A fate we can't escape

The biggest Chalupa I have ever had.
This was my face when I realized that I had to finish.

Life is fraught with many different roads, courses and decisions, whatever word you choose to use. Here in Orofino life has so far made choices for us. For instance poor internet connection and cell service. Getting in contact with people can be a real struggle for us, but now that we can go around outside the game has changed. 

Just yesterday we were able to get back in contact 2 people we had lost since the Quarantine started. 

The first - he was a nice guy, seemed surprised to see us. He told us that for some reason we stopped coming by and he didn't know why, though he quickly caught on when we started talking about the virus and its affects on missionary work. He seemed interested to meet with us again, but unfortunately he said the next best time would have to be on the 25th. 

Orofino is a beautiful place.

The other we met with was an interesting character. The second we knocked on his door his dogs started going crazy, which was promptly followed by a very loud SHUT UP! followed by some other colorful words.

He told us that he was an old retired prison guard. He said he was nervous to find someone from his work at the door, but was relieved to see us instead.

He told us that at the time we were talking with and teaching him he was sent in a good place, he then told us that he was find now and was not in need of our help. Friendly guy though, we will have to keep trying with him.

The other day we were didn't have much going for us, so we decided to call up some of the people we teach to check up on them and see if we can do anything for them. We ended up spending about 1 hours and 40 minutes in on one call.

Lots of nice views, long drives and relaxing colors. It's a great place.

We teach this older couple that really struggles with rambling. It's not just that they ramble though, it's also the discussions we have. At some point in the middle of it our discussion one of them will make a comment about a scripture that is unrelated to the topic, quote it and begin a new discussion. It doesn't help that they over complicate almost everything we talk about. I am glad the gospel is simple enough that a child can understand. Other than that we are making progress.

Now the fate we can't escape is boredom, because the work is really slow for us, it is difficult for us to do lots of work with our current restrictions. But hey, you do what you can.
