barn... so it was pretty warm.  But it's all good because we got a new investigator out of it!!  

Then on Friday and Saturday we helped the Reynosos with some stuff because they're getting ready to move into their new place.  So we'll probably be helping them out quite a bit the next little bit; which is awesome because I love that family haha.

Then on Sunday we found out that Elder Skouson is getting transferred to Great Falls... now there's a funny story behind this all… so like 2 weeks into the transfer I was looking at the roster of all the missionaries in the missions and what areas they're in and I saw Great Falls with Elder Rickenbacker and I said hey Elder Skouson just want to let you know your transfer news early! You're going to go to Great Falls with Elder Rickenbacker... now fast forward to this last Sunday.  We get transfer calls and he's going to Great Falls with this Elder... how crazy is that!!  I totally called it!!  So that was pretty funny because everyone is like how did you know!?!  It was awesome!!  So yeah he's out of here but he's going to a wicked awesome place.  Great Falls is the bomb!!  But my new companion is Elder Wright.  I've met him a few times and he's an awesome missionary!!  Like he's a total stud so I'm excited to serve with him!! 

Anyway so that's the update and in the words of the forever famous elder Todd grey, "Happy Birthday Merica" love you all!! Remember who you are!!

Love,
