The Tale of.......YUCK!!!!

Hello family!!! How are y'all doing? I hope that y'all are having a great week! How is everyone doing? Is there anything new and/or exciting going on? How did you like the super bowl? Did it have any good commercials? I think that the sea hawks won right? I dont know because obviously I did not watch it. But I went to a super awesome party that I will tell y'all about shortly. But things have been picking up and we have found a few new investigators so thats awesome! I am so blessed that the lord has given me this chance to serve him here and to help so many of his children! So i guess that we will go in to the stories of the week. 

Story 1 The Tale of the Epic Super Bowl Party!!!!

Since I already mentioned this one I guess I will start with it. But I am sure that y'all knew that it was the super bowl on sunday. The only reason I knew was President sent out an email that told us not to watch it. Apparently there were a few people ( elders) who thought that it would be a good thing to do with there investigators. I guess that they just needed some clarification on that. But since we could not watch it there was this very kind member that said we could come to dinner were she would not be watching it. So we drive 20 miles out of town to go have dinner with her. Well it was very exciting, it was just me , Sister Johnson, and this sisters. We had a lovely dinner of pasta and walnut salad. We then had ice cream sunday's for deserts, and went home. So that was the extent of our Super Bowl extravaganza. 

Story 2 The Tale of The YouTube Missionaries. 

We got a refer l from mormon.org her name is Linda Payne. We stopped by to contact her and found that she is so prepared for the gospel. She was in the hospital for a few months and she heard about this awesome group named The Piano Guys. So she went to youtube and found some of there stuff. She said that she insistently loved them and wanted to go see them. She got tickets but it seemed like the advisory really did not want her to go. Because everything that could go wrong did, the flight was canceled, it snowed all the way to utah as they were driving. But in the end she made it and got to see the concert. While she was there she met a couple who are members. They exchanged info and this couple some how got John Schmidt to write Linda. She says that there is just something different about the Mormons and wants to know what it is! She is super busy for the next week or so but we will continue to teach her and I just know that she will join the church. 

Story 3 The Tale of How I Won Eternal Life

So I now have eternal life!!! Well actually it is really just a box of life with the words ETERNAL written above it. But still I won it by being the fastest scripture finder in the district! 

Yeah that the story, there really was no competition with how marked I have my scriptures. See the picture in the drop box to know why ;)    

Story 4

The Tale of.......YUCK!!!!

So here in New Mexico there is a very big Mexican influence here, especially in cooking. The other night we went to a members house for dinner. And she wanted to try a new dish called Manudo. We go over and she has two pots on the table, one with red sauce, the other with this whiteish meat. We sit down and I start with the red stuff, it was good but really spicy so I could not eat to much of it. Turns out that it was red chilly and pork so not to bad. So I go on to the other one, and turns out this is the Manudo. So I try it..... It was like eating tasteless fuzzy rubber. I almost vomited there at the table. The Spanish elders who were with us just started laughing at me. The asked if I knew what it was that I had just eaten, I say no and they laugh harder. They then proceed to tell me that Manudo is COW STOMACH!!!! I again almost vomited. I can know say that I have eaten the inside of a cow. YUCK!!!!!

Well that was my week, and the manudo was nasty, just in case you did not know. Also I attached a talk that I read and I really liked it. I think that y'all should read it because it was a real eye opener. And it has a analogy about a mom paying for piano lessons. Well I love y'all so much !!! Have a great week and I hope to hear from you soon!!!
