 Family and friends. 

This week has been pretty strange. We have officially moved out of the zone leaders place and into a house of our own. YAY! We'll miss living with another set of elders, but having a place of our own is nice. (Even though said place was built in the 20's) On Friday, we started to move out, but the carpet of the new house was still wet, so that night, we camped on the Acequia Elders floor, which was fun. 

       Moving took up most of this weeks time, but yesterday night, after dinner, we went on splits with the 5th ward bishopric. I went with Brother Mendoza and we visited a younger couple who needed help with their lambs. We were actually going to castrate one of them, but they want him for breeding purposes, so we didn't (Elder Kerr made me go instead of him for that reason) So we get there, and the lambs have LONG TAILS. I was shocked. We chased them around for a little bit, caught the first one, and then Brother Mendoza takes a rubber band and puts it way up high on the tail. Apparently, this cuts off circulation to the tail and after about 6 weeks it just falls off. Weird, right? I caught a couple of them and screwed up some pants, but they were DI pants anyways, so its OK. All in all, this week has been pretty good, and we're gonna be able to do a lot more now that we live closer to the area we actually work in. Hooray!
