Agua-Te Big Mess!

(Elder Slade)


To the best friends and family a person can hope for!
Not a very interesting week. A few highlights: I found a new license plate! I'm not sure if I've told you, but I've been making a list of the different state license plates I've seen while here in Idaho. Eventually I want all 50. Today we found Wisconsin! Only 12 left to go! If any of you see a Hawaii license plate in Rexburg, let me know! We also were given a 5 pound bag of French Fries. The blessings of living in potato central.
The title came from something I said. We were texting this one guy to see if we could meet with him. He's a farmer, and so he's super busy right now. He said he couldn't meet, "He was changing the water." What does that mean?! I'm not a farmer?! The response I wanted to send was "Wow. That sounds like it could be agua-te (a great) big mess!" I lost it after that. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Elder Baron just thought I was being stupid, which looking back on it, I probably was.
But the real highlight this week was hearing that we could now have 50 people at a baptism. So Jessie and Jill set a new date to get baptized: June 6th, this Saturday! Let's gooooo!! I'm so excited. They are the kindest, sweetest people. Now I'm just going to have to figure out how to set up a baptism, because neither Elder Baron or I really know what we are doing. It'll work out though. Watching the Boughs progress had taught me that there is no reason to fear anything. (Or should I say, there's no reaon to be frie-tened! Ha!) The Boughs were a little bit timid at first to have us teach them, but as they came to see how their lives changed, they didn't need to fear anymore. They had family that might have not liked their decision, and they had to change their life styles, but as they relied on Jesus Christ, they were able to get through all the things that the adversary threw at them. I know, and they know, that this is the path that they needed to take, despite any roadblocks they encountered. There's been miracles in their lives to discount that fact.
I love you all! I Idaho-pe you are doing well!
Pictures (Sorry. Really not many at all. I'll do better this week!)
