it! Hahahaha they are funny they just keep telling me welcome to
nowhere! Hahaha
Walking is the best I missed walking and we have been working our
butts off! So my companion is Elder Duley from Oregon he is a cool
dude. He doesn't know too much about the area so we have been figuring
out things together. We have missed a couple buses and have gotten
lost once or twice but it's been fun. So the walk Elders used to rely
heavy on the drive Elders for rides but we now have sisters as the
drive missionaries so we can no longer get rides with them. So it has
been an adventure getting to church and getting wifi. Hahaha but
J-town is great.
So there is an old man in the ward that needs us to help him each week
and then he takes us to dinner. Well I walk into his house and see an
old mandolin and so I asked if he could teach me some and so he
proceeded to teach me how to play a little of the mandolin and then he
proceeded to give me an extra mandolin he owned and said take it, and
practice and you can keep it! So I am now teaching myself the
mandolin!! Hahaha
My first dinner here I went over to a house and the wife said she is
from Fremont and I laughed and said I am from Brentwood and then she
asked if I know the Taylors and I laughed even harder and she just
looked at me like I was crazy! Hahah then I explained that McKenna is
my best friend and she started freaking out. So it was cool to meet
her!
General Conference was amazing! We had to take a bus and get off on a
highway and then walk 2 miles uphill to get to the church so it was
quite the adventure on Saturday. On Sunday we got to enjoy Conference
from a members home named the Wingards and it was great to be in a
home again to watch Conference instead of at the church building!
Other than that nothing much has happened. We are just working hard
trying to learn the area and where we are going!
Love and miss you all hope you have a great week!
Elder Swisher
