Thank you so much for the pictures! When did you get the picture of the coyote? I've never seen a coyote as of yet at the ranch.
I love how the house is looking. I'm not sure if I will recognize it when I get back. I totally forgot that the Packer reunion was a Fish Lake. So Kirk put this all together? That's pretty impressive. Is everybody renting cabins or just camping? You mentioned Trixie is acting weird is she feeling alright?
on my side things have been good as well! I might be leaving this area soon, I will find out this weekend. Not quite sure what to expect with that. I Could be sent anywhere in the Hawaiian islands if I do leave!
This week was our zone conference so we spend the entire day Friday in meetings/trainings. It was very spiritual. we played a game called the obedience game I'm not sure if only our mission does that. But it's a game where everyone stands up and then sister Bekker will ask us if we've done certain things like read our scriptures daily and if we have not we sit down. If we are remaining standing up after a few questions we get a prize. At first I thought it was just fun way to humiliate disobedient missionaries. But it was actually kind of fun and I won a prize! I also got my chance to bear my greenie ("new guy") testimony. Some people commented that I looked like a bishop while I was giving it. I guess it was because of the way I was grabbing the pulpit. I just did what I've always seen dad do so I thought that was pretty special. This week has been pretty slow it's been hard to meet with our investigators because they are so busy. But I got a chance to meet a man named Chemo. He was very welcoming to us and started filling a bag of food for us when he answered the door. He was a very nice guy and talked to us for a little while. He is a member but he works every week. But he takes pride that his family's home has history with their ward (Hawaiian ward). It was neat to meet him. I can picture him waiting to come back to church someday. We are going to try to continue to meet with him whenever he is not working. It will require quite a lifestyle change for him to come back to church but I think he knows that's where he needs to be. He also has a few kids that are teenagers who we could also teach as well. The work is fairly slow here because everyone is so busy. But those we find have such great potential because they are actually willing to listen to our message.
I wish there was a little more to report I
Love you so much. (Ps You will have to let me know how the reunion goes)
Love you
- Elder Esplin
