6/27/11

Alrighty, so this week was alright. Wednesday morning I woke up with a little bit of a cough so I took a shower and rested for a little bit and I was fine after that. This week has been real hot out. A member in the ward have me a water backpack so that really helped out a lot. But the little back pack that it comes in is too small to fit anything else in it. So I cant carry any book of Mormons or my scriptures or anything like that. So I've been trying to find a way to put the water bladder in my back pack that wont make it hard to use the straw thing.
So something really cool happened yesterday. We were talking with our ward mission leader and he said that there's someone in the ward that we can baptize. This family moved into the ward like a month or two ago. We started teaching the kids cuz they had just been baptized in January. The grandma lives with them and we assumed that everybody in the family was members. They came from Utah and the parents are members (I think they are just recently coming back to activity though) and all the kids who are baptismal age are already baptized so we assumed the grandma was too. But she was talking to bishop and she thought she was a member but when they requested her records nothing came up. So She actually isn't a member . She is getting surgery on the 11th so we'll teach her all the lessons in the next two weeks and she'll get baptized on the 9th. Its pretty sweet cuz we haven't had a baptism here yet. Everyone in the ward always tells us about how they had like 12 baptisms last year. But there is only one person that is still there. Everyone else has gone inactive or moved away.
So this morning we wake up and we hear this weird chirping and rustling outside the window. We look out there and there was a little baby bird stuck in the window well. It couldn't fly yet so it was trying to get out but it couldn't. The member we are living with gave us some gloves so I climbed down there and eventually got the bird out of there. It kept flapping around so I couldn't get it for a little while. I didn't want to just grab it cuz I didn't want to crush it or something. But its out now. It was weird cuz at first I thought it was a squirrel. Cuz on Saturday we were tracting and we heard this really weird noise. We thought it was a bird but it was two squirrels like yelling at each other. It was kinda like the sound Brian Regan makes for the rabbit impression.
Anyways have you guys had any luck finding my watch stuff? It should be that hard to find. I'm pretty sure I gave it to dad with the stuff for my razor. If not it should be in the smaller box that I left before I left.
Well that's pretty much it for now. Hope you all are doing well.
Love Elder Butler
