(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person can hope for,
I'll keep this one short. You know Napoleon Dynamite? I met
the old man who shoots the cow in front of the school bus this week. He was
driving along the road, and he stopped as we were walking and said hi, and
allowed us to take pictures. Definitely the highlight of the week. Also we had
a corona scare with one of the people we were teaching. We called him and he
was half asleep, and he said he tested positive for Corona. Since his kids are
basically tackling us during lessons (they are crazy kids! Those same kids
tried to beat me up this week! I have a few bruises from it today) we thought
for sure we had Corona, and we would have to be put in quarantine for a few
weeks. We did not want that. So, after a few calls to the mission president
wife and the person we were teaching's neighbors, we learned he did not have
Corona, and he was just tired, in a cranky mood, and didn't want us to come
over that day. Oops.
But other than that, it's been regular missionary work of
finding teaching and preparing for baptism. We have one kid named Chave who is
13 who is starting to progress. He's one of my favorite people we are teaching
right now. It's amazing to see his growth, as it's a testimony to me that the
gospel can change us, and help us to become better.
Just so you know, Elder Thompson did finish the 5 pound bag
of rice, but only barely. It was quite p'rice'y on my part, as I had to pay 5
dollars but worth it. But you guys have a nice week! (Or should I say
"rice" week! Ha)

1-2. I'm basically best buds with a famous person. I really
want to watch Napoleon Dynamite though now. I guess I'll have to wait a year
and a half though.
