The Rez

So I've finally gotten to visiting one of the many Rezez around here. This last Saturday Elder Wilson and I made it out to the Sweetgrass Reserve. It was honestly one of the nicer Reserves I had been on so that was good. Elder Wilson was telling me that the Carry the Kettle reserve was about the same as it. He was out on CTK for five months before he came here so that's why I felt like we could be successful in going out to Sweetgrass. It was kindof nice to be out on a Rez again because of how often I was out on the Rez in Yorkton. But yeah we'll have to get out there again soon because the Band Office was closed so we couldn't get a map. It's good :)

So another fun thing that happened this last week was since I'm now the good old Battleford DL I get to report indicators to the Zone Lords. Well I tried calling them when I was supposed to but they were probably talking to some other DL at the time so they missed me. But, because we needed to get out and do some work we started going by some houses we had tracted earlier in the week and the first house we stop by we get into quite a good discussion on how, according to him, our church is different from "Christianity". He had quite a few questions for us and what we taught and honestly it felt like he was trying to find some major doctrinal difference from what he thought Christianity was but since our church is literally where Christianity came from he was having a bit of difficulty doing that. It seemed like he was trying to fish for something that wasn't there. It might've been the fact that we have temples but, like I said, we told him how temples started with the tabernacle that traveled with Israel in the wilderness and how the Temple of Solomon was the permanent placement of the temple. We also told him how many prophets when talking to God would go up into the mountains which acted as a temple of sorts. So yeah it was kindof a unique conversation :) I hope we showed to him how really we're not that different from what is taught in the Bible. But, an hour and a half later Elder Wilson let me know that we had four missed calls, three from the Zone leaders and one from the Assistants. So whoops :) I guess I'm important enough now to hold back the entire indicator process :) I got rebuked enough but it's all good. Elder Wilson after this week has been calling me a loose cannon missionary because I apparently don't care about the rules :) 

Welp that's all I've got. I hope y'all have a great week. I think I have enough time to send pictures so that'll be good :) Potatoes gonna Potate

So this is how much rice three cups makes :) 
I'm a lot more used to minute rice so this was quite the surprise to me
