I think I mentioned that last week we helped put in 80 posts for a barbed wire fence. If I didn't mention it... that's something we did. haha anyways, the person who owns the road that most of the fence ran along complained that the posts were to close to the road. So the guy we helped needed to move them over by a couple feet. We went over on Friday and strung out the barbed wire. We held the roll at one end of the fence while the other end was tied to his truck. He just dove to the end of the fence to unravel it. It was kind of fun.
One of our members and his wife are currently in jail and so their house that they were renting was just sitting there with all their stuff in it. The other two guys that were living there just got kicked out because they couldn't pay the rent. They needed to be out by Saturday night and they hadn't started moving yet.
We helped out one of the guys by packing up all his food and dishes and a couple other things and driving it up to his place in Post Falls.
The landlord wants to be able to rent out the house so we went over on Sunday and packed up all of our member' stuff and moved it into their camper trailer. We talk to them about once a week at our bishop's house using an online service that lets you call inmates for half an hour for $10 It's pretty cool being to talk to them and see how their doing. Even though I had never actually met them. They were glad to hear that we helped out with all their stuff.
Thanksgiving was good. We went over to a member's house and had dinner with them and some of their family and friends. It was kind of awkward because their were tons of people that all knew each other and then there was us... I guess my companion knew a lot of the people there because he has been here for 7 months. But I didn't know anybody. I got one picture of my companion and I at Thanksgiving but the person who took it was this old lady that shook a lot when she took the picture so it's really blurry. And I felt awkward getting a picture with anyone other than my companion and I since everybody there was total stranger. But other that that the food was good.
After the meal we went out with one of the families because they heard that someone hit a deer with their car and they wanted to claim it before any one else did... because, you know.. free meat. We walked about 2 miles and never found it. They were pretty disappointed .
I saw a chiropractor today. He is a member who sees missionaries for free. He did some stuff to my chest and my shoulders and now my jaw doesn't pop :)
That's it for the week

We sent Elder Rebalkin everything for a Thanksgiving dinner and had these tags on the packages.
