As my subject line says, it’s been constantly mid 80s here,
while y’all are sitting in 30 inches of fresh snow. Now, to be honest, I’d switch with you in a heartbeat.
I love the winter and snow!
Today, I get to do something I haven’t done in 15 months…the
thing I live for. That would be going fishing!!! A less active member owns some private ponds
he lets people use and he is taking us and the Sister missionaries tomorrow. It’s
like an oasis in the middle of the desert. It’s pretty darn cool and I wasn’t able
to sleep last night, because I was so excited!
Here is what my week looked like:
Monday: Tombstone, what a blast. I felt like we were at Wall
Drug in Wall SD. It was a wonderful
time, full of laughs and history. I can’t
wait to take you guys down there!

Tuesday consisted of of contacting people and some service
around the house. The service involved
digging up grass to make a garden for the people who are hosting us. Having to
earn our keep takes some time out of our day, but it helps us maintain sanity
and helps the G__s with things that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. I hope that makes sense.

Wednesday: What a day!
Service, service and then more service. We started out loading boxes for our local Foodbank.
After the Foodbank we had our District Meeting. District Meeting was good, we talked about
receiving personal revalation and having the Spirit. After District Meeting we went out to eat at
one of the local cafés here. They have
darn good burgers. The one I had, had jalapenos
cream cheese, onions bacon and I added coleslaw. It was a darn good burger! For the rest of our day we did stop-by visits
out in the harsh wind. After our dinner appointment,
we picked up a potential investigator. Her
husband is an avid hunter and fisher and is a professional bull rider. He’s so
fun to talk to.
Thursday, we worked at St. David’s Foodbank for 3 to 4
hours. After the Foodbank we had a joint
lesson with the Sister missionaries with a recent convert. After that we had lunch with her as well. She made meatloaf. Later, we had dinner with the T__ family, then
we went home for the evening and kibitzed with S__ & D__ , the people who
host us.
Friday was brutal! First, we spent the morning helping with some
yard work for this lady named Machete Betty. She is fun. Following that, we spent
most of the day moving the Sister Missionaries out of their old apartment and into
a new one. That took a while. We had
dinner on our own due to our dinner appointment standing us up. But its
whatever.
Saturday, we did our weekly planning and finished up digging
D__’s garden. It was a good long day.
Sunday: Don’t even
get me started about Sunday. Not only did we have 8 hours of church, but between
all of the Sacrament Meetings we go to, we sat through 7 strait talks on
genealogy. They were so boring. Not only
boring, but monotone and monotonous. It made for a long day. Luckily, we had dinner
with S__ & D__ and then a short visit with the S__ family.
I hope you have a wonderful week and please be safe on those
wintery roads.
I can’t wait to hear from y’all. I love you
Love,
Elder Connor
