Splits (companions & wood) and NAVAJO TACOS!!

-
Soooo, this week was great. We went on splits for a day and I went to the res with Elder Robison, he is great and we got to chop wood for two hours which I actually really loved doing. He challenged me to break this huge long in 3 swings and i split it in half with one haha. Also, I had Navajo taco's for the first time and fell in love, they are so good! It's been a great week over all, sadly still no pics. I keep forgetting. We have two people hopefully on there ways to being baptisms, so prayers for Jay and Keisha! The more I get to know my ward the more I love them! They are so great, brother Hansen, brother Connell, and brother Wilkey(who is moving to saint George soon) are probably my favorites. Me and my companion have been working out every morning, if I don't throw up.. Brother Wilkey says it's probably altitude sickness, he says when he moved here it took him a couple months to get use to the altitude and not be sick anymore. Hopefully it doesn't take that long. I've been super busy and I miss all of you so much. but always love to hear from all of you.Oh and a lady thought a demon was controlling her so we gave her a blessing and hopefully that helps? She was a bit drunk so we are getting the addiction recovery specialist in the ward in touch with her. I don't really know what else to say in here so...

Hey everyone! Have I mentioned I miss you? oh, well just in case, I MISS YOU! How is everything at home going? Also, I am still sick but also still having a blast. Been able to do a lot of progress and meet with a lot of people. Sadly one of our investigators is doing everything but coming to church so we may have to move her baptismal date back. I'm super tired and busy but love every minute of it. We have grown very close with this ward and this town. Yesterday we had a kinda movie night with the ward missionaries, less-active members and bishop tanner. We watched meet the mormons and it was great! Good food and great people, all thanks to Sister Riley opening her house to people. I don't know much else to say, Just keep us in your hearts and prayers so we can help serve those in this area. If you all want to send some letters as well, I'll allow it haha.          With love, Elder Sommerville oh yeah.... I almost forgot! We saw and went int...

First Week in the Field!

-
Okay, so I don't have much time. I'll better plan my emailing hour next week and do this first but here goes. I'm in Gallup, New Mexico for my first area with Elder Johnson. Sadly we did not get any pictures yet. I love my companion, area, and ward. Everyone is so nice and caring and our dinner schedule is already practically full! Me and Elder Johnson, in an effort to save money and lose weight are dieting together, which is hard with all the dinners but we'll figure it out. It hasn't snowed yet which bugs me a bit but I suppose is alright. I'll allow it for now. anyways, I was sick last week, got over it on the way to new mexico, and first night got super sick again so I'm trying to fight off a cough now but thats okay because i'm mostly past the sickness. Been working hard, not hardly working. Met a lot of people and love each one of them. have been teaching one lady named Valerie and her kids and just broke through to her boyfriend when the next m...

15: TRANSFER NEWS!!

-
I am sadly leaving the wonderful city of Gallup NM, and going up to Farmington NM. I am sure Farmington will be great. But I know I will severely miss Gallup 1st ward. So many wonderful families and people in this town. I'm going to miss everyone so much. I will let you all know my mailing address next week because I don't have it yet. So, this has been an interesting week. Someone who seemed like a kind promising investigator flipped the script when we came back for a lesson, cussed us out, slammed the door and threw the Book of Mormon we gave him at us. It was sad and shook me and elder Johnson. We hope he is okay and that he forgives us for whatever we may have done. the Chuska mountain elders got threatened by a couple people so they came to Gallup and we had a sleepover haha. Also, Winter is finally here haha yet, most the snow is beginning to melt away now. And, I finally brought the camera for pictures!!!! so pics in next email! Love, Elder Sommerville
