The Authority!

Ah, yes! Hello!

Elder Hamson here with another report about the rez life! This week has been a struggle because if you remember my iPad has got incognito and is no more. But, that is okay! I will be receiving one tomorrow, an everything will be back to normal. Or will it?

PLOT TWIST

Transfers is actually tomorrow! I will be staying on the reservation but, I will be picking up District Leader Responsibility and Training a new Elder! So, a lot of changes this transfer! It will be fun! Tomorrow I will go up to the Trainer Training Meeting and meet my new companion, Elder Youngstrom. Hopefully it will all go well but, I will keep ya'll informed! 

Anyway! This week was weird not having my usual iPad. It was hard to know what was going on and keep track of everything when your companion is the only one with an iPad. But, we seemed to manage fine, so that was good. The weather out here has been acting funny. It is monsoon season which means there is all of a sudden pouring rain out of nowhere in the middle of a hot day. Seriously every once and a while it is scorching hot going into a lesson and then pouring coming out of a lesson, times where it's hot and sunny all while pouring rain. It was awesome but, humid. Yesterday there was a crazy hail storm. It started as Thunder and lightning, then turned into this crazy storm that flooded the whole Reservation. There were quarter size hail chunks, no joke! Oh, c'mon. Why do you have a hard time believing this? But, seriously the hail was huge and I almost died but, I'm okay! 

As far as missionary work it was hard to meet with people because there was a lot of activities at the chapel this week. This branch is so small it doesn't have too many priesthood holders. So, as of church policy there needs to be to priesthood holders in the building if an activity is going on. Therefore, the missionaries end up needed to be involved in activities in order for them to happen. Anyway, that is just the struggle of reservation work. We had super good lessons with our less actives this week. I love the less actives in this branch. They are starting to come back to church too! So awesome!

Marcella as still doing super well and will be getting baptized on August 6th! I am excited that I will be here for that. On the same day one of our less actives is going through the temple! August is going to be sweet! This area has a bunch of potential and I feel like this next transfer is going to be so amazing. I will work harder this time cuz I got to be a good missionary to train my young friend (ah? ah? young?) Elder Youngstrom and District Leaderness. It is going to be legit so, pray for me. I'm praying for you so... It works out!

Love your guts! All of your guts!
