Hello Friends and Family
I have pictures this time
Oh boy this week was interesting. One of the pictures I have is a selfie of me and Elder Ficklin. You can't really tell, but the two cars in the back are cop cars.
Story time
Elder Ficklin and I were tracting up a street and stopping by members we don't know and basically just finding out if they are active or not. We go to this one house that says they are Members and we knock. The door flies open as soon as we do, and this dude covered in piercings opens the door and looks wide eyed straight at us like we just committed a felony. We ask him "How is it going?" And he looked shocked and said "TERRIBLE!" Really loudly. We told him that is unfortunate and we asked if we could do anything. He was shocked again and this time with a hint of annoyance shouted "NO". We then asked if one of the members was around, and he said "Nobody here is members!" Even though I can see a picture of the general authorities on the wall behind him. Well, we see this guys mom. She like peeks her head out and then sort of...runs away back down the hall. Well, we finish up the conversation and head out because he was not happy and she ran away. We kept knocking and then we hear a garage door open. And then a car pulls out. And then we hear the guy yelling "MOM! MOM WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" And he starts banging his fists on her window. Well, she drives away and he runs back inside, and the next thing we know the cops showed up. So we took a selfie with them in the back.
We went on a hike this morning. Well, a bike ride and then a hike. There were some cave things and that was fun. We took some pictures.
The other day a lizard go in our house. It was on my desk and I took a picture of it. We set it outside. And it ran off. We have been seeing a ton of lizards lately.
I have one picture of a half burnt notebook from some poor sods English class. He forgot to burn it all the way. I was reading some of it.
We have met a lot of cool people lately. People have been prepared for some Gospel Goodness.
Elder Ficklin is a military brat, so for doctor visits and such he goes to an air force base. So yesterday, we went to Nellis Air Force Base. It was fun. I got to see the real Las Vegas. Everything is super ghetto. Actual ghetto. I saw a Little Caesars next to a liquor store and the walls looked like they were about to fall own and they were grimy. It was fun!
So here is a cool scripture
Alma 13
13 And now, my brethren, I would that he should humble yourselves before God, and bring forth fruit meet for repentance, that ye may also enter into that rest.
I have had to remember sometimes that humility is key to doing the will of God, as well as meekness. Meekness is different from humility in the sense that a meek person is teachable and willing to learn from someone else, while a humble submits to our Father's will, because He knows it is better than his own.
That is something I have been reminded of lately.
Anyways...Love Y'all, this as a shorter email but I have more pictures. It's been fun. Love you bye

One of the families we are working with have a lizard and so they asked us to feed them today while they are out of town. I also got myself a little chess set for about 5 bucks. Worth it.
