Here's the "Bishop and Bingham" story he's referring to:
The priest super activity was at Big Lake this year. A forest ranger came and told them there had been bears in the area, to please make sure the food was taken care of, and definitely not in the tent. They didn't listen. Bishop heard someone in the morning, so he got up. Sure enough, in the morning, the bear was chowing down on twinkies, granola bars and other yummy things. He chased the bear off. A while later, the bear returned. . . they still hadn't cleaned up the food. A third time, the bear came back. This time he started circling Bingham's tent. Bingham was inside asleep. Bishop grabbed a gun in one hand, and a camera in the other. (go figure.) He got some great shots with the camera and had the gun cocked and ready to fire as soon as Mr. Bear moved away from the tent. The bear ran off quickly when a green forest ranger truck pulled up. Great pictures, great parallels. You'll get that take in the mail. In the mean time, be thinking about it on your own.
I´m doing pretty good! Thanks for asking! You´re not the only one that felt spiritually deprived this week!... Uh, yeah... We didn´t go to church this week! OOPS! ask Richard for that story.
Speaking of sundays... Did you ever not go to church on your mission? jaja Yeah well... I´ve already been called inactive by our ward mission leader. :S The only family that can take us to church was gone and it´s an hour and a half walk. We went to the bus stop and that would have gotten us there about a half hour late, but it didn´t come for two hours. By the time it came it wouldn´t have been worth it to get on the bus. So we didn´t go to church. :( I guess we´ll have to figure out something else for the next three weeks while they are on vacation! The busses here are so unreliable... or maybe that´s just because of the summer. Kinda lame!
I do not know George Lintala. Never heard of him. Sorry. Something I like about my companion... the fact that he likes our pancakes! :) jk um... He´s willing to work and tries to keep most of the rules! (most?!?!?)
Best thing that happened... a really strong member just got back from vacation and she wants to help us teach one of her friends who, if everything goes well(of course), she will probably be baptized! We also had an african that dropped himself last week invite himself to church and come this week!!!
Most painful thing... Trying to dunk and having wet shoes... I hit the ground hard!!! :( My ankle has been pretty sore today. It's feeling better now though!
Funniest thing... We got stuck out in some random pueblo on wednesday night after visiting Marilou (recent convert) and had to call the Rodríguez family to come pick us up! The busses once again failed us! grrrr!
Thanks for the pictures. Brady does have a chubby face... And Heywood style toes! (those long bony things... You know) Is he home yet? Is he going to be blessed this sunday? or was that yesterday?
Well I love you all! Happy August!!! Hope it´s not a scorcher for you! I think it will be for me! :(
Con Amor
