Stalking the Pig Man

Dear Family and Friends,

No, this isn't the creepy kind of stalking its more like the slow and sneaky, Crocodile Man kind of stalking. Sister Ah Puck and I have been trying to meet everyone in the ward. This is rather difficult as some of them are intentionally reclusive. But one day as we went to knock on the house of an older gentleman in the ward we noticed that the people across the street have a rather large statue of a pig wearing clothes--this seemed a bit strange. Anyway we've tried to meet the man several times, and therefore have been to his house several times, so finally on Saturday I decided I had to get a picture of the pig man. But we aren't supposed to look like tourists while we're proselyting so we tried to be sneaky and take it from the car (while the man out plowing had his back turned). Success. Now see if you can find him. We also discovered that the Pig Man's neighbors have a Zebra, Water Buffalo, and Camel out in there pasture. I think I know where we are tracting tomorrow. Explanations must be had.

Other news of the week? I got to call home for the first time which was nice. I was bitten by a dog for the first time--this was not so nice, but not too bad because I reacted quickly enough that he didn't have time to break the skin. And think, we hadn't even entered the yard, there was no "Beware of Dog" sign, and he was even wagging his tail. But that's okay because we greatly impressed a lady on Saturday that we were brave enough to go through her gate despite the very loud barks of her two dogs (and she had a "Beware of Dog" sign, but the dogs didn't seem too bad). She was also impressed that I knew what kind of dogs they were and then I completely blew her away when she went to show us her purebred cats and I knew what kind of cats they were. I guess there is a reason I am up here in Palo Cedro after all. We also literally lost our first investigator (he got evicted or something). Dennis the 38 year old convict with the 666 tattoo. Its too bad because he always made us laugh and he'd already read half of the Book of Mormon.

I hope you all had good weeks as well. Also, just a reminder, there are two weeks left in the transfer so keep that in mind for mailing.

Love,
Sister Sorensen
