"Im so thankful for that blessing!!"

Well another week gone.. crazy... i was laying in my bed the other night and was talking to Elder Ostberg and was just like dang its already Sunday.. The week flew by!
It has been an alright week! Started off good. We met some really cool people on Tuesday met and 18 year old kid named Alex who seems really promising turns out we are teaching his whole family! Well his Mom, brothers, and sister his dad is in Canada but still its cool! It was super hot that day though just like walking in to an oven for a couple hours then right after that we had to take a honey extractor up to Russells to bro. Russell. And of course it had to start pouring rain... Well i got soaked just me i was putting the extractor back in the truck because someone else needed it in Mandeville well a guy helped me put it in the back of the truck then runs like a scared kitten to get out of the rain so i strapped it down and got soaked.. Well the next morning i woke up with a sore throat and it just kept getting worse i could barely swallow. The Smiths stopped by for a apartment check after our district meeting and i asked Elder Smith for a blessing. then we went to a couple of lessons and Elder Ostberg had to do all the talking i tried to say some but it was to painful. so we called sister Hendricks and she told me to go home and take some meds and get it bed. I had a fever of 100.4 i was burnin up. but the next morning i was feeling a hundred times better!! Im so thankful for that blessing!! We stayed in half the day Thursday and then we went back at it for the evening went and taught Alex and his family they are awesome! i was still scratchy but it went good. Then Friday we helped the Whiteheads take some pigs to some people they had like 12 in a crate in their truck and we had 6 in burlap bags in the back of ours haha it was hilarious i felt like a total red neck. when we got the pigs there they were panting and foaming at the mouth so we hauled them down to the pen and the told Brother Russell to get them some water. He was all no you cant give them water you have to let them cool off before you give them water or else they will freeze and die... Then he said you know its like your horses you let them stand and cool off for a while before you give them water... The you give them some oats and some Dragon Stout and then water... I was like what the world is this guy talking about when my horse is thirsty he drinks... and also Brother Russell my horse obeys the word of wisdom.. he wants the promises that the word of wisdom offers lol it was hilarious he just went on and on he is so full of it lol. The rest of the day was just Hectic we saw Alex again and got halfway through our lesson and he had to leave and go to work. then We went and saw Anna-kaye and her little sister is crazy just wouldnt be quiet during the lesson kept spitting water all over and it just ticked me off so Friday wasn't good. Saturday was similar most everyone we had planned to see blew us out so that sucked. And Sunday Church was awesome i have had some of the most spiritual meetings here in Santa Cruz. Just really good talks given and Sister Osbourne does an awesome job at teaching Sunday school. and well Priesthood is good when someone other than the teacher teaches.. But we didnt have any investigators at church so that was a bummer. But we had a good night we went and saw Lorett and her family and Monique focused alot on Monique because she hadn't been there the last time we taught the restoration. It was a good lesson. she shared some really cool spiritual experiences with us she seems really promising! and then we went and saw the Claytons Bro. Clayton is going to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood   next sunday and its District conference so thats awesome!!! our Melchizedek Priesthood is going to double woohoo! So thats awesome!! anyhow everything is going pretty good here! Its nice and hot but all is well!! 
Well i love you all!!
Love Stetson
