Chapter 2: Siler City North Carolina (Week 5)

And it came to pass in the fifth week of the first transfer we got kicked out of Circle K.

We also got kicked out of the Walmart parking lot last week. I think I forgot to mention that. I don't think it was someone we talked to that complained either because one of the things that the worker mentioned was giving out cards. We split up and I'm the only one that carries cards with me and I only gave out one and that person left after I gave them the card so unless they called Walmart after they left someone must've seen me hand out a card and complained about it for some reason.

We had a branch trunk or treat combined with the other 2 wards that meet at the same building which was fun. Elder Walker and I switched name tags for our costume.

Halloween happened. We had to be back by 7pm. We did weekly planning and then had a sleep over with the Elders that was a blast. We played forbidden island! I haven't played that in a very long time.

One of our main service things besides the goat farm is wood cutting. One of our members has tons of fallen tress from flooding and the hurricane a few years back so we help chop up trees into firewood.

Yesterday was fast Sunday and for those of you that don't know what that means it's when we fast which means to not eat or drink for a period of time usually 2 meals. Anyways, for a fast Sunday it was really long. Like an extra hour long

This coming week is marathon week which means my next Pday is a week from Wednesday. I'll find out if I'm getting transferred on Tuesday then Wednesday is Pday so that those who are getting transferred can pack then Thursday is transfers. I doubt I'll get transferred because I'm in training.

Love y'all lots!

And thus ended the fifth week of the first transfer

Church History Museum Visit

My mom and I made this collage for a scout requirement. My mom accidentally put the wrong year on the picture. These pictures are actually from our trip to Utah last December. It was 2015. For scouts I need to write about how this experience helped me feel reverent or helped me better understand my duty to God. It helped me feel reverent because it has historical and religious stuff and only historical and religious stuff. And modern day religious stuff. One example was a replica of the golden plates. We got to lift it to see how heavy they were. They said it was 50 pounds and it was REALLY heavy! Also, I got to see a video that had my Grandma Lynn in it. It was about the early members of the church who were trying to decide who the next prophet should be after Joseph Smith died. Several people had a really strong spiritual experience when Brigham Young began to talk to them and the Holy Ghost helped them know that Brigham Young should be their next prophet. We also went ...

First Week of Home School

On Monday we started home school, On Wednesday at home school I finished a really good book called The Best in the West . It is very interesting. There is an almost eight foot bear in the book! The other book I have read this week is The Tale of Peter Rabbit . It is on my Battle of the Books list. My favorite topic this week has been math. One of the things I learned in math is the hyphen. You don't use a hyphen in numbers one-twenty or in numbers ending in zero. (Because those are whole numbers.) But you do use a hyphen in numbers like twenty-one. I have finished lesson 51. I did all of those lessons plus several quizzes. We went on a walk and saw salmon. They are getting ready to lay eggs and die. They were flopping a lot and fighting over who gets to be in the exact spot where they were born. I got to shoot a BB gun for science. We learned about inertia. We were doing science by shooting the BB gun at a can to see...

A Story From When I was LIttle and Other Stuff

Recently I have been interested in hearing stories about when I was little. One of my favorite stories that Mom told me was about when Ammon and I were little and we would hog the bed. She said that I would come get in her bed over and over again. Dad would carry me back to my own bed, but I would always come back. She said that even though I was small, I would take up ALL the space. Somehow I could make my arms sprawl all over the queen sized bed so there was hardly any room left. When Ammon also tried to get into Mom and Dad's bed it was even worse. Sometimes Dad would just give up on having room and he would go sleep on the couch for the rest of the night. Right now I live in Craig, Alaska on Prince of Wales Island. All of my cousins are in Utah and all of my grandparents are also in Utah. I miss them and am going to visit them in just a few weeks for my baptism. I am inviting all of my cousins, grandmas and grandpas and maybe some of my uncles and one or two aunts. I already ...
