Week 20

A few new things this week.  To start off I pulled the Baby Jesus out of the Rosca at a members house and will now have to make tamales for Feb 2.  Gas hit 1.99 for unleaded here in Colorado and that is super insane to me.  Makes me consider moving here after my mission but then I think, "Of course not you fool".  Maybe Denver but I don't serve there so I wouldn't know all that well what its like.  I had an interesting exchange with one of our investigators.  He was telling us how he has to go to Mexico for two weeks and will drive down to El Paso to cross the border.  I told him I was born in the EP and he said he loves El Paso and wants to move there one day. He is probably talking about the East side but hey, its still El Paso.  The best part of the week would have to be when we went to Loveland for the day and Elder Bednar visited our mission and talked to us for a little bit and then had a discussion with us and finally let us ask him questions.  It was great but I wish some people didn't get called on to ask him a question, most of the questions were great and very personal but one, and I will always remember it, was just plain dumb.  I say dumb because the kid that asked it doesn't have any special needs and wasn't trying to be cool and ask a stupid question.  His question was, "do you ever get a revelation and tell Monson and Monson says wow that was really cool".  I turned to the guy next to me and said, "is he serious?"  Other than that it was wonderful and I learned a lot.  I wanted to thank you for your prayers and letters!  I love you guys and encourage you to have a great rest of your week.

These are lollipops that are made by the Special Ed class at the school. Mt. Dew flavored for the extra mile but I almost got the "fuzzy navel" flavor but then I remembered who made them…...
