Many Things

Hello everybody! How are you all doing? I hope you are doing well. As some of you might remember, I was sick last P- Day. Tuesday I was all better. We went to La Cumbre and we also went to family home evening here in la Masica. Wednesday we had exchanges. I was with Elder Brown, and we went with the bishop to visit a family in San Antonio, where a friend of the bishop was sick. Then I started to feel sick. We went back to the house, and I rested for 20 minutes. After that we went back to work, but I shortly began to feel sick again. We came back home again, and I got progressively worse throughout the day, having stomach pain and eventually a headache and fever. Throughout the night, my headache got worse, but my fever got better. The next morning, I could not feel the tips of my fingers, but we bought medicine, and I rested for about all day and I eventually was feeling much better. 

Friday we were in town all day and tried to visit that one family that I visited before with Elder Estrada. As soon as we got there, the dad told us they couldn't talk to us right then because he was on a phone call for work, so that was disappointing. On Saturday, the trip to the temple was awful, aside from visiting the temple Itself. There were so many people who came to go on the bus to go to the temple, that there wasn't room for us all. On the way there I had to stand up in the bus for 4 hours. That, among many other small things, made my day pretty rough, but I loved seeing the temple again. 

Yesterday, church was normal. We didn't do the closing song, which I am grateful for. I didn't have much time to practice with how sick I was this week. We then went to a birthday party for a recent convert's son. His big brother took all of his candy from the piñata, and then he left the party. I wasn't a big fan of that, but I did like the food and cake. We also gave out a Book of Mormon to an investigator who asked for one, which he may or may not use for Bible bashing purposes. We took a route that wouldn't have been as efficient, but the Holy Ghost had prompted my trainer. On the way there, we met some kids we knew who went with us. One of them gave an explanation to the man about how our first names are Elder. We also gave a blessing to their mom, who we didn't know was sick. We would not have been able to give that blessing or know that she was sick if we didn't take the route we did. Very miraculous.

Welp, that's all I've got. And I hope you're all doing better than I've been health-wise. Take care, and may God bless you.

Sincerely,
Elder Cobian

And the Temple (I took both, and my camera was surprisingly good)

There were pictures of me, but I don't have access to them, and P-Day is almost over. Sorry, Mom!

Cross-Country Fish

  Hello everybody! I hope that you've all had a good week. I know I have. Last week we did feeding as usual, except we now have Elder Anderson. He misses home, but has done well here so far. We've started feeding on a big flatbed truck instead of a tractor pulling a trailer, and I don't like it as much. The bed is higher so it's harder to climb on. Also, I feel the bumps a lot more. Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. We've also done a lot of fence work together. There have been a couple posts to gates that have been destroyed, so we redid those. We do still have a bit of fencing to do and redo. Today we had a fish fry! Elder Caldwell, a senior service missionary, caught salmon and halibut while visiting Alaska, and we all got some at his party. I just don't know how he got it so far without it going bad. I've got a new favorite job to do! I'm not sure if I like it any more than my other favorite jobs. It's chopping wood. It's really relaxing...

Nana's Wedding

  So for those of you that don't know, I grew up calling my older sister Nana instead of her name Liliana. She got married last Friday, which is pretty great. I got to come away from the ranch and visit my family and be there for her wedding. It's all good stuff. After my family picked me up, we went to Lehman Caves, which is near the ranch here. Digging bull thistle is still going strong. Pivot 7 had a massive patch of it that took us half a week to get through. Last that I checked, the cows are still in our handline field, destroying sprinkler heads and all that jazz. They also brought in legions of flies and gnats that are very annoying, but oh well. Actually, now that I'm back, the cows are gone. The horseflies have become ten times worse now. Cool. I've just gotten into the book of Alma, which has a lot of war stuff in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon was written for our day. I know that we're meant to get something out of these chapters. I think that the...

Winter Allergies

  Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a while. I hope that you've all been well and keeping yourselves safe. Even though I haven't been writing, I have been working! I know it's not a surprise since I'm serving on a ranch, but we've been doing a lot of stuff with cows. We shipped off about 250 of them to the other ranch, and received about 30 calves from there. Feeding has also sped up a lot, and we're doing a ton of it. I never thought I'd have allergies in January. It's also been getting very cold at times. I heard it'll only get worse in calving season. Lovely. I've also got my own assigned project of rebuilding a brace and fixing its fence. It's been very satisfying so far to do it right. We've had to redo quite a few parts, but it's been worth it. I've been working on trying to improve my peacemaking skills, that definitely starts with myself. I am trying to do and be better with how I am towards my companions. I s...
