haha not sure if thats correct but i dont care! anyway, i'll answer your questions first, then i'll get to the good stuff
Where do you email from? the library. we go there every day for my comp to do facebook and i study portuguese. so its good. but we're at the library in lovell today. long story. i'll tell you more later
Did you get an application number (for your on line visa)? you can just go to the web site and just put in my name i think. the other elder here, elder short, checks his like everyday
How do you like your companion? Do you have any of the same interests? yeah, missionary work! hahaha no he's a cool guy though, i like him, he's pretty sarcastic and we joke with each other a lot!! haha
Since you are over 4 wards do you go to 2 each week and then rotate the following week?? (are they in 2 diff buildings?) yeah you pretty much nailed it. but we try to go to the ones we have investigators going to. usually its 1st and 3rd one week and then 2nd and university the other, but we went to 2nd and 1st this week because of our investigators (and none of them showed up!!!) i was pretty upset but its okay, next week. actually this whole week wasnt very good haha but things are already looking up, kinda haha
Is the singles ward very big? Do they bring their nonmember friends like they do here? (I would think they would be good at helping you find investigators!) i havent been to it yet, so i'm not sure how big it is, and i went to institute one day, i guess there was one nonmember there but nobody decided to tell us until after it was over and everyone was gone. but i guess alot of the work has been coming from that ward so yeah i guess they help
Are you freezing? should I send you any thick warm socks or anything? no i'm fine, its actually gotten up to the 40s this week it was really nice. one night we came out of a lesson at like 9 at night and it was 28 degrees, but it felt sooo bomb! i never thought i'd be happy about 28 degree weather haha
Does your garage have a fridge or stove? it has a fridge and we have a little plug in stove and a microwave and a toaster oven and like a george foreman type grill thing
Do the members feed you well? yeah, really well. we had chicken and dumplings with this family from new zealand, it was so bomb! and we have members to eat with every night.
What do you do for breakfast and lunch? umm cereal or toast or eggs or something and then like a sandwich or top ramen or something for lunch
Haha, have you cleaned your garage up, you crazy OCD boy!? yeah, well kinda, i havent gotten it to where i want it yet, but its getting better. the last elder that was here left like half of his stuff here
Did you get the SD card sent home? (I am dying for pics!) not yet, i'm going to today though, i'm going to take a couple more pics and get some stamps and then i'll send it out
Did you write Kyle and tell him to get your hoodie? Is he going to mail it to you there or here? yeah, i just told him to get it. i can get it back from him after the mish or something
Do ya'll have any investigators? haha yeah we have like maybe 2 that are legit right now, and then a couple more we are going to start working with
Alright, so this week: well first of all we're working with this lady who is getting all kinds of crap from her family about investigating the church, she knows its true and wants to join she just doesnt want to join because she doesnt want to lose her family, but we talked to her about the ward family she'd be gaining and how great everyone will be to her, pretty much all she needs to do is come to church and then she'll be ready but the sister we got to bring her had an asthma attack last time and couldnt then this week her phone broke and she had no way to contact her! it was frustrating but it will be alright. then we got a referral from the church and the kid showed up to his appointment and we were all excited and then he goes, oh my friends gonna come too shes like a hardcore christian so i thought you might wanna talk to her so it turned useless, and he "had to leave for work" after like 5 minutes. it was dumb. so that was friday i think, then saturday we went out and went to a couple of appointments and a couple of other houses just to visit and none of them were home (supposedly on the weekends everyone goes to like billings and stuff to see real civilization or whatever haha idk) so it was pretty frustrating, so we decided to just tract in the area we were in, we ran into a former investigator who set up an appt for the next day so we were excited about that. then probably like 3 others answered their doors and nobody wanted to hear about anything. Then sunday comes, none of our investigators show up to church, and the guy we had scheduled cancelled and it was just lookin pretty crappy. So we tried to visit a couple people and a couple less actives on sunday, once again nobody was home, so we went back to the church and we were going to drive to another less actives house, we started driving and the car was being weird, so we pulled into a gas station, and the transmission just like blew. it wouldnt go into gear or anything. So we felt terrible. but then last night we got another referral from the church and this guys best friend is on a mission, so we got a ride from some members back home (like 8 pm) and then we called this guy and he's like way excited to meet with us. then we got a call this morning, one of the houses we tracted and left a card on the door and she wants to meet with us. shes investigated the church before and goes to church still sometimes i guess and wants to meet with us. so its lookin up, but since we dont have a car we're in lovell today and then for district meeting for tomorrow and then we'll go home and probably be car less for at least a week and a half so hopefully it stays warm. wow well this email is like longer than anything i've ever written so i think its time to go haha but i love you all! Keep praying for missionary opportunities at home and doin what you're doin!
Amo voces! tchau!
Elder BerGQuist
And his email to his dad…
Thanks for getting the visa stuff done so fast! my comp is a good guy! I like him, we mess with each other and he actually has a sense of humor and whatnot so thats good. yeah, its pretty snowy right now, this week a lot of it melted though. its gotten up to like 50 i think its weird. i got to see like 3 seconds of the celtics game. we have a less active guy thats like 30 that we're working with and his brother just moved out too he's 24 and his names Dallin haha but they're both huge laker fans, they have lakers stuff all over their house so we talked about them a little and we have a lot of less actives and investigators that want to play basketball so we're trying to get that started up one night a week :) i'm excited for that haha and I heard about jimmer too, we ate dinner with a guy thats a huge byu fan and thats pretty much all we talked about all dinner haha good times. but thanks for the updates and insights. love you dad! you'll have to read my novel that i wrote to mom haha
