Hey everyone, sorry I didnt get to write last week, Tuesday was my mtc pday so I didnt get one last week, so theres that. Out here in the field my pday is Mondays, which is kinda nice having it right after Sunday.
So my last week in the mtc was a blast, I really loved the MTC. Including the food Chris, yes I did love it and I miss that a lot. I miss the mtc in general, I loved my district and I dont get to see them anymore cause we are all so far away from each other. The dream team (Me, ELder Snow and ELder
Deloach) finished strong, we played thirteen games in the last couple days and didnt lose any. It was in basketball so you know, and you can only do three on three or less. So we did and we dominated :). Ya the last couple days have been rough in the field cause for some reason I have felt really trunky and a little depressed, if im not thinking about home and missing home and all of you I just think about the mtc and i miss being there with everyone. It sucks haha. Oh well Ill get over it soon hopefully.
So guess where my first area is? A little podunk town in the middle of no where called Yerington Nevada. Its a little east of Carson City and about an hour away from everything. I havent grown to love it yet. Its not terrible, but I kinda wanted to stay in vegas cause it reminds me of arizona and I wouldve liked it. We are staying in a members home, the Allreds, they are nice. Its cool there tho cause my companion and I both got our own queen size bed haha. And a really nice bathroom too. My trainers name is Elder Ferguson, hes cool I like him. We get along really well. So now they are giving each companionship a phone so we got one of those and we got a car too.
So its a pretty humbling experience to be in Yerington, cause it has been closed for about a year. The mission president (being called and set apart with the keys and revelation over this mission) felt inspired to open the area back up, so my first area is one that my companion and I have to open up. He called us and talked to us for a bit when we got here and told us that, and that he trusts and has faith in us that we can make great things happen here. So who knows, so far its been going really well we have been really busy. And day after day we get tons of refferals from people. We've taught like 10 lessons already to people out here and they have all gone well. Theres a lot of nice and receptive people to teach. Also the ward mission leader and ward missionaries are really dedicated and hard working people. We have a feeling that things are going to explode here in Yerington. We are most likely going to have at least 3 baptisms this month, and i wouldnt be suprised if we had a few more than that. Its awesome :D.
And yeah my trainer said that its insane how much work we are getting in a small town like this, its pretty exciting.
About the pictures, sorry its taking so long I will be mailing them home soon.
Hmm what else.... Tell the animals I miss them. Only a little though. Ugh thinking of hooooome i miss it so much.
Well thats about all for today, until next week!
Love,
~Elder Lowder
