Elder Dittmers Journey to New Mexico

Ya'at'eh! This week has been pretty good, but the past few days have been quite slow. One of the mission rules is that we can't enter into someone's house without a third male over 18 years old, and I've been in a trio visiting women pretty much the whole time. It's been a little rough trying to get into lessons without a third male. Hopefully we can get the ward more involved.

Me and Elder Oftedahl are getting along really well. Something I've noticed about him is that he pluralizes almost everything, which makes sense because the natives here do that all the time.

When we were about to get out of the truck to knock on a potential investigator's house, we saw this zombie dog that was super gross. It had weird gums that drooped a lot and the drool was bloody. Elder Oftedahl was tempted to end it's misery with the truck, but he was afraid that it would ruin the truck. Instead, we avoided it and went to someone else's home instead. It was that bad!

We helped somebody move a super-heavy water tank from one truck to another because the one truck had a flat tire. It took a while, and it was really difficult, but eventually we managed to get it over to the other truck. We met with them afterwards and shared Light the World with them. 

I've been reading some interesting Bible stories in 2nd Kings. There's one about the prophet making an axe-head float in the water, which is really interesting and is a good story to explain what a prophet has the power to do. It's in 2nd Kings 4:4-7. I recommend reading it!

I was able to hang up a picture of a snowman on our laundry room door. The only other people who can see this is Elder and Sister Aylworth.

I took a couple of pictures of Elder Oftedahl. He really likes the Tacoma.

Thanks for reading!

We have been trying to meet with Tina, but so far haven't been able to yet. I only have one companion now! That's why it's been tough to meet with Tina. Hopefully Brother Gibson will be able to make it to our next appointment.

Yes, K-town is pretty cold now.
