Elder Crager! He is awesome. He is definitely one of my favorites. A few things about him:

 

-He is from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

-He has been on his mission for 20 months

-He likes to run

-A good teacher

-Works hard

-A great leader

 

I'm predicting that we will only be together for a transfer, and then I'll leave Jackson/Ione. We get along so well and have so many common interests that I wouldn't mind staying another six weeks with him. We are unified when we teach. He's amazing.

 

This week has been great. Bringing a missionary into a new area is fun. We've visited investigators and our ward leaders. Elder Crager loves this place. We are going to work hard and get a lot done and have fun. I love being a missionary! :-)

 

Steve came to church again this week! He really wants to know, for sure, that the church is true. It's humbling to have the experience of teaching and helping Steve come closer to Christ.

 

Yesterday late afternoon we walked out of Br Martinez's house and the light outside looked really weird. My first thought was "the world is ending!" The shadows were all split and everything looked kinda yellow. When we pulled into our apartment complex there were a few people outside checking it out. It was a solar ecplipse! I had no idea that it was supposed to happen. The guy that lives right across from us made a telescope-type thing to watch it. We could see the shadow of the moon over the sun through a pin-hole in the box. It was sweet.
