ok funny story time...
1...This week in one of our best lessons with Jorge and investigator(Hermano Varner)...I tell him I have a special scripture that will answer his question. I grab my libro and open it ... just then a butter knife falls out of my scriptures onto the floor hahahah we all look at each other trying to keep the spirit of the lesson present . Our district is always hiding silverware in eachothers stuff haha its so funny ... this time is was Elder J who was the one who hid it there literally five min berfore our lesson! haha it was so funny!
2... In the lunch room we always get seconds... Elder B goes to get another hotdog but they serve two at a time so he asks the lady (extra large woman) if he could only have one hot dog. she whips her head at him surprised and says in a manly voice "just one hot dog" hahaha that has been the line of the week love it!

alright spiritual stuff....
1... Today I did more initiatories and I remembered to do the family names you gave me it was so awesome... such a different feeling when they are your names .... FAMILY do family history dont rely on grandma, DO IT! you will love it and will be blessed for it.
2...Last nights devotional was awesome the speaker works for some admin MTC stuff idk but the first presidency told him that in order to keep our converts to stay strong, we as missionaries need to teach .... the LAW OF TITHING it is so important we need to explain it as the blessing and gift it is . Sometimes missionaries get scared to teach commandment cuz they think their investigators will fall away. If they are taught the importance/ blessings/ how great these things are ... they will do anything to follow those laws! This is talking about building the kingdom of God folks DO IT! ahaha "we dont pay our tithing with money, we pay our tithing with Faith" Hinkley
3... Elder L. Lionel Kendrick spoke last Tuesday. He has taught us "you are set apart to succeed not just to serve ther is a difference form serving time and serving the lord ... serving time is what men in prison do hahaha" he taught more about that. It was so sweet. I loved it pretty much I need to "wake up everymorning and ask how am I gunna do it all today [I am] serving the lord if I am asking what am I gunna do today I am serving time"
