Dear Family and Friends,

This week was interesting to say the least. For the majority of the week, Elder Sjoblom and I fought an uphill battle against the nightly sporting events on TV and he captured it perfectly with, “I’m just so sick of competing with the NFL on Sundays.”[1] I’m praying that the Royals and the Chiefs lose soon so people will be humbled and find out that you can pray to God any time, not just when you need a field goal or a homerun.[2]

Besides our fight for primetime each night, we had some fun experiences this week. We headed out to Amazonia, Missouri, population of 312 for dinner one night and we reveled hardcore in the Boonies. We had sloppy joes[3], held pythons, lit a ridiculous bonfire, and got our car mighty dusty. Also, on the list of things that were out of this world, was when Elder Sjoblom and I followed a sweet Baptist we contacted on the street up the hill to drag a dying cat out of the bloody jaws of a neighbor’s pitbull[4]. You never know what’s going to happen as a missionary.

We’ve received a couple of sweet referrals this week and the work is looking like it’s going to progress soon. I’ll let you know what happens next week. Make it a great week.

Mucho amor,[5]
