In the middle of nowhere ...

Yerp, here I am. IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Santa Vaca. You guys have to go on google maps and explore this place. There is absolutely nothing here. Well i take that back...we have one gas station, and a little food mart and a post office. dats it. The closest thing to civilization is all the way out in Rexburg...which is where we gotta do all of our shopping and whatnot. And boy is it hillbilly country out here. I'm talking STRAIGHT UP hillbilly. Have y'all ever seen the show Moonshiners? If Austin Ayers is reading this right now he will know exactly what I'm talking about. The people are like that lol. I've been trying to figure out what people do for fun out here...but You know what people talk about up here??? Two things...Weather and the price changes in potatoes.  

No puedo Creerlo...jajajaja

In this area you drive..and drive...and drive a whole lot more just to get to church. We cover 5 different wards. The ward we went to yesterday took us about 40 minutes to get there. The only thing that keeps me sane is the beautiful view of the mountains.

Well despite all of this we've been seeing little miracles throughout the week. We gave a lady a priesthood blessing because she was going through a critical time in her life. We had some sweet lessons and we hope to extend some baptismal dates with them. I am super stoked to work with the leadership though...i went to ward council the other day and it was the most productive ward council i've ever been in. OH, Y'all remember Elder Tidwell? My first companion I trained? Well he's in my district!! So that's super fun to work with him and see him. My first born son in the wilderness...I'm so proud of him. 

Well that wraps up life with Elder Petitt....life in the middle of nowhere. weeeeeeeee
