"Pretty sweet stuff" this week...

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have some authentic Nigerian food! Sister Bello filled up our plates for us and said we had to eat it all... It definitely wasn't the best thing I've ever had lol it tasted pretty gross not gonna lie. We choked it down. It was pounded yam, some type of fish, and some spinach/pepper stuff pretty nasty. But we ate it!

So we were having a lesson with the Bello family and a Nigerian lady, who always brings her daughter over for the Bellos to babysit, tells us it's her daughter's birthday and we are invited to the party. Then she went out and came back in carrying cases of Heineken. She just kept going back and forth and probably brought in 12 cases of alcohol! So of course we went and it was bumpin! They had a DJ with some massive speakers, a bounce house for the kids and About 50 Nigerians showed up! We got to talk to a bunch of them, I'm sure they were like why the heck are these white guys here haha It was LIT! 

Earlier in the week we were at the Quezada's for dinner. They are such a fun family and they make dang good Mexican food! They have 5 daughters and they are super funny, it's always a good time there. After dinner and our lesson sister Quezada asked us if we could give the girls preisthood blessings for the start of the school year. It was such a cool experience! Brother Quezada has been inactive for a little while and it really had an impact on him because after we blessed the girls he asked us for a blessing also, to "help him get back on the path". Pretty sweet stuff. 

It was a pretty good week, we also had MLC on Friday and President Bingham dropped some fire as usual, gotta love that guy. Life is good and the church is true!!
