Hello Family!
how is everyone doing? i hope good.
This week has been basically the same as all the others haha. just trying to keep busy. We saw a lot of members and they are awesome! its a lot of fun to be in the homes of people who are living the gospel and love it. We had a couple rendezvous that we ate in and the food is still good here haha! Another rendezvous that we had we werent really expecting to eat but we got over and the Member had invited a couple of New members, another Member, and a friend of his. It is really cool to see that the ward is trying to strengthen each other, and help others to see find the Truth, and love and joy we have. (he might be trying to find a wife too haha! but thats not important)
The Fourth of July was this weekend too! it was a lot of fun and we started off the celebration with a little football throwing in the morning for exercises. after that we had French Toast (a TON) for breakfast and then Pizza for Lunch. Of course we worked and stuff in the inbetween time, but we also sang all the Patriotic songs in the Hymn book and did all sorts of stuff like that. For dinner we had a FEAST! it was great. We had Hamburgers, Potato Salad, Deviled eggs, doritos, these scone things that our neighbor gave us, and Sprite and Fantas. It was great. .... then i got sick haha! which i guess you could say ended the Night off with fireworks.. (that wasnt very funny i know...) I guess that when you eat so many eggs in one day your likely to get food poisoning (thats what we figured it was at least). Anyways so i got up like 6 or 7 times during the night to use the bathroom and throw up and stuff it was fun... Which kind of made it so i wasnt feeling so good so i had to stay in the apartment all day sunday. (i guess i could have gone out, but that would have been risky you know?) so it was fun. i'm okay now though, i got to eat a little last night and i didnt have to wake up in the middle of the night for anything so i think its all done.
Thats basically been the week. My fellow missionaries tell me that i talk a lot in my sleep and so i was wondering if you ever noticed me doing that before or if its something i picked up on the Mission. I wouldnt be suprised... Just kind of weird.
Lets see. I Think thats about it... no wait i forgot another interesting detail about our Holiday celebration. we decided to see who could gain the most weight in the one day because we knew that we'd be eating a LOT that day. so in the morning we weighed ourselves.... I was at 181 i believe anyways. so at the end of the night right after diner (before i got sick) we weighed in and we basically all tied (except elder Diffrient) and we all gain 5 pounds. so i was at 186... the next morning when i woke up...well the last time at least. i decided that i would weigh myself and i was at 178.... crazy huh? i thought it was funny...
So one thing that i learned this week from studying the Book of Mormon is that Nephi is SOOO cool. I mean, I knew that already, but still it is just great to read and see the confidence that Nephi has in the Lord, and the Strength that the Lord gives him because of it. Its really cool.
Also i read a few of the conference talks (i got the ensign you sent), oh side note, enseigner is the verb in french meaning to teach, cool huh?, anyways I know that the leaders of the church are inspired greatly and that each of the messages given during conference can apply to us. Its such a comfort to know that there are people on the earth that are receiving revelation for us all and better yet, that God is giving it to us. I know that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
I love you all! Have a great week!
