Traveling in Time and Metting a Viking

9/18/2017

Hello everyone!

This is Elder Clawson again. 

You probably already knew that since my name probably comes up before you opened this email.

Or you might have seen the beginning of the email just in your inbox before you opened and saw my name in the beginning of the email. 

This week I got sick for a day, we went back in time, then back to the future, and met a viking. 

Sunday was great. Besides the fact that I got a cold that luckily only lasted that day. 

We went on splits with the Zone Leaders because they had too many lessons that day. I went with Elder Burek and that was the first time I met a viking. The first look at his front door made me think that we were going to have some kind of special experience and then the door bell confirmed that impression. The door opened and there was a viking standing in the doorway. Super blonde and hairy. He was shirtless and had Long braided hair and beard. He was super nice though. 

On Monday we went for P-day to something called an escape room. Basically it's like one of those puzzles online where you are stuck in a room and have to figure out how to get out but in real life. The one we did was pretty cool. We went back in time and had to find a mind reading device and then go to the future and read someone's mind and then get out. We had an hour to solve it and we finished with six minutes left.  That was fun.

Things felt kind of slow this week but things were still good. And despite things feeling slow here we saw many many miracles. 

Also I got some pictures finally from last week. So yeah, here you go.

We had a family home evening and we acted out some of the Book of Mormon stories. (They couldn't find their "Nephi hats" so I wore a regular hat). I was Lemuel and she was Nephi

Here is the picture of us after we escaped the room (It was actually two rooms). I am holding the mind reading device (they called it the "Milophone"). 

Elder Lundquist had us take a selfie as we were helping the Temple Accommodations here on the temple grounds to make all of their beds.
