This week seems to have gone by pretty fast. 

We got to go and do cows with Rod, one of Elder Cox's non-members that he knew that was just out-side of our zone. That was really fun all that we did was move them to another field. Since we were there we helped him get about 4 cows up the shoot. One of them had to have a calf pulled, and the other three just had to be milked out a little bit because the calves couldn't suck them. He fed us all lunch which was some pizza that they bought and popped into the oven. They asked us if we needed a glass of water and I was one of them that said yes. I got a nice full cup of water, I was so thirsty. When I was looking into the cup about to take a sip I saw a little black something that was floating on the top of my water. I thought, "Oh it's just a floaty" and so I pulled it out and that was when I realized that it was a mouse turd.. I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to offend the family and so I said a prayer in my heart and drank it.. Sorry Mom if this freaks you out, don't have any bad dreams. I am still alive and not sick and so I know that my prayer was answered haha. 

Finola is getting kicked out of her house but the house that she has looked for and is applying for is still in our ward and so we hope that that is the house she will end up getting. Lee her boyfriend is back with her now, I didn't think that it would be possible that they could be together still but they are. I guess we will see what happens to them this week. 

We were able to get Keely on date for baptism on May 6th. She has been wanting her husband to baptize her but he will not be able to for the next 6th month because of past transgressions. But she said that it doesn't really matter and that she wants her water to be clean. She said I don't want someone dirty getting into my water. When she said that we all laughed, It's crazy how smart and solid she is. I am really looking forward to the next lesson with her, it is always good. 

Today we went to Running on Stone which reminded me of Fantasy Canyon and Goblin Valley a bit. It was really fun, we went as a zone, we left this morning at 8 and went down to almost Montana and made it back around 12:30.
