Meth Hillbillies

Hello friends and Family

I heard a funny phrase the other day. It was "Meth Hillbillies" so I decided to name my email that.

We had a Baptism! It was super spiritual and I got to perform the ordinance. It was a boy who has a bunch of people he knows in church. He started attending and so we started teaching him. He doesn't have a very supportive family and so now the church is his family I guess.

We had to clean up the Baptismal font. There were a ton of roaches in there. We had to flush them out and pour chemicals down the drains so they didn't surface. It was gross/fun.

A member does glassblowing and so we got our names engraved on some glass mugs. I will try to get a picture for next time. I love drinking mugs.

Other fun shenanigans include these things called "Tarantula hawks". They aren't birds nor tarantulas. They are wasps. Really big ones. They are black with some cool looking red tinted wings, and they are huge. They hunt tarantulas and our chapel is infested with them. It is very horrifying/awesome.

We had a storm last week. It rained all around us but never on us. There was a ton of lightning. And because of science and other such things apparently the rain made it so a swarm of grasshoppers have now infested Needles. There are a ton here. Walking down the street makes it so they all jump out at once and I feel like some kind of grasshopper wizard, because if you walk with your arms outstretched it looks like you are calling a bunch if grasshoppers out of the sand.
I just learned that there are a swarm of grasshoppers in Las Vegas too. They have been swarming to the Mirage on the strip so tourists are getting wrecked by bugs.

I have been extra tired this week. I have to make a bunch of phone calls and set up our meetings and whatnot and it just adds on stuff to do. It is not bad... I just get tired faster.

We have to clean out the font again this week too. We have another round of Baptisms this Saturday....

Well... that is all for now.

I'll talk to y'all later
