Food =P

Whoooooow P-day!!! Hola mi amigos!! We had some fun times this week:

1. We were eating lunch at a members house last thursday, and she put out a plate of sliced peppers. Having 8 months in the mission, I was sure I would be fine eating them, so I took a big slice that had a lot of seeds on it not even thinking about it and quickly put it into my mouth. Hehe ya I dont think I have cried so hard at a meal before, haha that is when they told me the seeds were the hottest part -_- and then they gave me soda to drink because thats all they have here, haha didn't help! But I am still alive! =P

2. We are teaching a family right now, that is just incredible and amazing. They invited us to eat dinner with them after one of our lessons, my companion and I didn't really want to because we just got done eating a big meal with a member and were already full, but we accepted, because we didn't want to be rude. So some how I stuffed down a plate of re fried beans and meat and was completely full.

And the dad of the family asked if I wanted more, I told him no and that I was full. But he doesn't take no for an answer, and grabbed my plate and filled with re fried beans and meat. Ahhhh, I honestly don't know how we ate it all! That's the fullest I have been in my life XP then after the meal he gave us a bunch of fruit (mangoes, oranges, bananas) to take home haha my companion asked me
"did you pray for food?"

me: "haha, no I'm pretty sure this is a sign from God that I need to eat healthier" XP

3. We had ward conference this Sunday which was pretty fun =) All the missionaries had to sing in the choir, which actually sounded really good =D

Most of the talks that were given Sunday were about The Sabbeth day and how it connects to our faith in God. If you think about it, when we attend church, it is an act of faith. It is an act of faith that we will receive personal revelation from the talks or the classes that we attend. Another act of faith is repentance, which really is a beautiful thing. It give us the opportunity too look at ourselves clearly and show us all the things we can do to be better people and to live better lives, it is a change of our thoughts and actions and a part of the repentance is the sacrament. When we partake of the sacrament we become clean of sin and we have the opportunity to start fresh again. Which leads back to attending church, one of the ten commandments of God. I know God gives us commandments not to restrict us, but to benefit us. When we obey His commandments we are free of unnecessary burdens, and live happier lives because we have the opportunity to receive the fullness of His blessings.

How amazing is this Gospel!! Love it more and more everyday!!

I love you all!!
