Spongebob is always on my mind

Ahoy Ahoy mateys. I have a question. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Also what is the best Christmas movie. I will give you the answers. Spongebob Squarepants and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. If you disagree I am sorry for you and your childhood. 

Well, welcome to an email from me. This week was good. So last week I told you about our dog Keeper. Well here is the back end of that story. So we had her about 3 days and we were like, "Ok we legit need to figure out what to do with this dog". So we called some rescue places and the only ones that were full shelters were out of the mission so we were like hmm bummer. We took Keeper to the vet and turns out she didn't have a microchip so we ended up calling an animal control place and they got it figured out and came and picked her up and took her in. It was so so sad. I miss Keeper lots. They were going to hold her 3 days then take her to a rescue so I know Keeper will find the best parents ever. I miss her and wish her the best of luck. I'll never forget you Keeper. 

So what else is happened this week you may ask? Well, missionary work of course. So we only have 1 more week in this transfer which is kinda crazy. Idk what will end up happening next transfer like if Story and I will be split up but I bet Mitchell will get a new comp and I will either be with Story again or get a new companion. Who knows. Exciting. But we still got our 4 wards and it's hard to keep track of everyone and know people so that's exciting. Elders in our house were sick too lately so we were trying to stay inside so it has been exciting times. But yeah a good week. 

I learned I love the stars, cool right? I look at the stars at night and I'm like, "aww cute". I don't get constellations but maybe I will some day. Also it's Christmas so this means that Chick-fil-A has peppermint shakes so go get one for me. Thanks. Also I love cookies and garlic bread. Just felt I should add that in there. 

Ok well yeah that's it. Love you. Drink your shake and take a nap for me. Bye. Love you, love you, love you!

Elder Didn't Keep Keeper

Alma 34:38 Thanksgiving you already know

ผมรัก Spongebob และผมรักคริสต์มาสมีอะไรในโลกที่ดีไปกว่า๒ สิ่งนั้น? อาจจะเป็นตอนคริสต์มาส Spongebob ที่มีอยู่ดังนั้นคุณควรดู

I love Spongebob and I love Christmas. What in the world is better than those 2 things? maybe a Spongebob Christmas episode which exists so you should watch that.

lots of pictures enjoy you filthy animals 

This was the last picture I got with Keeper before she was taken. 

She is so cute and only a little stinky still. I hope she finds a good home. 

House party you already know. We got Martinelli and yeah that's about it. 

What else do you need for a party besides fun people and Martinelli? Nothing!

Who wants canes for lunch. All of us do. We had a party at the park and ate, laughed  

and enjoyed each others presence. 

Elder Story took this picture of the moon. I can try to take credit and say I did, 

but that would be a big lie. 

cheese. smile. wind. cold. Arizona. 

TOP GOLF. I legit suck at golfing so much but who cares. I am good in my heart that's all that matters. 

Woof Woof Bark Bark

Buckle those seatbelts ladies and gentlemen because you are in for a treat. People say they like my emails, well this one should be a good one. Not being cocky but I just know my weeks and I know this was a pretty good week. 

One day it was around lunch time and I love naps. I decided to take a nap and 2 Elders in the house Burgess and Heinhold said, "Elder Slavens look at what we got, a new pet". I look and they are carrying a dog. I said, "Wait what, ok let me cuddle with her." So it turns out they were on a walk and this stray dog started following them. They were like alright sounds good and they brought it into the house. We all sat and pet this stray dog then I though hmm she is pretty dirty so I gave her a bath using old spice. She smells so manly now. We got her all cleaned up and since we don't have dog food oddly we gave her our leftovers. We had corn, spaghetti, and some pork and turkey that she loved. She ate up all this food and loved it. She was so stinky and nasty but now she is an angel. She is the boniest dog I have ever touched. Very sad. But we let her sleep in the kitchen and she only peed on the ground 3 times and now the floor is sticky even tho I legit moped up the whole floor. We are trying to figure out what to do from here. We need to get her real dog food, and a home. We took her to a vet to see if she had a little microchip thing and of course she didn't so they said either care for her or take her to the animal rescue shelter. As missionaries we aren't really suppose to have pets so we need to figure out what to do with this dog. She reminds me of Tivoli back home so thats fun. Besides that I hang out with this dog all the time. I named her Keeper so everyone decides oh yeah we should keep her. Clever eh? Well that was a long story but good story.

OK on a spiritual side TOM WAS BAPTIZED THIS WEEK. Woo baby. Tom is such a beast. We got to meet with him tons and then we had the baptism on Saturday. He had his friends baptize and confirm him and it was amazing. We got to teach the restoration of the Gospel while they were changing and it was the best I've ever taught that lesson. Good work Slay. Keep Slaying. So you can see it was a good week. 

Besides that we just got news we can't go to dinners because this corona stuff is getting worse. Sad. So we are in our house a lil more now but it'll be good we can keep working. If anyone has any stories plz tell them to me I don't wanna get bored. 

Well I hope you don't have corona and if you do get better. Also if you have a stray dog let me know that would be a cool connection we have. Alright bye.

Mosiah 2:41 this is like such a good scripture may have said read before idk but read it. 

หากใครรู้วิธีทำอาหารสุนัขที่บ้านโปรดแจ้งให้เราทราบเพราะผมไม่ขอบคุณก็มีวันที่ดี

If anyone knows how to make dog food at home please let me know because I don't. Thanks have a good day.

LOOK HOW CUTE. So this is Tom to the left of me. He was baptized and he is the coolest guy in the world. I want to live like Tom. 

Meet Keeper. She is stinky and dirty, is a stray dog, has long nails, loves pork and wags her tail a lot. Good girl. 

I gave Keeper a lil face hair cut and she just laid in my hands. How precious. I know it's wrong but I may keep her forever. 

What's up I love technology and computers and phones and such. Call me Einstein baby. 

Surprise phone call thanks momma. Meet Isaac Hansen, meet Jenna Hansen, meet Kristi Slavens. Dream team. 

I took this when I was cold cause Arizona is at a freezing 75 degrees.  

I just ate taco bell

Good evening everyone. So like nothing really happened this week so idk what in going to talk about. I guess I'll think of something I always do but we will see what happens. 

I am currently in a trio still. This is my 4th trio on my mission. I decided God needs me in trios to learn something. Apparently I haven't learned it yet cause this keeps happening. I'm calling it now I'll be in at least 3 more trios in the next 14 months or whatever I have left. Congrats for me.

So I guess a fun update last pday I got sweaters and jackets from thrift stores so I am less cold. Another fun fact I get cold very easy so jackets are a necessity.  Another fun fact Arizona was 90 all week then randomly now it's cold and its like 60. Many of you will say that isn't cold but it's very cold for me. I would wear 4 jackets if I could. Thanks for listening to my fun facts. 

Well this week has been a good one still. We have mostly figured out how to work our schedule with 4 wards. We split it so every day has a different ward so we can contact and talk to them all. It's hard to knock or call everyone so we text people in our wards a lot and we get a lot of responses for possibly lessons and service so it is very good. We have Tom's baptism next week which we are quite excited for. He has an interview this week and he is so ready for his baptism. Besides that we are working hard and having fun. Good stuff. Gotta love that mission life. 

I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family. Have a good week friend family hair follicles.

Elder Taco Bell I Had For Fun Recently

Elder Trio

John 16:33 read it!

จาก taco bell ผมได้รับ doritos los tacos สูงสุดและพวกเขาทำให้ผมมีความสุขและอร่อยมาก

so from taco bell I got Doritos los tacos supreme and they made me happy and were delicious

Hey look at out fridge! We were gonna pass these to members but since you know trio we get to use them as decoration. 

The sunset was really good and I said to myself, "I will take a selfie". So I did that.

I bought this jacket! I like it! You like it! We like it! 

Oh yeah we did this hike a few weeks ago. If you can find me I'll give you a high five in 14 months. Lucky 

Shoutout to the Bardusons. You are welcome. They asked me to do this. 

Here is a video of us getting good luck and wishes. Reminds me of my finsta imprawn go ahead and give it a follow. 

Man Arizona is just so cold

WELCOME TO EMAIL WITH TREN AKA SLAY. I AM TREN. HOW ARE YOU? COOL.

I feel like something crazy happens every single week now. I am not saying that is a bad thing, actually opposite because if nothing crazy happened I would get bored. I like crazy. I am crazy. Example: I ate a green crayon this week because it was a dare. It was non-toxic don't worry. Green is a good flavor. 

So this week Elder Story and I were having a good week when an Elder in the house got to go back to Africa, his original assignment and then we were put in a trio with Elder Mitchell. This is my 4th trio. It is like God needs me in trios. Sounds good to me they are fun. So Elder Mitchell is from Idaho and was originally serving in Chile like the soup. Don't worry it is not chilly in Chile he gets that a lot. He has been out like 14 months or something so that's super. We now cover 4 wards which is a lot and 2 areas that are not next to each other. It is a lot of figure out and do but it's real fun, you know.

This week I woke up one day with a little bug bite or something on my arm. I was like oh cool, and I of course was itching that sucker. The next day I woke up and it had a little red ring around it. It was not too big but people were like, "Bruv you gotta call the nurse". I proceeded to do that and she said, "Well that looks like ringworm but let's have you go to the doctor". Idk what it is about me and the doctor on my mission but I go there quite often. I went to the doctor that helped me know my wrist was broken. Cool. He told me I might have Lyme disease and I'm like, "yay". jk not yay scary. So they took my blood and will let me know if I got Lyme haha sweet. I guess I'll let you know. What an exciting surprise. They say it’s from deer or something idk I don't get it. Wish me and my Lyme body good luck. 

Well big week see. Cool stuff. Lots happened and it was good times. Enjoy your week love you friends.

ว้าวผมรักMichael Bubléมากขึ้นทุกวัน  เนื่องจากหลังวันฮัลโลวีนผู้คนคิดว่าเป็นที่ยอมรับในการฟังเพลงคริสต์มาสดังนั้นไมเคิลจึงมาที่นี่อีกครั้ง

Wow I love Michael Bublé more every day. Since it's after Halloween people think it is acceptable to listen to Christmas music so Michael here I come once again. 

Here is the 3 of us. Meet Elder Slavens, meet Elder Story, meet Elder Mitchell. 

We love missionary work and Buffalo Wild Wings.

Hey what's up. I got my blood stolen. I didn't pass out. I hope I don't got Lyme.

Here is the cool circle thing I had. If you got one of these, good luck. You may have Lyme, or ringworm, 

or just a bite idk. 

Here we are taking a picture in the dark. This day our bike broke so we had to walk and it was cold. 

Yeah Arizona is freezing. Like once a week you need a sweater ugh.
