A Taste of Culture

So the highlight of this week was that some members invited us to come with them to an event called A Taste of Culture. At the event there was a lot of ethnicity represented and some of the food that's unique to their culture. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I got to have some indian food that was made by one of our investigators and have a nice conversation with him. He also gave us a discount to which he said "this is what you get for proclaiming the most high God" It was such a humbling experience to realize that we're known as both those weird guys who go from door to door to witnesses of the truth and God. Elder Peterson was also just loving it because he's learned a lot of things from different languages and was trying them all out. The biggest wast there were some people from Honduras that he had a conversation in Spanish with. I also got to have some of the "best" bannock from a guy we met on the street who looks like Mr. Clean. It was really some of the best bannock ever :) I wish I could've spent more time there to try all the foods but, there's a greater cause to be fought. Tis the life of a missionary.

Another thing that happened this week was that we hosted the Meadow lake Elders and the Zone Lords in our house before they had exchanges and we all had district meeting. But, the "fun" part was that we woke up at 6:00 so we could go play ultimate frisbee for our exercise in the morning. It was nice to switch up the schedule but, it was one of the most unique things I've done that early in the morning. It was also funny because of a secret combination I made with some friends of mine to never touch a frisbee again :D But, it worked out and I had a fun time :) 

Finally, we weren't able to go to this *sad face* but there was a couple in our branch that got sealed together this last saturday. It was so much fun to see them work towards that :) She had only been a member for a year as well and it was so good to see how far she had progressed in a years time :) Her husband in one of our meetings also talked about how the next goal is going on a mission :) They're such a good family. 

That's all for now. This next week we're going in for Zone Conference and we're doing something along the lines of The District the tv show or whatever you want to call it. So there should be some fun stories from that :) Thank you for all of your support. Potatoes gonna potate 

Love, Elder Mikesell
