Una semana mas hasta translados

Hola mi familia y amigos,

Como siempre este semana fue llenado con bendiciones y historias. I’m going to switch things up just a little bit and tell about some of the things missionaries do when there is a little bit of spare time. Haha this week in that bit of time I was privileged to see the battle of the century, the battle between two champions, the battle to gain all the honor and prestige in Louisiana... the battle of the Pancake. Yep for lunch one day we decided to go to Denny’s and get the all you can eat pancakes. My comp Elder McCormies and Elder Tuttle went head to head to see who could eat the most. Before I get into the battle real quick: Elder McCormies is the 5'10" 175 pound pancake champion of Thacher Arizona, who challenged the 6'4" 225 pound Elder Tuttle who destroyed everyone in Orangeville Utah by eating a surprising 20 pancakes at a family reunion. Haha, my comp had no idea what he was getting himself into.  They battled for ten pancakes and once Elder McCormies started to turn green and stopped Elder Tuttle ate one more just to prove his dominance. And there we go, the battle of the century. Haha.  In other missionary life news we had a great match of mattress wrestling and nerf wars in the apartment. So there you have it, missionary life when the work is done for the day.

Now let us get into the rest of the week; the highlight of the week this week was when we visited our investigators J and A, they are both from Honduras and have 3 super cute kids. We taught them about the restoration and prayer this last week and it went super well.  They agreed with us about how prophets are still needed to day, and that it is super important to pray to God for knowledge. Then we invited them to pray about what we had taught them and to say the final prayer of the lesson. That was when they admitted that although they knew about the importance of prayer, they weren't sure how to go about doing it.  So we taught them and both A and their 7 year old son said a prayer; it was a super awesome and sweet to see their first prayers and you could definitely feel the spirit when they did them. I love that part of this work, teaching people a simple truth, and feeling the spirit confirm it to them when they put it into action.

I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!
