Hiking

Quotes from this week!

``Elder Crockett. You have a transfer! You are going to Osorno!´´
´´Really! Whose my new companion?``

``You new companion is Sister Flores.´´

So this week was awesome! We actually do have transfers but i am staying here in Aysen. And my new companion is named Elder Dominguez. He`s kind of ew only has a couple of months in the mission so no one knows anything about him. But this week i shall find out more about him!

Also this week we baptized one of our investigators. And i got to give them the Gift of the Holy ghost, and that was an incredible feeling. With how powerful the spirit was when i gave the blessing it was undeniable for anybody to not know for a fact this this is Gods only true church in the world. It was an awesome experience.

P.s. My investigators name is Micheal Jordan hahaha the Elder who did the baptism interview is a huge basketball guy and so all week long hes been calling me. saying ``I cant believe you guys baptized someone named Micheal Jordan. He is probably the coolest member we have here in the South hahaha He is actually pretty legit. Id send you pictures but the sister missionaries are borrowing my camera right now.

another Quote from this week

``Let me get this straight Elder Crockett, you Elders walk all week long, and on your only free day when you can do just about anything you want, you all decide to go Hiking?``

So Hiking today was awesome. There wasnt a path and so it was pretty much wandering around in the Forest with the hopes of finding a place to take cool pics. But shoot it was probably the hardest day hike that i have ever done in my entire life. It would be one thing if it was just bushwhacking, but it was more junglewhacking because it was pretty much all waist high wet plants. But there was one part when we were in a relatively dangerous spot where it was really steep and really wet and we werent sure how we would be able the get down. 

 

And there was a group of missionaries who wanted to keep going, and another group who all had a bad feeling, and thought that we needed to turn around and go home. And our zone leader said that we should pray to know what to do. And all the missionaries who wanted to keep going started to give the other missionaries a hard time and everyone was fighting, while i was there sitting down taking a drink when i knew i needed to step in. 

 

So i stand up and say ``Elders lets start thinking. This is clearly dangerous. and the only ones of you not willing to ask God what we should do are the ones who want to continue up the idiotically dangerous path Because you know that God is going to tell you that You are wrong and that we need to go back.`` And then all of them got really quiet and all started looking down at their feet. everyone then stopped yelling at each other we ate lunch and then climbed back down the mountain. And we messed around the whole way down, and so there was no one mad at each other, so thats good haha. It was a pretty awesome hike actually i loved it. 

 

So i built a greenhouse this week. Its was actually pretty awesome. I was really the only person tall enough the hammer the parts together. My arm was sop dang sore by the end of that service project. To make it better it was totally raining the whole time. that was fun haha but for real it was pretty awesome i totally plan on building my own green house some day. Im going to do it a little different from the one i built the other day but it was still pretty awesome.

Welps love you all keep me posted!
