Guys only 90 more days until Christmas! It is practically here!  ALSO, VERY VERY important news! It is my moms birthday! Thank you mom so much for pushing me to my limits and loving me enough to show me how to be a responsible person. My mom means the world to me. I am very grateful that I have her in my life. I would not be the stunning man I am now if it werent for her! I love you mom! I hope you have the best day ever!  Anyways, hello people of the email list! A ton of things have happened since my last email. Lots of good, and lots of bad! This week has been a mix of emotions!  At the very beginning of the week I lost my good friend Leo, Elder Hansen's bear. It was very sad to see him leave. We have been on so many adventures to Alturas and on Black Top mountain above LakeView. It was sad to see Leo go. But for real, Elder Hansen and I got along so well that it was a little rough to see my buddy have to go up to Eugene.  But on the bright side, I got a new c...

GUYS GUESS WHAT!? On Monday, I got to eat dinner at the Halibieb family's house and sister Halibieb spent all day cooking an absolutely beautiful Christmas dinner for us! Since it was most likely Elder Hansen's last week in Lakeview! We were all so surprised when they opened the door and yelled "Merry Christmas!" Let's just say it was a Christmas Miracle! If you want to you can go look at more of that on Facebook! Sister Halibieb posted about it! I mean, that was probably the biggest and funnest part of the week to be honest.  Tuesday we went over to Jack's house and moved logs again! He had heart surgery on Thursday. But don't worry it went well! We also went to come follow me with some of the elderly in the ward again.  Wednesday we went over to the Corbetts for dinner! They are a bunch of older ranchers and their house is actually so sick! I really want to have a house just like theirs when I am old enough to get one! I loved it so much!  Thursday I wen...

Just letting you guys know, EGGNOG is in stores!! That means it is Christmas time right?? Elder Hansen and I think so!! 105 days away! It is Practically tomorrow!  And for the haters who say that I cant celebrate, christmas right now. Is it a bad thing to celebrate the birth of our Savior? The savior can be celebrated always.  Anyways, I went to a rodeo this monday with the Alturas Elders. LakeView is very famous for the rodeo over labor day. So we decided to not be lazy bums and go to this awesome Rodeo. They had all sorts of crazy high ranked people. It was probably the best rodeo I have been to. I forgot to take a lot of pictures. My bad! I know I am lame.  Tuesday we were supposed to meet with this dude named Chris. He ended up not being able to make it sadly. It would have been cool to start teaching him and start with his path towards salvation and babtism. But we ended up teachig him about faith and how trials keep you closer to Heavenly Father. He has been going t...

Hello people of the email list! It is me Elder Reynolds! I hope you are all doing swell! I pray for you guys every day.  Well this week has been kinda crazy! For P day we went to the lava tube cave thingys. I dont know what they are called. But it was so so cool! That is one place I would definitely want to go visit when I go on my mission tour with my family! It was absolutely amazing! It was way nice to get out of the heat even if t was for a short time. It is like 95 degrees here in LakeView on most days which makes it kinda fun to go do outside services. I am very grateful I can wash my clothes back at my appartment lets just say. But it was like 30 or so degrees in some of the caves. In one of them there was this old mountain goat skull which is kind of cool! And we almost got lost in another one. That would have been a little embarassing to have to wait for someone else to come rescue us. We were debating about if there was some sort of wild beast in the cave who would fight ...
