Proselyting

 Hello everybody! I hope this email finds you well (It feels weird to say that). I've had a good week. I helped a lot of missionaries with a lot of lessons in a lot of areas. I got to work with English-speaking elders in Wells, Spanish-speaking sisters in Wells, and Spanish-speaking elders in Elko. Cool stuff.

We've decided to cancel English class on Mondays, because nobody has been coming to those for a long time. I went to Family Home Evening at the YSA. We played Murder in the Dark again. I was the murderer for the first time. And I won!

On Tuesday I got to go work at my grandparents' house, which I really missed doing last week. Sadly, I didn't get to go anymore than then, but I hope that I can this upcoming week. The one day I was there, I typed up about half of this super long document. It was good.

I taught English class on Wednesday, and only Rosa could come, but it was good! I also took over English class in Elko, because Brother Thomas had to drive the school bus to Las Vegas. I think that I definitely got the easier of those two jobs.

English Connect went well, I got to teach it from home for the first time, instead of Elko. I got to help with a lot of discussions. I had a little miracle with that I WiFi on my laptop worked for the first time trying to connect (it usually doesn't). That was rally good, because I was running late.

I've really enjoyed so many tender mercies in my life. I wish that I documented them more. I'm going to start doing that, and I challenge you to do the same. It will help you when times are hard, and will help you build a good habit to realize how blessed you really are in any given moment.

That's all I've got. I hope that you all take care, and may the Lord bless you.

Sincerely,
Elder Cobian

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...
