Oct 23rd, 2017 update

[Title for Elder Reed's update this week was "Jar-Jar Binks and Rain" - he loves to come up with interesting titles - ha ha]

"Wow, it is always way hard to remember what happened this week. 

Got a new companion for six weeks, Elder Theobald, from St. George. I like him a lot! He and I get along quite well. There was one day when we were knocking and we were quoting Star Wars episode one pretty much the whole time and we were laughing all about Jar-Jar and all of his amazing scenes in the film. We were just having a grand ol time.

This past week, I believe it was Wednesday, it rained a lot. And after walking around in it for about five hours, my shoes became little swimming pools, and every step was a *squish*. It was a very interesting time. Plus, it has been getting darker, so when people answer their doors, they have this semi-confused look on their faces as we try to teach them the gospel. It is quite funny sometimes. 

One night, we went split knocking with one of the zone leaders and afterwards we had a sort of pizza party because none of us had dinner yet so that was a fun time waiting for the pizza to bake as we dried off. Speaking of which, we converted this one room in our apartment into a drying room. We turned the heater on and put a fan on in there. We use it to dry off our pants and jackets before we go out again. Very fun :)

I do apologize that this week is a little shorter of an email, I will try to remember more next week

P.S. had two people this week tell us that they were "unfortunately Catholic" hhhmmmmm
