Elder, is this Wine?......

Coconut Milk :)

Monday was a pretty normal Monday. Washing, cleaning, shopping, the works. Sister Adreana had us over, and she gave us a massive bowl of Fufu with a ton of fish... Man I nearly busted it was so much. Thankfully we were able to sit small afterward so that we could begin the digestion process. :)

Tuesday morning I changed up my workout, and it just wrecked me, but it's good. :) Elder Tauveli gave a good instruction on Leadership. He related missionary work to fishing. How when we fish, we need to give the fish what the fish want, not what we want. If we start throwing in steak and ice cream we're not going to catch anything. We need to give them the flies and spinners. Same thing applies to those that we are trying to find. If we want to bring in people that are looking for the true gospel, the gospel that teaches everything Christ did, then we should be as Christ is. Being obedient will bring in those that are looking for that. Being rude and disobedient will bring in those that want that too. I loved the analogy. :)

Wednesday was pretty bombin. I took Elder Bay home Tuesday night to begin our exchange. So all of Wednesday we were together. It was so nice to be able to spend a whole day with someone that you grew up with (on mission). Lucy gave us some awful porage..... but then Millicent gave us some killer stew. It was soooo nice. She also gave us some sobolo which smelled a lot like wine..... and it tasted great! ;) She said that she has never bought wine. ~ She's a member from birth so we trust her. :)

Thursday morning was so nice. I pumped out 245 push ups in just 4 sets!

Not too many people were around, so we took Edward and went to Anoe. I just wish that more of our investigators were serious. That's an ever present goal, find serious people.... And man, that is a quest.

Proselyting with Ema (Ima)

Friday was Farmers day!!!! Which means no one was home..... On a normal day we go out and only find the Adults, but today we were only finding youth, and they aren't usually serious. In the evening we went and helped the Asares prepare cakes and chicken for a funeral. I was on mixing duty..... We started with Margarine and Sugar, and I was supposed to stir until it became nearly white.... HOW ON EARTH IS SOMETHING SO YELLOW SUPPOSED TO BECOME NEARLY WHITE!?!?!?! My wrists and shoulders were destroyed.... but I did it!

Saturday started good, but Elder Williams got super sick during personal study. So we stayed in the whole day. I did my best to stay productive. Elder Bay and Tauveli came for a little bit to do a tiny exchange so that we could get the drinks for the activity on Monday. 13 liters is heavy stuff...... Transfer news came..... and both of us are staying for another one! For some reason I felt like I was going, but I'm so glad that I'm staying for another one. :)

Sunday was much of the same. We went to church for the first 2 hours, but then went home because Elder Williams was just feeling terrible. Organized the house and read my scriptures. A pretty mixed week, but it was good. :)
