"Of course baby, we don't see color!!"

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have the orange chicken Friday lunch special from see thru Chinese kitchen! This is some good stuff! Probably not that good for ya, but it tastes delicious. It's only $6 for a ton of food, we can only eat half of it so it feeds us for two meals!! Its a dang good deal, Classic orange chicken with a boat load of shrimp fried rice, an egg roll, and of course a fortune cookie! What more could ya ask for?

This week was real good. We had zone conference on Tuesday which was bumpin, after wards we had stake MCM so we were at the stake center all day. From 8:45am to 8:00pm! It kinda stinks taking a whole day out of proselyting but President Bingham taught us some good stuff! He had a missionary ask him, "why don't we acknowledge that Joseph smith was a very flawed person?" He based his whole zone conference talk on that and how Joseph smith was NOT a very flawed person! He taught us more about the little details of his life and all the awful stuff that he and the saints went through.  It was super powerful and the spirit definitely testified once again to me that Joseph Smith truly is a prophet of God!

We found the coolest family this week! They came to the haunted house a few weeks ago and we were finally able to get in contact with them. It's a mom (Nicole) and her two kids (Serenity & David). Nicole has been really looking for a home church and she had a dream where God told her she needed to increase her knowledge of the gospel. The churches here that she had been going to just weren't doing it for her. Then we called her up! We met with them 3 times this week and they love it so much! She says that we are giving her the knew knowledge that she needs! We met last night and had an awesome lesson and they accepted to be baptized, not David though, bc he is only 7. Afterwards Nicole said, "alright let's set our schedule for next week, we can meet tomorrow night, Wednesday night... Oh and what are you guys doing for thanksgiving?" Haha she invited us to come eat with her whole family. We asked if she was sure that would be okay with the rest of her family to which she responded, "of course baby, we don't see color!!" Lol it should be a good time!

Oladele and Nifesimi both spoke in sacrament meeting about their experience at the temple and it was so awesome!! All of these Nigerian recent converts continue to amaze me in their conversion and faith in our Savior! I hope you all have a great week!
