Hey gang! This week on #whatmysnack we have some good ol Shish kabob! A member took us to a place called Pita House. Some Mediterranean restaurant. I was totally picturing the shish kabob to be on a skewer but when it came out it was just chillin on rice! It was super good though!
What a week out here in the frozen tundra! We survived the polar vortex, it was crazy though! Wednesday and Thursday it got down to -25 degrees!! With the wind chill it was -50! Pretty crazy. All of the members and the people we were teaching were telling us we can't leave the apartment or we would die haha. Some missionaries were asking what we were supposed to do and President Bingham being the savage that he is said, "this is the work of salvation, not baseball, we don't have weather delays!" Nevertheless we were wise.
We found an awesome new Nigerian couple this week, unfortunately they are from a different tribe in Nigeria so I can't speak Yoruba to them. Their names are C and P, talk about a couple made in heaven. And they have a 5 year old daughter named A who is always jumping on the couch running around doing flips and what not. They are super solid though and are reading the book of Mormon, we are pumped to teach them!
Life is good and no longer cold, it's 50 degrees today and the 10 inches of snow we got last week is almost all melted. The work of the Lord continues to progress and I'm grateful for the opportunity I have to be an instrument in the Lord's hand to Bring salvation to his children! I hope y'all have a great week!
