another week

Hey everyone!

   So this weeks been pretty eventful haha. So Monday was alright, didnt get to do a whole lot of stuff. So we went sight seeing after I sent you last weeks email, then on the way back when we were driving on the highway the day turned no good. We got in a crash on the highway, so we were driving back from a waterfall and the guy in front of us slammed on his brakes for no reason at all, and we didnt really have any time to stop and we slammed into the back of his truck. There wasnt even a turn off or anything and he slammed on his brakes! Elder Satini was driving, and no one was hurt. So  that kind of limited what we could do that day, and we were out of service range when we got in the crash, and the other guys truck was fine so he gave us a ride to where we had service, which was like 3 miles towards town and we got everything sorted out there. So from there we called a member to come pick us up after the tow truck came by. And we pretty much sat in the apartment until we had to go to dinner. So weve been walking around town in the rain and up and down the hills and lots of stairs since then. Ill send pictures of the car, all the damage was to our car, none to the guys truck.
 
Then on Friday we got to go over to Metlakatla and we got back yesterday. It was pretty cool over there, alot less hills over there. And we got there by a float plane, it was awesome! Super pretty flight. And Metlakatla is an indian reservation for the natives, it was fun. We met some crazy people over there. One guy was like "see those two purple mountains? in between there is the best water in the world! Those two purple mountains(voice fading quieter when he says mountains) We have the best water in the entire world! Its even better than the... ummm, Oil! and, what do you call it? ...oh yea, and even better than gasoline! But we cant make it so we cant sell it, but its the best water Ever! Do you guys want a pop? But its the best, but remember, supersonics! Dont forget supersonics, theyre not around anymore but remember them. Are you sure you guys dont want a pop? And remember Metlakatla, and move back here after your missions!" haha it was pretty funny. But theres lots of work to do over there, we were pretty much just contacting people the missionaries over there in the past taught and found out if they still want to be taught, and we have a few people that still want to be taught, so next time were over there were gonna have some lessons with them. We didnt get to do as much because of general conference, but for how many people answered their doors in the time that we had we had some good success. And the church building was tiny! Ill send pictures of Metlakatla and the flight.  And I took pictures of the prices of milk and cheerios in metlakatla, ridiculous.
 
  And general conference was great! we watched it with the member who we stayed with. And priesthood session was interesting, we used the polycom(conference call) and listened to priesthood session that was happening here in Ketchikan. There were only 3 of us that went and listened in, me, elder satini, and one other guy haha. Metlakatlas a cool place, I hope I get to go back soon. And were borrowing some bikes from ward members so we can actually get around easier. So this weeks been pretty eventful.  
 
It sounds like you all had a pretty good week. Thats awesome that Tannons going to Spain! That would be an awesome place to go to! Congrats to him! Its crazy how much things are changing and how many people are leaving on their missions and getting back. And it sounds like you guys had fun in St.George, in the 80 degree weather! It was cold windy snowy and rainy here so enjoy that weather! Oh and guess what?! The sun comes up at about 7 now! I love the sun so much when its out. Anyways, I hope you guys have a sunny, warm, and wonderful week!

Love Elder Roney
