"Is this what it's always like?"

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have a spam, egg, and cheese sandwich, made by a Navajo! Elder Eltsosie had some spam and was talking up his spam sandwiches so we had him make us sandwiches after district council. Elder Freeze's mom sent him grandma sycamore bread so we were eating good.

It's been a good couple of days since I emailed last haha. On Saturday and Sunday we had a mini missionary with us, it was a real good time. His name was Derrick and he is a member up in Rockford and he is from Tanzania. He and his family came here 7 years ago, met the missionaries and got baptized. We had a lot of success with him, we found 2 new people and put 3 of the people we were teaching on date. In all of our lessons he bore some awesome testimony about the book of Mormon. The day started out rough tho haha we had a lesson cancel so we tracted for an hour and a half and literally no one opened the door. We were only able to talk to 3 people that were just out and about, it was brutal. Derrick said, "is this what it's always like?" Haha poor guy, luckily the rest of the time was a lot better so he got to see both sides of the work.

We found an awesome lady named Miriam  on Wednesday. We tracted into her and at first she was not having it, we started talking to her about her family and how much her two little kids mean to her. She then let us teach her the restoration and we set up a return appointment for Sunday. When we came back she was there with her cousin Mila and we taught them both. Miriam had read the pamphlet we gave her and asked a bunch of great questions. We put them both on date for July 20th!

Things are good in the burg! Have a great week!
