"Highlight of the week, and probably of my mission"...

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have our break-the-fast feast! We made some dang good cheesy garlic potatoes, stuffing, Cesar salad, and pork chops! Thanksgiving came early this year! 

Super good week in Hyde Park! On Tuesday we got to go to the Temple for a session! I had not been in the temple for the last 15 months and boy was it good to be back!! Pretty much our whole zone went together and we all had members take us up. The Chicago Temple is awesome! It was really last minute that we officially were able to go to the temple and so we had to only take half a P-day last week. It was awesome tho, we taught tons of lessons and had a super successful week! 

On Wednesday we had a pretty cool opportunity. We got a call from a girl who is going to the University of Chicago, she told us she is writing a paper for sociology about us missionaries and she wanted to interview us! So we did it! It was awesome, she asked a ton of really good questions about our experiences as missionaries and we were able to testify to her a ton and the spirit was super strong! At the end of the interview She said she is interested In learning more about the additional scriptures that we have! She was super nice and we feel like she has some solid potential! Pretty cool!

By far the highlight of the week, and probably of my mission, was on Saturday we got to go back to the temple for our recent convert temple trip! So cool to see the Nigerians go from font to font! All of the men were able to baptize too, dang it was so cool!! The coolest moment for me was when Dami Bello was baptizing his mom! As I sat there and watched it, the spirit hit me so hard, there was no other place that I would rather be!  It's been amazing to see the progress that they have all made, I love these people so much!!
