A Funny Thing Happened...

Well, there’s nothing more to report since I talked to you on Sunday, but since you told me to send some funny things that have happened out here I’ll do that.

Once, Elder Weiland and I were looking for a less-active person’s house and could not find it. So we pulled over to a member’s home and asked him where this guy lived, and here are the directions he gave.

"You'll go down Bitter Creek, in a South Direction...


...You'll pass a head of 70 cattle...


...then a head of 40 cattle.

Then go east...

...on the road with the pine trees...

... and it'll be there. If you pass a head of 50 cattle...

...you've gone too far."

All I could say was....."Sweet! -got it", even though I really didn't. [note-soon after that Elder Evans asked me to send him his GPS... :D]

Another time we were teaching an investigator and she was drunk. Flat-out smashed!! She told us to come back and have a party with her and her girlfriends. “We'll have drinks, music, I can leave the guest room open.....etc.” It was so funny. And, no, we didn't go, incase anyone is wondering. :D

The most embarrassing thing that has happened to me on my mission was that I was giving a talk in Church and I was talking about Ammon...

...and how the King told him to live there and he would give him a daughter to wife. And after I read that scripture I said, "As missionaries, we would love that", meaning we’d love to stay in an area for a long time, but the ward thought I meant that we wanted their daughters to wife! It was pretty funny. :D

You asked about the older couple that we live with and what I like best about Star Valley. We live with the Reinharts, and yeah we like them, and we do everything for them, but we just found out YESTERDAY that we’ll be moving to Fairview to stay with a single old man. Some of the things I like about Star Valley are the people, the open spaces, and the way-nice weather (now that winter is over, anyways).

We didn't have any lessons this week. We were going to but they didn't read the chapter in the Book of Mormon that we asked them to, and that chapter would cover all of what we were going to talk about. So instead we just talked with them, and really got to know them. It was pretty sweet, made them open way up, so hopefully that will help in the future. :D

Anyways, that's all I got. I wish I had more, but since I just talked to you....I'm out. :D

Well, I love you guys. Stay safe.

Love,
Elder Evans the 4th.
