Conference

Well conference was super good.  The only bad thing was that our bishop was telling us the whole week that he had made accommodations for us to use our meetinghouse to watch conference and that it would start at 10.  Meanwhile the other elders in our district had it scheduled at 9 for their ward at the stake center.  So Saturday morning we get up and go to our meetinghouse at 10 and its locked..... and so we go to the stake center and we were an hour late for the first session. So that sucked but no problem.  Today, I'm downloading all the talks haha.  But the rest of the conference was amazing. Super spiritual and even provided me with answers I had to questions going into it.  My favorite talk was the one by Callister about the Book of Mormon where he just destroys every false idea about it hahaha it was so dope.

So something dope happened this week!  Tuesday night the assistants called us and told us that Wednesday morning we would be getting another missionary to be with us to make us a three some.   So for this week and the next week, we will have Elder Petersen with us while he waits for his trainee to get here.  And this guy is straight poly from New Zealand and we are bros already.  We're always singing poly music together its dope.  He told me he's adopting me to the group of islanders out here. hahaha which is almost as cool as an African calling you nigga. So thats dope.  He's the chillest dude ever and its cool to work with two other guys.

We had pretty good progress with Pride this week!  We taught him again and he had already read some in the Book of Mormon and he had a couple questions about the restoration but he was content with the answers we gave him.  His mother also sat in with us and we could tell she is very knowledgeable of the scriptures but she was pretty receptive of the message and she even thanked us for everything we taught her and was excited for us to come again!   Pride was also asking really good questions and even had one that stumped me at first but i remember the scripture that tells us to open our mouths and they will be filled so I just went for it and very soon I was able to give him a pretty good answer to the question!  It was pretty cool to experience that.    Pride is hilarious too. He loves joking and speaks perfect english so we love joking with him its dope.

So we are baptizing this young blood named Future next week and he is so chill and he has a friend named Junior who started joining us so we gave him a restoration pamphlet and at our next appointment with Future,  Junior said he read the whole pamphlet and he was asking super good questions so we ended up teaching him the whole thing and he liked the message a lot! It was cool! We are thinking about giving him a date this next week! Including him, we would then have 7 people on date! Loving this area.

So there's this less active recent convert in our area named Gift and he's legit a rapper and is the funniest dude ever. He speaks amazing english and even freestyled a bar for us when we visited him and he was the best I've heard here haha it was sick. Hopefully we can get him back to church though. He also introduced us to this new fruit and it was crazy.  So its like this baseball size thing that is harder than fetch so you have so slam that thing on the ground and crack it open and then you eat this slimy brain looking stuff inside but it is my new favorite fruit hahaha its soooooo good. I have 0 idea what that stuff is called but we bought like 6 of them to eat that night hahaha. I'll try to get some more this week to send pictures to you.

Well thats all I got.  I love you all and hope you had a good week and enjoyed conference!  Its so much more exciting out here that it was back home hahaha.  Anyways

Stay Steady Grindin'
