Jury, Judges

Hi everyone,

This week really flew by.

On Tuesday we woke up in Texarkana cause we were going to do some service at the food bank. It was fun, we got to create bags with meals in them. Each one had a lot of different things in it. We went along the table putting one of each thing in each bag and by the end we were going at a rate of at least 15 bpm (bags per minute). It was really fun to talk to all the Elders and Sisters in our district while we did this!

Wednesday was pretty normal, we got to teach a couple of lessons. In one of our lessons we invited a lady to pray about Baptism and hopefully we can put her on date this week! The other lesson went veryyyyyy long cause we were teaching a talker haha--it was fun though, we will soon be inviting him to church once he has read more in the Book of Mormon.

On Thursday we had zone conference so we had to drive up to Shreveport. I think our miles are shot now, oh well :)

We listened to talks on the way there which was awesome. Zone conference was fun, we got to talk to a ton of other missionaries. We had baked potatoes which were really yummy but they perhaps needed a pinch of cumin and a touch of cilantro oil to spice them up a bit.

On Friday it snowed! Which is really rare here. Snow is as valuable as gold here, we may start using it as currency once gas prices get too high. Which is right now :)

We did some stopbys on Friday which was awesome cause evn though it was cold we always got to relax in the warm car between each one.

Saturday I got to walk around with my Book of Mormon in an awesome case that my mom made me! I will never go without it now I think cause it makes me cooler. And people have already commented on it a lot.

We also taught someone from a pmf this week and we will probably put him on date next week cause he is really progressing well!! He's also at church every week.

Sunday I gave a talk and it was so good that I am now the stake president! (Just joking it was probably my weakest talk since I don't have my personal editor [my mom] anymore haha). I also blessed the sacrament cause the priests slept in tsk tsk

I will attach a picture of my district, we are about to have a nerf war so you may not hear from me again...
