That's true except for Burger king Whoppers. Ha ha.
Last week on Monday we bought the zone Whoppers, cause we're cool like that and Plus the BK said 99 cent whoppers, Who could pass up a deal like that? So we bought 20! Yum. Monday evening we were able to meet a wonderful woman and her family and teach them In Spanish. It was so fun!
Tuesday, We were visited by Elder Gibbins from the 70. So cool. It was such a spiritual boost. He talked a bit about teaching doctrine and then principles and then application. Great stuff. We had a wonderful lesson with this one girl. She is having a little bit of trouble living the word of wisdom (Abstaining from Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs, Tea, and Coffee) So I made her a deal. She gives up the stuff she's working on and I'll give up Ketchup. It's a month experiment. So, yeah... It's gonna be hard. AND You had JUST sent me a Bag of Ketchup Potato Chips too, ma. The Irony of it all is amazing,
Wed. We taught a lovely man in Spanish, and he's pretty interested. We also we able to teach a young man who is getting ready for Bap. and This one guy who Is soooo cool! He had gone to church with his friend and he attended for a while and then he had a wonderful spiritual experience while playing a musical number in sacrament and He's soooo Cool. He's going to get baptized over the Christmas break back at his home ward. And in the evening we Were able to teach this one Spanish man who's door we knocked. My Spanish is sooo bad. I Just hope that the people can under stand me. If I don't have the gift of tongues I hope that they get the Gift of interpretation of tongues. ;)
Thursday I went on exchanges with the Assistants to the president. I learned a lot. Mostly about my self. We taught this one lesson to these people at an old folks home. So fun. We just talked about prayer. Man lots of tangents. "My Pant size is 42/42!" -Ok... that's a great reason why we pray... any body else?
Friday was... Friday. Lot's planning. We had an interesting dinner with some members. At the end there was a knock on the door and one of the yard workers or something was there and so we invited him in and introduced what the Book of Mormon is to him. Cool stuff. You meet people in the strangest places. I wish that it was like that more often. People knocking on our door wanting to learn more Instead of Us knocking on their door asking if they want to learn. What would the world be like...?
Saturday We met with one of our friends who is a bit stressed out. Because he wasn't able to get to the library in time before it closed so he could get some ASVAB books so he could study up and pass the test on Tuesday. I guess he thought that would be enough time to study... What ever. And we met with Our Boxer friend and shared a cool visual with him about not letting the other things in the world drown out the spirit.
Sunday, Was a really cool Sunday. Each of the three parts of church turned out to be on the Holy Ghost. Way cool because we had two people there at church who are preparing to be baptized next Saturday! So it was very fitting to talk about the spirit. And we had a wonderful lesson in the evening in Spanish, and we told the story of how Nephi got the records of his people from Laban too these kids who were hanging out in a hallway who were telling stories and we asked if we could tell a story that was a true story. It was fun. They liked how Nephi was like a Ninja sneaking into the city by night and stuff. Cool beans.
and then we're at today!
Thanks for being Awesome! Hope you have a great week!
