Week 104: The Weatherfords and a Unique Young Men's Activity...

August 6, 2018

Well hey everyone! Things have been great over here in Colorado this week. Can't believe how time is flying. This week some of the highlights were being able to do service at a Fair and Rodeo in Castle Rock, having a great lesson with the Weatherfords and then just being able to work hard in the service of the Lord!

The Fair and Rodeo come to Castle Rock every year I guess and they have a big rodeo and carnival for a few days. We were "greeters" which meant that we just talked to everyone and asked if they needed anything or directed them to different places. We got to see the mutton busting event which was awesome. 

The Weatherfors are doing really well. They are some of the only people we are able to regularly meet with and they are so awesome. They also love us so that is fun. We read from the Book of Mormon with them and they have been reading and praying everyday this week. They are working hard to prepare for the temple!

Oh also for a young mens activity, Elder Talanoa taught us all how to clean up a chicken! They eat everything in Tonga. He said if you don't get the guts when they kill a cow or chicken in Tonga then you are missing out haha. So we ate to heart and the stomach and Elder Talanoa ate the "noodles" (intestines), that was a little too much for me though haha.

Other than that we have been doing a lot of door knocking and trying to find some people that are interested that we can teach. It is funny because now I kind of just expect people to drop off the face of the planet after we have these awesome lessons with them. Like Jarrett and Kristina we haven't had any contact with after some amazing lessons with them haha. But I am sure they will come around someday soon.

Things are going well though, can't complain! Hope everyone will have an awesome week and keep the commandments!

Love,
Elder Morgan
