Weekly update for September 4th -10th
''It was a good week full of work in the Lords vineyard!
I was able to go to New City, New York on an exchange with a Haitian elder named Elder John Baptist. He now goes home in 1 week. I was his last exchange and we had a great time. Most of the lessons were in French or Creole, so I had no idea what was going on. So, I just sat there and smiled :). For personal study the next day we went to the church. But, when we came out Elder Baptists car, it was dead.... we had to wait 1 hour for other Sister missionaries to bring us jumper cables... that was one for the books.
School just started here so I got to give a few kids school blessings... they didn't have fathers who were in the church... it really helped me realize how blessed I was to be raised in a house where I had a worthy Priesthood holder as a father. It motivated me even more to make sure I'm a worthy priesthood holder to my future family.
A member asked us to help them move this week. He said it was a couple things... 4 1/2 hours later, we had unloaded his whole entire house into a moving truck. He wasn't even pre-packed... I'm glad I was able to do some service tho. Just an FYI, If you ever need help moving, BE READY AND PACKED! hahha
Elder Diewald was pretty wiped out after.
Some guys selling elotes (the corn from Nacho Libre. The one that he throws in that guys eye, yes that very corn). The seller gave Elder Diewald and I free elotes! He was a true homie! Elotes are the "Da Best". Said in my best Nacho Libre accent.
On Saturday a member took us out to a really nice Peruvian sea food restaurant and got us a giant pile of fried sea food! It was delicious! I miss good fish. Then later that night a Colombian member took us out to eat Colombian food. The meal was called a bandeja paisa. Delicious as well! People wonder how missionaries gain weight... now you know.

Well that's all the story worthy stuff that happened this week. My invitation to you all this week is to not just read from the Book of Mormon daily but to study the Book of Mormon! It will change your life. I love you all and feel all your love and support! Oh yeah I only have 10 months from today. 10 months left! Time flies.
Don't forget to send me mail too. I love getting letters from home!
