Burying weapons of war

My new companion is from Florida. His name is Elder Kervin. We have been doing a lot of finding. My whole mission is praying at  7am every morning for our mission goals we set for finding people. The buffalo stake is also praying with us at 7am for missionary opportunities. It's super cool to see how things are changing. We have had a few very odd experiences. One time someone even called us and left a message on our phone asking to learn more about the church.... that never happens. I called back and he was so genuinely thankful that I called back. Hopefully we meet him.

The guitar from last time was from a investigator named Darrell. I can't remember if I told you about him. He is a older guy who comes to church every week late. He is a rough guy. He has had a very riotous life. Anyways we went back to give him back the guitar that he made McCune borrow and we got talking as always. He is a really awesome dude and has had a huge change of heart. He always sits in a recliner because his legs are messed up from a 46 foot fall he took while working construction. By his recliner he has all sorts of weapons one of which is a large spikeball mace. The spikes on it are about 4 inches. He told us about a time when his son got that stuck in some guys head. The man lived. In fact it didn't even have any lasting effects but still... He has a bunch of flails and blades. He used to like fighting all the time. He would go out with a buddy of his and go to bars and fight anyone. They would ride motorcycles so they never really got caught except one time when they got into a fight with about 100 guys hahahaha he said he got out of all 100 assault charges by telling the judge, "two guys can't jump 100 guys. It was self defense." This guy is a legend. But anyways he has changed now. He was talking about getting rid of all his weapons because he doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore. He is essentially joining the people of Ammon. 

I hope everyone is well

I did take a picture of a abandoned house we found up in the woods with a chopping block on the patio thing. But that's it.
