Goat Vaccine Clinic!
Hi everyone
Since day light saving started yesterday it gets dark around 4 pm now. And in the one day we've had it people definitely use it to their advantage to avoid talking to us. Lots of "oh its too late sorry can't talk" then close the door. Then we look at the time and it’s 5:15 but it's pitch black.
This week we got to help vaccinate goats! There's a lady in our area we talked to and she said she could use some help vaccinating her goats! So this Saturday we went and helped. It took two of us to hold the goats still while she clipped their hooves and gave them shots. I even got kicked in the chest by one of the goats. Thankfully it was just a goat and nothing stronger haha. Goats are such weird animals.
Okay so story time
On the night of Halloween we couldn't go out; so me, Elder Morton and Elder Peterson were wrestling. At one point Elder Peterson got up and threw an Acorn squash at Elder Morton and they started to play catch with it. Elder Morton threw it back. I watched in slow motion as Elder Peterson didn't catch the squash and it slammed into the oven door and completely shattered it. It was one of the most awkward, funniest calls I've ever heard as they explained to the housing coordinator that they threw a squash at the oven door and shattered it. We called a billion appliance stores in Pasco and found a store that sold the piece of the oven that shattered so we bought the piece, fixed the oven and made the housing coordinator proud for being responsible and fixing the problem ourselves lol!
A cool experience we had this week happened while street contacting on a certain street and no one had answered or was interested. As we were driving away I got a really strong impression to knock on a house we had just driven by so we flipped the car around and knocked the door. We started talking and it turns out that their family has been talking about how they need to start going to church again and are looking for a church to go to! We are meeting with them on Tuesday (tomorrow). It has been really cool to see how the spirit can guide us all the time as long as we are listening to the prompting we get and if we remember that this is the Lord's work and always include him in it he will guide us to the people who need Jesus Christ’s help in their lives!
Love y’all
