Digging for Gold and Eating a Pig!!

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was pretty good! Elder Iverson has finished out strong, he
hasn't been slacking even though he is going home this week so that
has been great. Transfer calls came and I am staying here in Ypsi
South! So I'll get a new companion tomorrow. I've learned a lot from
Elder Iverson, I hope I can retain it as I move forward in my mission!
   We met this dude named J this week, we think he's crazy. But at
the same time, he is very smart, it's weird! We taught him The
Restoration, about The Book of Mormon, and The Plan of Salvation and
he is just taking it all in. He thinks he doesn't need to pray to know
that it's true because he just believes it... So we're working with
him on that! Haha we came over to help him clean up his backyard, it
is a few years overgrown. He had started digging a hole in his
backyard, he got like 2-3 feet down there, and he said that he buried
a time capsule down there with more than $1,000,000 of gold in it...
He said that when he was a pilot he flew some European Prince around
and the Prince paid him in Gold bars. So we helped him dig deeper for
a little bit, we didn't find anything though! I question whether
there's even a time capsule down there! We were cutting tall grass and
vines growing over fences and stuff, trimming trees, and my allergies
acted up. I don't think I've ever sneezed that much in my life! And my
face was all swollen, it was just wonderful.
   On Sunday Brother Higham invited us over to his place for a pig
roast, it was super good!! He smoked a whole pig for more than 12
hours straight and we got to taste the end results, it was delicious!
   It's sad to see Elder Iverson go home, he's been a great teacher
for me! He will do great back home. I love you all, and hope you have
a great week!
