(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for,
This week has been a great week! The Lord has blessed us by
helping us put 3 people on date. One of
them we found just a week and a half ago, names Lacie. The other two are 11
year-old twins named Olivia and Carter, who like to roast each other. The title
is from Olivia, who told that to her brother Carter in the middle of the
lesson. It was an ultimate middle-school roast in my opinion! We have a few
more potentials of people who are progressing that we're hoping to put on date
soon. We've been getting along great as a companionship, and having been having
fun. In a dinner appointment one night we got Elder Nabrotzky to fit 3 entire
cornbread muffins in his mouth. Apparently he's done competitive eating before!
I was very impressed.
Today's been kind of crazy. We learned that there will be
two new missionaries in our apartment. Elder Holmes, who's in our district, and
a new person he's training. This is a small apartment for 5 people, let me tell
you. It's going to be interesting. Also, someone "reverse robbed" (as
Elder Nabrotzky puts it) our apartment. They put streamers, candy, and
compliments all over our apartment door. I'll include a picture. It was so kind
of someone though!
We have recently been playing a game with members recently
that show that nothing is as importing as Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice.
Sometimes we may get distracted in the small meaningless things, but in the
grand scheme of things, they don't matter. We won't take the things we have now
with us when we die, so we need to spend our time working on things that will
stay with us.
Potato harvesting is happening soon here in Idaho, so a fact
about potatoes: In 2008, an estimated 300,000 acres of Idaho Potatoes were
harvested - about 11 billion pounds of potatoes. That's enough potatoes to fill
500 NFL football fields. That's a lot of Potato!
