How is it going? Is summer in full swing anywhere else yet? Or are we having fun with no more school? This week has been nothing but wet ALL week. Literally it has rained everyday but Saturday. But that is ok, I guess. At least it is cooler right? No, this week has been not quite as easy for many people. There have definitely been a few hindrances in the work this week, but we got through it ok, so yeah???
To start out the week, we got to go to Cody for our Transfer Walmart trip. That is always fun being able to meet up with the other missionaries and play some games. That doesn't get to happen all that much anymore:(. It's ok though that's not why we're out here. Something else that made this week slightly more challenging was that we had no appointments with investigators. They all fell through the cracks, so we were finding pretty much all week. Sadly without much success, but hey, that's sometimes the nature of the beast. We have to work hard to see results and most of the time, they don't come the way we are expecting.
Tuesday we had the Trainer call in the morning and then we did some weekly planning because we weren't able to do it last week.
Wednesday as a big hiccup. Starting at District Council. Elder Reinhold was not feeling well at all, and him coupled with me trying to overcome my spring allergies and ailments, made for one tough day combined. It ended up being a pretty low key day with not much going on, because all that the sick missionaries wanted to do was sleep, and not cough our lungs out. We're working on not passing it on, and keeping the others from picking it up as well.
Thursday we got to take a tour of the Byron Library with a nonmember. That was pretty cool. The nonmember Kristin is a ghost hunter. She can feel where the spirits are(where the veil is pretty thin) and tries to figure out what is causing the spirits stress. Supposedly there are a lot of them in Byron from its past. I got to watch some footage of the Library when a glass case was broken by an unseen force. It was kind of cool. Kristin isn't interested, but it was fun to meet her and learn more of the history of the town. Thursday was also my 1 year mark. It was so cool to see that I have been out for a year. It sure doesn't feel like it. But now it's time to climb the rest of the way. This next year will be super fun I'm sure.
Saturday we were invited to a funeral and got to celebrate the life of a member of the church. It went well, and we loved that it didn't rain on Saturday. It felt so good to see people outside and walking around. It is a great sign of the incoming summer.
Sunday we gad a baptism in Lovell with the Lovell 1st ward elders. That was super cool with all that they had set up and it really brings the spirit of the work into the stake, district and zone. I can't wait to see the results of the Spirit of Missionary work hit with the people here.
Overall, there hasn't really been anything exciting to report. We're out here doing our best, but sometimes we hit bumps in the road. Oh well. Next week will be better I'm sure. But until then I hope you all have a great Memorial day and first week of Summer.
Love,

Hey Guys,
Hey Guys,
How are we doing today? Are we having fun with school getting out? Or are we all still stuck in boring places? Haha! I know that summer brings excitement for everyone but Amy, but it will not be hard I promise. With summer on the verge, do you realize I have fewer days left than I have been out? Yep, I'm on the down hill slope now.
This week, I have been thinking a lot about that talk from General conference about the vision of the Tree of Life. It has made me want to ponder on what things we need to work on and how to do so, in a way that we don't just simply float by the tree of life. It is a great thought to keep in mind, and one to relay back to often if possible. It may help.
Well, Not much else to be said. I hope the school year ends well, and you enjoy the hot sun. Haha.
Love ya,
Elder Sherwood
