Bienvenidos a La Casa Laurel

 

This week has been crazy busy! We started off the week by getting a call from the mission office in billings that we would be moving to a new apartment and that we had to start moving right away. We used to live with 2 other elders In the same apartment, and laurel was split between us, but because of corona, the mission is trying to make sure everyone has their own apartment for safety. So now we live on the other side of laurel in a new apartment. We went from a set from that 70's show at our old place to granite countertops at our new place, so a nice trade-off. 

Most of our days consist of a LOT of studying and service, we spent 5 hours in the sun on Saturday doing a food drive for the local Lutheran church, and it was so much fun! Felt like we met the whole town as they passed through with their cars. Everyone is super nice and belongs to a different church, as there are like a dozen of them here. We do have a couple of investigators we are trying to meet more often with these crazy times, but all we can do is service or meet in a chapel, making our choices quite limited. But the few conversations we do have in person with nonmembers are super cool and exciting for the future!

The work is definitely progressing here, people in general are just more open to missionaries after these weird few months in the world, which definitely makes our job much easier. Through Facebook and our awesome ward we are slowly finding more people who are interested in the gospel! So hopefully we will be able to keep on going! 

That's pretty much it here, It's just never a dull moment here in Laurel, a nest of hornets kept us locking inside for a couple hours, we have our own deer herd at our apartment, one minute the sun is out and then ya blink at it's raining sideways, and every train that passes through town at night lays down on the horn so, fun times siempre. 

Cheers from your local Montanian Elder Barlow!
