Trailer living at its finest

August 9, 2010

Well, everything is going normal in Battle Mountain... which means that you don't really know what to expect. haha.

Last week we went to the temple in Reno, so that was a 3 hour drive there which meant we stayed there all day.  It was really fun.  We got to see one of our pre-missionaries go through the temple.  I love that family.  They are so cool.  He is going to South Africa on his mission and he is pretty nervous about it.  

The week before that we were in Reno for the leadership training.  It was very long and we didn't really learn anything new, just focused in on some things that we usually don't focus on or maybe forget in our work with investigators.  All in all it was good and I felt the Spirit and it motivated me to do better.  I got to see Elder Taylor 3 days in a row so that was really fun.  I love that kid.

This week we moved into our own single wide!!!  We are pretty excited about it.  We still haven't figured out how to get mail.  It is so much better than staying with members, though we don't have very much furnishings at the moment.  The only area that I haven't had to live with members in was in Dayton, so I'm glad to be back in my own place.  It's actually pretty big- 3 bdrms 2 bthrms.  I was surprised for a single wide how much room there is.  It's kinda dumpy, but not too much so it's perfect for missionaries.  Whatever we do or don't do will not affect its value.  haha.

Well that's all I have time for.  I love you all.  Thanks for sharing all the fun that you had.  I missed being there, but if I was there, I would most definitely miss being here.  I love my mission and I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
