Tiwi

Hello!

Welcome to another broadcast of Elder Hamson Adventures Show! This
week on the program we get to hear some words from The Elder himself!
These tales are from his personal experience in the mission field
serving his fellow men. Without further introduction: Elder Hamson!

Why thank you, it is good to be here to talk to you today. To start
off on the service side of this week, we help out the senior center in
our area. I vacuumed and moved in boxes of tuna and boxes of macaroni.
It was a good service but, what we did after that was an adventure!
We had a member who wanted help on her ranch and so we agree and we
followed her. She took us out to the middle of nowhere through this
rocky sketchy trail to her ranch house thing. It was exciting! It was
just like four wheeling on trails in southern Utah. That is how rough
that road was. Because of my tactical four wheeling skills we scaled
mountains and boulders and survived. So, that was interesting! The
rest of the serving we did was a bunch of weeding but, it has been
rainy off and on so the weeds were super easy.

So, a side story for y'all. Our Tiwi box has been broken for a month
now. That is a system connected to our car that tracts and improves
our driving behavior. So, it will warn us when we are speeding and
when we are driving too aggressively. It's not too bad, I feel like it
has helped me to avoid speeding tickets. But, anyway we had to drive
to a town called Heber about 30 mins out. And I got to see pine trees
for the first time in two and a half months! I miss trees, there ain't
much green out here. Haha anyway, we meet up with this guy he installs
the Tiwi and he did his thing and left before we could talk to him
much. So, we switch drivers because I had my fun driving down but, now
we are for real. We have a Tiwi that is watching us now. Elder
Robinson gets in starts the car and we drive off. Before we even leave
the parking lot it barks "No driver!" So, Elder Robinson lets a big
sigh out and said something like "Good to see you too Tiwi, I missed
ya," and we don't get 5 minutes down the road and it barks "Check your
speed!" I laughed so hard, I thought it was the funniest thing. I
don't think Elder Robinson was amused but, it was pretty funny because
he is usually top of the line driver. Anyway, long, useless, story.
YOU'RE WELCOME!

We found three new investigators this week! Joe, sage, and tony! I am
so excited! We did SO many finding activities and prayed super hard
and we now found some. It's amazing that you can find something out of
nothing if you show your faith that it could happen. People always say
"It must be difficult for you guys to find people to teach with such a
high percentage of Mormons around here." I always smile and think to
myself "I find your lack of faith disturbing," or "O, ye of little
faith," and reply with something like: "what you give is what you
get." It was just something I always said. But, it is so true! No
matter what mission you are in, it is the same work, and the same
struggle. No matter what the challenges may be for that mission, that
mission, and that companion are tailor made for your experience. They
are prepared to help you learn and grow the most. That is what I have
realized this week. That progression and self improvement is the mana
of life and happiness! God blesses us for making an honest effort to
improve.

I love you all and stay strong my friends!
Elder Hamson
