Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we've got probably the best popsicle I've ever had! Elder Ward and I were at the church doing weekly planning and of course we had to check the fridge/ freezer. There were 2 white popsicles in there with no label on them. We figured we would give em a shot. They were coconut and they were fantastic! They had bits of coconut in them and man, good stuff! Shout out to whoever left them in the freezer!
This week was not the usual week for missionary work. With this trial coming to a close everyone was expecting riots in the Southside! The police had sent out the projected area for the riots and it was all our area, so President Bingham shipped us out of our area and we spent a couple days staying at the other elders apartment. On Friday he told us we weren't allowed to go out, luckily we had MLC which took up most of the day. The rest of the weekend we just had to be inside by 7pm, so with conference we didn't have much time to proselyte.
Luckily the cop got convicted and there weren't any riots so we are back in the Southside! General Conference was awesome as usual, talk about a spiritual high! I had a couple favorite talks, President Oaks talk about marriage and gender was money! Elder Holland's talk about not being offended was good, and well needed!
One pretty cool experience we had this week was one day while we were contacting, we stopped to send a text and this lady just walks up to us and asked us if we could give her a bible! We didn't have one with us so we set up a time Sunday night to deliver it. When we delivered it she invited us in and we were able to teach her, and her two friends that live with her! They didn't have any furniture in the house so we just sat on the floor...super humble circumstances. We taught them about prayer and then we each said a prayer, they loved it! They all said they felt so much better! Like Elder Gay taught, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to true and lasting happiness!
