The Rice Challenge

 (Elder Slade)

To the best friends and family an person could hope for,

This has been a good week for missionary work. We found 11 new people to teach! The Lord blessed us this week. We found 6 kids by playing catch with a football in a neighborhood with lots of kids, and then we shared a message with them after, and have scheduled to make it a regular thing, about 2 or 3 times a week. Perhaps alot of them won't necessarily progress towards baptism right now, but I think they will remember these lessons where we talk about how prayer can help us and about God. We also started teaching a man who's wife is a member, but he is not. They are the kindest people. They gave us vegetables from their garden, and soda, and are just super fun to be around! Another highlight of this week was I was able to go on an exchange with Elder Leavitt, who trained me! It was super sweet.

I know that the Lord is active in this work. We saw miracles this week, and it was all because of God helping us. I know that to be true. God is real. He loves us. He will help us. Short and sweet but true.

The title comes from a bet Elder Snow and I gave Elder Thompson. We bet him 10 bucks he couldn't eat 5 lbs of rice this week. I'll let you know next week if he makes it. Elder Thompson also gave a really bad joke this week: What do you get when you put Elder Snow in the Summer? Elder Water! Haha! Yeah, I know. It was a pretty bad joke.

Also, my new address is: 3118 Chasewood Dr Apt #1 Ammon, ID 83406
