Hey everyone!
So this week was pretty good, tons of rain, but good. When we woke up yesterday it was raining pretty hard, and it hasn't stopped since. And right now the rain is going sideways, the weather here is crazy. We had some training that we called into. it was about feeding the light and the dark wolves inside of you and making sure you're doing your best to feed the light wolf. So that was good, and it was stake conference for us on sunday. President Beesley spoke and he talked about the snake river. He was talking about how it's a calm enough river that it makes you think that when your river rafting it you could put down your paddle and lay down but if you don't pay attention you might drift off to the side and get stuck with all the drift wood, so you need to constantly be lightly paddling and making sure you dont drift off to the edge and get stuck. And he related that to life and how we need to constantly be checking where we are and not letting ourselves drift off and get stuck. Stake conference was good. Oh, and there's a summer worker here from Heber. He said that he was in uncle Burkes ward. His name is David Horne (I think that was his name), and he wanted me to say hi to uncle Burkes family for him.
The cruise ships started coming in, the carnival came in yesterday and another one came in today. I guess there's gonna be a new cruise ship everyday, I'm excited for that. The cruise ships are taller than the houses on my street, its pretty sweet. (Ashton's apt. is a block away from the port and on a hill) and we are allowed to make contact with the tourists coming off the ships. It was fun to do that when I was in Homer. So I found out that haircuts are at least 20 bucks here, so since we have some clippers in the apartment I decided to cut my own hair during lunch the other day. My hair's alot shorter than I wanted it to be though haha, I used these left ear and right ear attachments and I thought, "awesome I don't have to worry about messing up around my ears", so I used it, and I didn't pay attention to how short the attachments are, and they're pretty short, so I had to make the rest of my hair look normal with it. So now I have a short buzz haha. And as soon as I walked out to the car with all the rain and cold wind hitting my head I decided it was terrible timing to do that haircut haha. But hey, I saved 20 bucks! It's so nice to have a car and not have to bike around in the rain, my head would freeeeze if we didn't have the car! Oh and we went out to Saxman city last monday, it's the native village here, there are some sweet totem poles. It was a neat place. So that's the exciting news of the week hah.
We taught Kodie this week, we taught him about tithing and fast offerings. The lesson went really well. We had a kid from the ward join in the lesson and he shared some experiences about tithing and bore his testimony of it. Kodie says it all makes sense and he agrees with it. So that was good. He wasn't able to come to church though, he had to work. But he's been coming to wednesday night basketball. we do basketball every wednesday night and kids invite their non member friends and all that stuff, it's fun. Also, we set up a lesson with this guy named Archie, we met him tracting at the end of last transfer. We're teaching him today at 6. We're gonna teach him about the Book of Mormon and invite him to read it, it should go pretty good, I'm excited for it. We've been trying to set something up with him the past two weeks or so and we just haven't been able to catch him at home, but we tried again yesterday and he was home! He said it wasn't the best time but we could come back today, and we set up a time. He seems pretty interested, it'll be good. And we met with Willard, the native guy yesterday, he's still awesome. We shared a message out of ether 12:27, it was good. So that's basically the week, it was pretty good.
It sounds like your week was great there at home! That's pretty sweet that Brolin got a ukulele There's alot of missionaries that play the ukulele up here, and some of them are ridiculous. Keep it up Brolin and youll be amazing too! Averys 6 foot 4 now?! Oh my heck, how'd you get so tall, and why am I not taller then?! That's sweet that he had his prom, thats always fun, it looks like you had a fun group. And congrats on the win in tennis. And it sounds like the golf tourney was fun, that'd be nice if the weather here was like it is there haha. It sounds like everything's going pretty good down there, and everyone had a pretty good week. I hope this weeks just as good as last! Love you guys!
Love Elder Roney
