Hey family! How's it going? Things are going great down here in
Snowflake! The weather is starting to get cold. We will be getting a
truck for transfers on Wednesday! At least that's the plan. Speaking of
transfers, we got news on Saturday. Sadly Elder Jones will be leaving
but I know he will love Mesa. We worked hard together and I know he will
have a good time in the warm weather down there! I don't know who my
new companion is. Right now he is still at the MTC. That is a crazy
thought. I go down to the valley to pick him up. My ward mission leader
was wanting to pull a prank on him. He wants us to tract on his door and
then chase us with an axe! That would be exciting. Last PDay I visited
the Stinson museum. That was the adobe home that William Jordan Flake
bought along with the ranch. It was really cool. I went with Noah Flake
who is leaving on his mission tomorrow. In one of these pictures I'm
wearing William J. Flake's hat! I love visiting these sites and knowing
that this is where my ancestors have been. Noah also took me by a road
called Flake Avenue. There are tons of Flakes that subdivided the family
ranch and settled there. That's what we should do with our plot of
land! It sounded like you had a blast at the Fall Festival up there. Of
course you pull out the banjo's when I leave! haha. We had a fun
Halloween party with the ward down here. We had a trunk or treat and
everyone came and parked their cars and decorated them. We only had
bikes so we decorated those and passed out candy and Mormon.org cards!
It was a lot of fun. This week will be a hectic week but I'm excited to
go to work. There are so many people whose lives are changing as they do
those simple things like come to church and pray. It has been amazing
to see. I miss you guys but I'm loving it here right now. I hope you
have a great Halloween today and don't eat to much candy! Unless it's a
Snicker.
Love, Elder Flake
