"I'm sure the answer is somewhere in the Book of Mormon..."

We're starting week 5 of the transfer! Everyone keeps saying how fast time is going, and I'd have to agree.

We have a LOT to do in a short amount of time, and in addition to that we keep getting dragged out of our area for meetings and things.  

So with the time that we DO have in our area, we'll be working double time all week again.  So that'll be fun at least.  

Elder S's highlight of the week was definitely a service project at our first counselor's house, wherein we were breaking down a shed.  We gave him a sledgehammer. I've never seen a child so happy.

Our new boy, Elder T, gave a talk in Sacrament meeting.  He loves talking, it's pretty funny haha.  He did a good job though, I think he's still trying to adjust to the mainland.  

I, along with a handful of other missionaries, collect quotes from our beloved President Weaver.  Here's a new one from this week (on the subject of car accidents in the past couple weeks) "Like 7 of them have been with Immovable Objects!  That don't move!"  

It's better if you see it with his facial expression and hand gestures.  He just can't for the life of him figure out why missionaries keep running into stationary objects haha.

Does anyone know what tarragon is?  I keep putting it in my spaghetti sauce, because I found it in the cupboards, and it makes me feel like a culinary genius.    Which I clearly am.  I also put basil in the pot when I'm boiling my noodles, and if nothing else, it definitely adds to the placebo effect of the whole ordeal.  

Having spaghetti in the mission field is a lot like having the spaghetti Dad makes- except I have to make it myself, and it doesn't taste as good.  But on the bright side it is definitely an adventure every day, I have no idea what 's going to happen next!  I also upgraded this past week, and invested in garlic bread.  This side-venture seems to be going quite well, except I haven't figured out how to make the outside crisp, but the inside not way too crunchy.  I'm sure the answer is somewhere in the Book of Mormon, but I haven't found it yet.  I'll be scouring the Isaiah chapters next.

well...... I guess I'll see you next week!
