Hello everyone!
So my first week in Clarksville has been pretty fun. It is
so different from Nashville. I cannot tell if it is a small town or a city. It
is kind of both at the same time. The people here are great and the members are
awesome. We actually got fed dinner more than once last week! (Seven days to be
precise). Also we now have a two story house, though it is still much cheaper
than Nashville. I must admit I'm not actually a fan of large houses. I lose
elder McKown all the time. There are so many places to go you can almost never
see each other all morning. Also, there is so much more to try and keep clean
with all the extra closets and drawers to throw stuff. Believe it or not, I
actually really like small houses a lot more. They are cleaner and friendlier.
I'll just add that information to my future ideas folder. Right next to the 100,000
reasons to never ever, not at all, without exception, no excuses, no not ever
own a dog file.
Speaking of animals, I met some people who rescue bunnies.
They have an entire yard full of bunnies taken from abusive homes. There were
so many! Probably the cutest thing ever. On top of that they had about thirty
bunny statues on their front path and bunny paintings in their home. That can
go in the future ideas file too.
So one of the cool parts about being a zone leader is that
we have a full time car (for exchanges and occasional rescuing, chastising,
and/or babysitting the other elders). However, it is not your normal 4 door
missionary sedan. Neither is it the epic 12 foot truck the assistants to the
president drive. Better than all these, we have the one and only mom van. That
is right. Your amazingly useful 7 passenger dodge minivan with automatic doors.
Have you ever seen anything as cool as two 19 year olds pulling up to church on
Sunday looking sharper than the b scale in a minivan? Then we grab our bags
from the back and walk away as the automatic sliding doors slowly close
themselves. All of the moms in the ward are jealous.
On a side note, here is elder McKown (Mic-Cow-en).

He is going home next transfer. This is the second time I
get to kill a missionary off. However, this companion is still working hard and
enjoying his mission. I am very glad to be learning from him.
Last thing, we found the two coolest lightsabers I have ever
seen in the apartment closet. I don't know where you buy these things or how
much they cost, but I need them. I am buying two for Nick and I and we will
kill each other next November. It will be awesome. Anyway here take a look. Unfortunately
I did not get anyone to duel with me so you don't get to see the red one or
hear the fantastic collision noises. However, just know that these are the
coolest things ever.
I hope you all have an amazing week! I love you guys :)
Elder Basham
