Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we went downtown and Elder Taggart and Elder Elton talked us into going to this authentic Puerto Rican place called Jibaritos Mas. We got these really good steak Jibaritos which is a sandwich with steak, lettuce, mayo, cheese, tomato, grilled onions and garlic all between two fried plantains. It was different but super good!
This week we had a killer zone conference with President Bingham. He told us he has been having insomnia and keeps waking up at 1am with revelation on "things he needs his missionaries to know before he leaves". So our zone conference started at 9:30am and ended at 6:00pm. It was packed with so much revelation it was amazing. President focused a lot on the signs of the times and how these really are the last days. He talked about how we have specifically been saved to live, and lead the Lord's church, in these last days. It was good, hard to explain, I feel like Nephi, I can't write all the things which were taught among my people.
We found a mom and son this week which was super cool. The Spanish elders knocked into the mom on Tuesday and she started crying saying that she had been praying for God to send help. So we went by that evening and had an awesome lesson, her name is Ellisette. She asked us if she could be baptized haha, that's the first time that's happened to me. Pretty cool. On Thursday we met with her and invited her son to join us and he did. He is a stud, 19 yr old. He has never been baptized and wants to be baptized with his mom. He is also coming to play basketball with us today!
I had a blast today, got to go down to the city. Elder Freeze wanted to buy a backpack, so we went to the chrome store and met up with some of my long time mission homies Elder Taggart, Elder Elton, Elder Stewart, and Elder Parkinson. Some good times catching up with the boys. Lots of laughs. Life is always so good!
