Greetings form the Red Planet... I mean Arizona,
For some reason milk transitions have been fun and interesting in my mind. When I came out I was all about the 2% milk then when I was out 6 months Elder Smith and me dropped to skim milk. New harmony with Elder Toropainen We had 1% together. Now in Colorado City Elder Chadsy and I do the Raw Milk!!! Thats milk straight from the cow with all that unpasteurized goodness you expect. It makes frosted flakes even better yum. It's like whole milk from Heaven except its from Colorado City. The dairy they have there is pretty popular people come from all over to get ice cream, cheese , and milk ect. At one time recently the FLDS Church excommunicated the members running the dairy because they were not paying enough tithing. Its funny cause when the dairy closed down the towns folk got all upset and protested till the members were brought back into the Church and the dairy was opened again. The same thing happened to the produce store but there was less protesting... I guess Colorado City doesn't like it's veggies. Hopefully I'm not the only one interested by this. This place is still odd to me haven't quite got used to it. Love the milk though.
Working with former members of the FLDS Church is difficult. Most have lots of trouble giving up their old beliefs. Our Mission President interviewed one of our current investigators and told us for lack of better terms she has been brainwashed. Most have trouble with the thought of being rebaptized cause they feel their other Baptism was valid. Its hard to get across the the restored Priesthood only exists in the LDS Church. A lot of people have trouble with that. I'm thankful though we have some of Kanab in our area cause it's nice to go back to normal missionary work a few days a week. However I'm very thankful for this learning experience.
This week was really slow seemed like every door we knocked we were rejected. This transfers motto for Elder Chadsy and me is 'Roll with the punches." We were feeling pretty low this week but that means the only direction to move is up and I'm positive that's where we are heading.
