Rain Drops

May 28, 2018

Started off the week with some service at the Jones's place before pday was even done helped them pull up their rock strips along the driveway. Once we got that done we got packed up for exchanges in swift. Just as we were about to leave we got a call from the Saskatoon elders and they said they wanted us to take a baptism for them in our area. The guy that they had been teaching named John had been coming to our branch more than he was in Saskatoon so they figured it best for him to be baptized here. Nothing about the baptism was planned yet so we told them we'd have to figure stuff out when we got back from swift. Seemed like this was a last minute kinda thing moving the baptism here but I'm not complaining!

Exchanges were pretty good this time around up here in swift. We helped clean out their font in the church, did some service with bro Montez cleaning out more rock from old yard ideas he had.

The whole time him and Fowler were giving each other a hard time, because Fowler kept breaking all our tools. By the end of this project his nickname was the destroyer. Guess the last time he cut down the wrong tree in their yard and tried fixing it by twisting hangers around the trunk to hold it all together. Haha

When we got home these gifts were all dead from doing 2 1/2 hrs. of service with him! They tried to say well I was shoveling and pushing the wheelbarrow around full of rock the whole time, that was a long time to be doing that haha I just laughed at'em and thought how they'd be if they had to come spend a day on the ranch.

So we found out when we got back from exchanges that our baptism wasn't going to happen this week but hopefully next week! Guess he's got a little bit a learning to do still. 

Not a whole lot happened this week after exchanges. Rained a bit throughout the week so that was good for everyone! 

The rain inspired me and Abadicio to write a song haha it's called raindrops and it's based on a myth that missionary have where some believe that the more raindrops that fall on your tag the better looking your spouse will be after the mission haha so yup it's a pretty funny song. We sang it for the woodruffs last night after church, they thought it was pretty good/funny.

Did lots a walking and dying of heat most days trying to find new people. Got to 34 one day.... I miss the wind back home! There’s no wind here to kinda cool you off.

Things have been good here the last little bit despite the lack of people we are finding. Long as we are doing our part that's all that matters soon enough we'll be findin where their hiding!

Well love ya all talk to ya next week!
