      This week started out like any other week, but then we got a call from other missionaries that they needed help with some service, but they didn't tell us what it was, so we went. We put the address into google maps and it brought us to a literal mountain and said the house was near the top, so we had to walk up one of the steepest hills of my life. Once we finally got up there the elders looked at us with an evil grin and we knew we were in for a fun time. We saw a giant pile of sand at the top of an even steeper hill with 2 buckets with sleds on the bottom of them with rope connected to them and a bunch of tarps, so I had no idea what was gonna happen haha. We ended up having to put sand in the buckets and drag the buckets down the mountain with the ropes, putting the sand in a tarp and carrying the tarp on the side of the mountain to the ladies house where there was another tarp. While this was happening the lady was trying to make sure the evil...

     These 2 weeks were both awful and pretty cool. They were awful because I got super sick last week and sick days on the mission are not fun. At home you can sleep and watch tv and do whatever, but on the mission, you're just trapped in the house calling people all day long... not fun. But it was pretty cool because we baptized 2 people.      The first person we baptized is named William and he's 10 years old and he was kind of frustrating to teach because he had infinite energy and likes to punch and kick and head butt us. He didn't really think he needed to learn because his older brother is a member, so he already wanted to be baptized. There was one lesson where we taught him who Joseph Smith was probably 20 times because we asked him who he was 20 times and he didn't know haha. We felt super bad though because the water heater didn't work for the baptismal font, so the water was freezing and he was shivering really bad. But he's baptized...
