Hey Gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have pan fried tilapia and rice! This is what we eat whenever we get tired of chicken and rice haha. I've literally eaten rice every single day this transfer, it's great. The tilapia is pretty good, not gonna lie, we season it with Adobo and lemon pepper. Then we add some sweet baby rays to give it that extra umph!
We had another great week in the hood! On Wednesday and Thursday we had back to back exchanges, which kinda sucked, I didn't see elder Noble for 2 days. On Wednesday elder Romm and I worked here in Hyde Park and had a GT. Then on Thursday we had our exchanges with the AP's which was super dope. Elder Tavenner came down and spent the day with me, he's a stud! We are very similar and had a real good time together. We had a ton of super good contacts, a couple solid lessons, I learned a ton from him, and we talked a lot about our boy Chance The Rapper! It was fitting as we contacted up and down 79th!
Our investigators are doing great, the Bellos are super ready and excited for the baptism. We met with Bola and taught her about tithing and she is more than willing to accept it. She even told us about some of the tithing blessings she has received in the past from paying tithing and bore her testimony about it, it was awesome. We met with Dayo and Falawami, Falahomi wasn't there bc he had football weigh ins, boy did that remind me of the good ol days in Springville youth football! They also are solid and ready for baptism. Abiola and Ibukun and their family are still on the edge if they will be baptised with everyone else on September 1st. Abiola and the kids all understand and want to be baptised, but Ibukun says he has already been baptised. So yesterday during priesthood we took Ibukun into a classroom and had a little lesson with him. We had invited him before to pray to know if he needed to be baptised by proper authority, but he told us he hadn't had the chance yet. He also used the excuse that he had to work the day of the baptism. So we taught him more about the proper authority and how it is only found in this church. We bore our testimonies to him and then the 3 of us knelt in prayer as he prayed and asked God if baptism by proper authority is what he needed to do. It was a straight up miracle, after the prayer Ibukun told us that on wednesday he is going to ask his boss for work off on September 1st so that he can get baptised with his family!! It's so amazing to see how much the restored gospel of Jesus Christ blesses the lives of every single person who accepts it! Multiple times this week I got to testified to people about how much it has blessed my life and how I know that it will bless theirs!
Pretty crazy I hit my 1 year mark this week, time is flying by for sure! Elder Bingham also hit his one year mark so he and elder Spahr came over and we had dinner together then we had the ceramonial burning of the shirt on the roof of our apartment building. It was a good time! Im lovin the mish and lovin life, hope y'all have a great week!
