So Im going to have to keep this email shorter today, sorry. We're meeting up with a member who's going to take us to his mining camp way out of town. We're meeting with him at noon and having lunch at a restaurant then going to his camp. Yesterday he said that we're going to be doing gold panning and all that fun stuff. Then he's taking us out to dinner tonight to a pizza place that we never really eat at very often because its too expensive for our budget haha. The 4th of July was good though, they had some fun stuff happen down town. They had a parade, then once the parade finished (in like 20 minutes) they had a bunch of street games. They had bike races, foot races and a slowest bike race, where the person who finished last won, haha. The 73 years and older foot race was pretty awesome. There was this old miner guy that we see around town all the time who ran in it. He has this giant beard that goes down to his belly, big old thick rim glasses & he was all decked out in red and white striped everything and a baseball cap. I definitely should of gotten a picture with him, it was pretty awesome.
We were able to find a new investigator this week, she's actually a former investigators wife. We were going to go see if the former investigator was still interested and while we were there his wife wanted to learn. So we taught her about the restoration and gave her a book of mormon, she also told us that she's been thinking about being baptized for a while but hasn't decided which church to join. We invited her to be baptized and she said yes, haha it was pretty sweet.
We stopped by Angelas house this week and taught her about the importance of coming to church and she a said that she would try to make it to church. Unfortunately she wasn't able to make it. We stopped by yesterday after church but no one was home. Hopefully she comes to church next week. And we'll definitely suggest those substitutions to Angela. When we stopped by the other day she told us that she's doing super good on quitting smoking. She said that it took her 4 days to smoke one pack of cigarettes where before she was doing almost a pack a day. So she's doing really good.
We have another trip to Teller scheduled for this Wednesday, I'm excited for it. I really like going to Teller, even though it takes 2 hours to get there. And yes, Teller is that little town where there's only 1 member and it's impossible to get there by car during the winter. I'm not sure exactly how Willies (a new investisgator) gonna be able to make it to church, he might have to call into church with the member out there and take the sacrament at the members home. Otherwise church is going to be a very big challenge.
Well I'm glad everyone had a good week and fourth of July! I hope you have an awesome week and I love you guys!
Love Elder Ashton Roney
