Record Lows in MT

Apparently this is one of the worst winters they've had in a long time. The valley I'm in isn't supposed to go into the negatives but one day it was -20° WHICH IS COLD. We two Arizona boys decided to walk to the gas station across the street that day to see what the cold felt like. My face was burning let me tell you. I used my beanie to cover my face as I was walking and ran into a trash can because I couldn't see. BUT then it got warm, like up to the 30s and low 40s, it felt like AZ a little. Made me happy. 

Christmas was fun! It actually wasn't that emo away from the fam. We hung out with the other missionaries for a bit and decorated cookies. Oh I thrifted an ugly Christmas sweater, and we also ate at the Bishop’s mom’s house for dinner, it was so fancy. Some of the properties here are insane man, like super nice houses in the middle of a picture-perfect mountain/forest scene. 

It was a slow week teaching-wise. Everyone was busy but we did get some work in. We started meeting with Alyssa, she’s dope. She was watching Miraculous Ladybug in the background. We have a baptism on the 7^th, Caleb, he’s a cool guy. We met his fam and his mom made us the best horchata. There are some amazing families here that I already love so much. It’s honestly fun, I can’t lie. I’m getting used to everything, I think. 

I get annoyed when people tell me the mission will fly by because it doesn't feel like it will, and 24 months is a lot, but I’m starting to understand why they say that. This week is the halfway mark of my first transfer, kinda wild. Doesn't seem like I’ve been here long at all. Well I really haven't, but you know what I mean. 

I think that’s it, nothing crazy is happening so far. Oh at dinner I was talking to Bishop and he was in scientific research for a long time and I’m entertaining going that direction so we had a really good convo about that line of work and how it all fits together. It sounds dope, he’s a smart dude.

Also most of these pics are from a digital camera that my grandpa sent me, thank you grandpa you're a beast

 Also the dogs chase you while your diving here like in the movies, and look at that cat, he has extra toes

Love you bye
