Preparation day Cinco de Mayo! Halfway through home MTC!

Elder Johnson loves the outdoors and so we decided that every preparation day, we would go up to vedauwoo and go on an adventure.  Last p-day we hiked in vedauwoo (pictures to come) and it was probably the most beautiful day we have ever seen up there.  It had just snowed the night before, but as the morning progressed the snow began to melt and there were waterfalls coming off of the rocks everywhere.  The sky was crystal clear, the air was still, clean and fresh.  The sound of water falling off the rocks, the gurgling, bubbling and splashing made for a magnificent experience with Elder Johnson.  

This p-day, we decided to bring our bikes to vedauwoo and because it had snowed again, we enjoyed riding through the snow covered path.  We found some hidden gems a long the way (I'd like to imagine that no one has ever been where we went) like the little stream that we found at the end of our trail.  Elder Johnson and I are a lot alike, we both enjoy adventure, we both like a challenge, neither of us mind getting dirty, sweating or even sometimes bleeding.  And we just really enjoy leaving behind all our cares to just go have an adventure.  We honestly don't talk a lot, but I do notice that we are laughing a lot.  We stayed as long as the weather allowed us and then we hurriedly pedaled our way back up the trail, which had turned into a boggy mess.  It wouldn't have been so hard, but Elder Johnson and I had played a few games of dodge ball the night before and all that sprinting made our quads extraordinarily sore.  Our legs were on fire as we pedaled over the muddy trail, but we muscled through it just fine.  I love being Elder Johnson's companion, he is kind, soft spoken and is just super chill and find that really soothing.

Joseph's last supper!

  Joseph decided that he wanted to go to Wasabi for his last supper and then real life happened and we had to shift plans and have grub hub deliver five guys to the house.  It turned out really fun though because after we ate, we played maki in the backyard and then everyone piled on the trampoline to bounce off some of those calories.  Just so you know, maki means lemur in Malagasy.  We usually play horse or pig, but instead we used the word maki to play "horse", because it's just so much cooler and fun that way!   Joseph is the fun in our house and we are really going to miss that dynamic when he is gone!  We also went mini golfing a few days later and it was fun to just spend time together.  We didn't keep score and we just decided to goof off and have fun.  Lucy played several holes in front of us the entire time and Joseph helped her get a hole in one on the last hole.  He's always so giving and kind to everyone!

Pday

 Hola!  Well we planned on going on another hike today, but an illness swept through our house and Elder Johnson spent part of his day recovering.  So while he was in bed, I took the opportunity to plant my garden.  After that was all finished, Elder Johnson was awake and he was kind enough to feed Lucy's gerbil, Burrow.  Aww, he's such a cute little guy!  Then, we went on a bike ride on the green way and on our not so secret secret path.  Elder Johnson likes to talk to me while I'm happily huffing and puffing to keep up with him.  We rode behind south high school just in time to run into a fight going on in the courtyard between a few guys.  I got off my bike and yelled, "Let him go or I'll call the school."  The two guys that were attacking the other kid let go and said, "It's none of your business."  So, I pulled out my phone and pretended to call the school (it's my not so secret secret weapon) and they took off.    Bu...

Drunk guy: we come across drunk people all the time but this guy in particular wouldn't let go of my companion and kept saying that he was his brother in christ it was kinda funny but i felt bad for the guy. he also said that he knew english but when he spoke it was just gibberish and random sounds it was wacky. When he was done telling us that he loved us, We told him that Jesus loved him and that we had things to do but he still wouldn't let us go. We eventually just started walking away, and after a couple ste...
