Aug 5th Letter

So since I wrote last not a ton has happened.  This morning I helped the ward mission leader move a sprinkler line and then he gave me a haircut. It was a little sketchy at first, when I was first told that our state trooper ward mission leader cut the missionaries hair, I thought it was a joke but I said ok apparently he has been cutting his own hair for years but anyway I was sitting in his living room and he walks past and he's like ok elder come with me and he starts heading outside and I get up and follow him totally confused as to why he is going outside when he said he was going to cut my hair but I walk out and there is a green plastic chair in the middle of his gravel driveway ( he lives out passed the reservation next to three of his brothers one of which is the mission president but anyway the point is this house is out in the middle of nowhere and he is standing by the chair with a box of clippers in hand and so I go and sit down on this little green chair in the middle of nowhere and he starts buzzing my head but it actually turned out pretty good despite my companion making jokes about how the bald spot will grow back and I only got cut once needless to say this is probably the shortest my hair has ever been. Another interesting thing that happened is one of the part member families we were working with had a kitchen fire so we spent most of Thursday over there cleaning things up we vacuumed walls and ceilings and then took mops and attacked the walls the husband is a non member and in the past hasn't been very open to the gospel but has been slowly becoming more friendly and open and after the fire clean up, hopefully we will be able to begin teaching him soon. Then Sunday we had fast and testimony meeting and there is a family in the ward with a 3 year old and a newborn and this three year old has a vocabulary of a six year old and so he runs up and his dad lifts him up to the mic and with his mouth pressed firmly against it and with out any prompting he begins to tell the story of Ammon how he cut off all the lamanites arms and the king thought the Ammon was the great spirit but that AMMON WAS JUST A MAN and not the great spirit, it was after this that he says the church is true but then proceeds to tell us that lamanites kill nephites and that nephites like to kill lamanites and is about to go on but his dad whispers in his hear to have him wrap up and so he says " I know Thomas Monson is a prophet and I know the church is true and I know Thomas S Monson is a prophet....and I know Thomas Monson's a prophet and that Thomas Monson is a prophet... everyone laughed yeah amen" its at this point his dad bears his testimony while he keeps yelling I want to go again and everyone is dying with laughter it was hilarious and after the bishop gets up and says I know where I'm going for scripture study. Everything is going good the work is starting to pick up we have some potential investigators we are working on and I think I have had more food than I have ever had in my life we get fed every night about and Saturday we were fed twice, and the members make sure that my plate is never empty but I am sooo sick of desserts it was great to have a big cake or pie with ice cream for the first while after two weeks straight it starts to lose its appeal however you never turn it down or else it really offends the members and you never have only one serving needless to say i am very grateful for the exercise time we have and much to my surprise I'm actually loosing weight but we've had some great lessons and I'm learning a lot still more to learn but its all good the church is true and the book of Mormon is the best book every  ( His letter cuts off here I hope it was the end and we didn't miss much )
