Pigs and Bugs

Well one night we were biking home and we saw a bunch of strange creatures. We got off our bikes to figure out what they were and it turns out it was a bunch of wild pigs. And this week we have also been fighting the bugs all the time. It seems like we are putting on bug spray every hour. 😂 It was also transfers this week and I got a new companion. His name is elder Reese. He has been out for about a year. He is from North Ogden and went to Weber High but moved there his freshman year and grew up in Kansas City. We are getting along well and it's been lots of fun.  It's been kind of different having a new perspective and doing everything differently.  

We ate dinner at a members house today and it was a carne!  Basically it's a Mexican BBQ.  They cooked steak and sausage on the grill.  When we sat down to eat I realized that there was no silverware!  So I wasn't sure what to do but then I noticed everyone was just tearing it up with their hands and putting it onto the tortilla.  For all those people out there (Jared) that use there fingers this is the place to be!!  It was super good by the way!

So the moral of this week is to always follow the spirit.  We had about 20 minutes left with nothing to do so we both felt that we needed to go back by the apartment and knock some doors there.  As we were going we both were kind of weary about it to be headed back so soon.  We went and knocked on a door and then as we got on our bikes with 3 minutes left in the day I had the distinct impression to go to a certain door.  When we got to the house we knocked twice and they came to the window looked out at us locked the door then walked away.  Right then a truck pulled up to the apartment.  As we were getting on our bikes the guy rolled down his window to talk to us.  It started with small talk and then he started talking about how he was a biker and was super into it and has tons of stuff for it.  Then the subject got brought up to work and how his family is.  Turns out his son (12) just got through suffering from brain cancer.  The guy opened up to us and we were instantly able to talk to him about the plan that God has for all of us on this earth.  It was a super awesome experience and as I look back on it if we hadn't have left when we did we would have missed him.  Always listen to the spirit no matter what.
