Hump Week!

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have the one and only Raisin Canes! Nothin quite like some canes fried chicken! Still not sure why Utah doesn't have one, they need to get on that!  We had some time before we were gonna go play ball on Monday so we decided to treat ourselves!

On Tuesday we had zone conference and it was money, we gave some dope trainings and enlightened the zone. President Bingham as usual dropped some fire on us via el libro de Mormón. He shared some stuff from Joseph Smith's writings and compared it to the Book of Mormon. It was amazing the only way to explain it is, el libro de Mormon es verdad!! After zone conference we were supposed to have a stake MCM with our stake President and President Bingham. We waited for like 20 minutes and the stake President never showed so we stayed for a little bit and talked with President Bingham, it was legit, that man is amazing! Then he took some dope pics of us on his new IPhone haha.

Our Nigerian families are all doing awesome! We were able to meet with them all this week and they all came to church! We met with B and taught her the word of wisdom. She has so much faith, she didn't quite understand why we couldn't have tea and she had just barely bought some really expensive tea and had it shipped to her from Nigeria to help with weight loss. Despite not fully understanding why, she has faith that it's from a prophet of God so she got rid of it!!

This weekend we were contacting by la Fruteria, which is an African market. We always street contact there because it's loaded with Nigerians. We were walking down the street and a Nigerian man came up to us and asked if we were the latter day saints. He told us he got to America 2 months ago and before he left Nigeria his mormon friend took him to church. But when he came to America he didn't know how to contact the church, then he ran into us! And lo and behold his name is Noble!! Talk about Divine Design!!

Love and miss y'all, read the book of mormon every day! It will change your life!!
