Week 50 - Bad BBQ

The Fair

So this was pretty much the big part of this past week... for some good reasons but also for some bad ones. So I'll start with the good ones. We got to go to a little bit of the fair! So that was fun! It was cool to get to go see and all the "fun" stuff that all of these chowchilleans have. It's totally a farming town out here! But we got to eat the BBQ there. They made brisket... bad choice. I was a total snob! Not to anyones face... but it wasn't even close up to par. Okay, it just wasn't very good in general. But the experience was fun. It was cool to be able to experience that and such. Plus we got some good contacts while we were there. It was nice. So the bad parts. I got a little sunburned.. so that was nice. But the real thing that was kinda hard was the fact that for 4 days there was NO ONE HOME!!! haha everyone was at the fair so it was super hard to do any missionary work. So we were a little bit frustrated. But Heavenly Father still led us to where we needed to go and we were able to get some good work done. I'll send pictures of the parade and stuff!

VANESSA WENT TO THE TEMPLE!!

So Vanessa, Ricardo's wife, went to the temple and took out her endowments!!! It was so exciting :D It's so cool to be able to watch these people go through these things and progress. It's truly a blessing to be a part of their lives and get to experience this stuff with them. So that was super awesome!

Black Jesus

So yeah.. this was a legitimate thing that I had to explain.. in depth. That was weird. We had a couple of investigators who, being of African American decent, were arguing that Jesus is and was black. But we pretty much just responded saying, well... if you read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and come to know that it is true than you will know that Joseph Smith saw Jesus Christ and said that he was well.. white. So yeah.

Sad Day With Salina

So she pretty much told us that she doesn't really want us to come by anymore. She is pretty content with where she's gotten to. She is happy the progress she's made and doesn't really want to go any farther. It's super hard.... and kind of frustrating but I know that we have planted good seeds and that one day she'll be able to find the full truth! But that's kind of where we are with her :(

Hope y'all have an amazing week and I love y'all sooo much :)

Love,
