ME VOY a DODGE CITY!! I'm headed up to Colorado Springs tonight and then tomorrow we have actual transfers and I'm going to Dodge City Kansas!! I'm pretty excited for that to be honest. I think my Spanish will get some help after that!! :) But I'm gonna be with an Elder named Elder Kelley. Sounds white to me, haha. So i hope his Spanish is good cuz he can help me. But ya I'm way excited to go to Kansas. It's like a 5 hour drive from Colorado Springs and they are an hour ahead of where I am now. It will be fun getting to know a new area and new people. Cuz i heard Dodge City is like Alamosa, but opposite. Here there are a few spots of Spanish and then a few mixed in. But i heard in Dodge, there a few english spots, and a few mixed in. So I'm really excited for that!!
Sounds like you guys had a fun trip!! Thanks for the pictures :) haha. Good to hear about the weather. Its already starting to get cold in Alamosa. Its like 60 degrees right now and its sunny. So I'm kinda glad i will be getting a way from the cold for a little bit longer. Cuz i think Its still pretty warm in Kansas. And it doesnt start snowing until like October or so apparently.
Investigators.. This past week was hard. You remember the guy who cant get baptized cuz he is not divorced and remarried? Well we were gonna baptize his son yesterday. And he had an interview and everything and was ready to be baptized, but they didnt go to church. So we stopped by there house and he told us he didnt think he was ready to be baptized and blah blah blah. So we didnt have a baptism yesterday unfortunately. But it will be cool to start new somehwere else. Im way excited for that. So the valley, is like all over. Alamosa is part of the valley. Its the San Luis Valley. And it has just a bunch of places. Center, Monte Vista, Del Norte, Sanford, Manassah, Salida, La Jara. Its just a bunch of places, and its called the valley.
So ya about Saturday, it was the CRAZIEST experience. It was cool. So every Pioneer Days, Manassah has this HUGE party. With liike a parade and everything. And So The missionaries from Alamosa and the Missionaries down there, and President and Sister Pfile came down. And we got to be in the Parade!! It was SUPER cool. We walked behind a truck and shook peoples hands that were watching and gave them cards and stuff. But Mannassah is EXTREMELY mormon populated. So when we walked by EVERYONE would scream for us and clap and stuff. I felt like a celebrity. It was amazing haha, I felt super loved. And then on the way back, we sang hymns and stuff. It was a really cool Experience. And after we walked aroudn trying to talk to people. But that didnt go as well as planned. Cuz people didnt wanna listen to us, they just wanted to ride rides and eat and stuff. haha.
But yes i Saw the Palmer Family. It was the weirdest thing!! I was just walking down the side in the parade shaking people's hands and just talking to people not really looking at who they were. Then all of a sudden i look up and i hear "DAVID" and people screaming and I'm like AHHH. And it was Cammie, so i like shoook her hand. And then sister palmer was like ahh i can hug you and gave me a big hug. But I had to keep walking. But it freaked me out, like no joke. I was in shock. I wasnt expecting to ever see people i knew in my mission haha. But then after the parade she came up to me with John and talked to me a little. Tell her sorry if i was a little stand offish or something. iwas just scared and nervous, so i was probably acting a little weird. I didnt even ask about david, haha i felt bad. But she took a picture of me and Elder Olivares.
So nothing much has realy happened this week. Yesterday was cool. We went over to one of my favorite families, the Gallardos. And she made us some cow tongue tacos and some cow brain tacos. They were both REALLY good. I think i like tongue better. But brain honestly was pretty good. I'm glad i got to try it. She knew i wanted to try it so that's why she bought it for me. She bought the whole Cow head and prepared it all and stuff. So it was cool.
Well i guess that is all that is new right now. Super excited to see how this next week goes. Love you all!!
