Truck 0 - Deer 1

Hey y'all hope your had a great week!!

So now that I've spent about a week here in my new area I've learned a few more things about it.  So, like I said in my last email the area is called Wagner/Winner and it is probably the biggest area in our mission because our area consists of two branches.  One in the town Wagner and one in the town of Winner.  But the town where our apartment is in is called Armour and it's 30 ish minutes north of Wagner.  So we have to drive 30 every morning to "work".  And I won't lie, these towns make my first area Atlantic, Iowa look big.  So the work is definitely going to be slow and very hard but the members here are awesome and I want to help them as much as I can here.

So fire, church here we alternate every other week for both branches.  This past Sunday we were in Winner which is about an hour and a half away, so had to leave real early to make it on time for church.  Then afterwards we just worked all day in Winner and that night we had a meal with the Williams family.  They are super awesome and Brother Williams is the master of dad jokes.  He is super funny and probably like the most normal family out here.

After our dinner with the Williams we had an hour and a half dive home and it was very dark cuz it was like 7:00.  We made it about halfway perfectly fine, then on one stretch of land we were driving and there were these two cars coming the other way.  I was kind lounging in my chair and I looked and I saw a deer and I yelled "deer!" and Elder McNeil saw and slammed on the brakes.  I thought it was about the be the end our Nissan Frontier, so I kinda braced for the impact, but luckily the deer at the very last second cut back the other way and we just tagged it with out mirror.  Needless to say, our side mirror was very broke but we were fine.  We are still going to be getting a new car but it could have been sooooo much worse and I'm very thankful it wasn't. 

That's it this week.  Loves y'all, drive safe

Hey yall! Hopw you had a good week and a good 4th.  This week was pretty good. This week was transfer week so things were a little crazy but me and my comp are both staying here in Brookings which is lit, but nothing really to crazy happend with transfers sooooo. But of course we had the 4th of July this week and sadly, cuz this ward is a little wack, no one invited us over for a party or fireworks so we were on our own.  We went to Walmart and bought a cheap charcoal grill and we whipped up some mash potatoes and some steaks. But after that we tried to go and played Frisbee golf and as soon as we started playing the first hole we were getting swarmed by like 40-50+ mosquitos.   Because of that, the second we finished the first hole we booked it back to our car and left and went bowling. Sadly since it was raining no one was really shooting off fireworks but on Friday we started to hear a lot of fire works and we realized it was the city shooting them off so we hopped in ...

Hey yall hope you had a great week! So this week was the last week of the transfer and I was really hoping that I was going to leave.  But unfortunately, I am staying for a 4th transfer here in Brookings.  Now I'm not upset that I get to stay here, I mean I love it here.  But it's only fun as a missionary for like 4 and a half months and then it gets boring.  But I'm excited as well.  We have some awseome people we are teaching who have a lot of potential. This week we had a lesson with our friend Lowless and he is a super cool guy.  He is from Papua New Guinea and he is a such a cool guy.  He is very introverted and very soft spoken so it was kinda hard for him to talk to the members, but he will get more comfortable as he comes more.  But the craziest thing is that he has only been in the US for three weeks.  He is here with some program where he comes to SDSU for school, but hopefully we will be able to set him on date for baptism. Anyways...

How's it going peeps?  I hope y'alls weeks was great!!!   This week was baller we had zone conference so that was swag. Tuesday was just a regular normal day just knocking doors and trying to find some people to teach. Since our area is super big we cover many small little towns and we recently got a referal for this lady next to this one small town called Cumberland. So on this day we decided to go down there to see if we could talk to a few people but it really sucked since literally nobody was home and the lady that we had the referral for said that she didn't want to meet with us yet since she has like issues with her husband so she didn't want us to come over. So the whole like 25-30 minute drive to this small town was all for nothing, so that sucked. Then when we got back we went over to a recent converts house to help him move some stuff in his nasty garage and when i say this garage was nasty is was NASTY so after that, I just ended the night. But on Wednesday n...
