A Missionary's Work: Food MMM!

Cleaning the church in a wrestling stance.

Hey everyone,

So last week, with the want of new food, we made a lot of experimental food. I made no-bake cookies without the "proper ingredients". I used Energen powder instead of cocoa, brown and white sugar, peanut butter, milk and butter and oats. This is all without measurements, the "just eye it" method, which I like anyway. I brought them to a surprise birthday party for an awesome mom of 5. They're not mayaman (rich) by any means - as in, the kids saved up their money for a while to buy spaghetti for a nice dinner, and the dad bought a cake which is "Wow, a cake, you shouldn't have" here. Cake is really special here and usually only wealthy people buy cake. They actually really loved the cookies too and asked for my recipe. Ha! She was so surprised that she even cried.

Anyway, how is fall? We wouldn't know cause it's the same temperature year round, or hotter. The language is coming along too. I'm at the point I can understand pretty much everything but speaking is something else, though I have spurts of correct and incorrect grammar.

So, something I love to do when we teach is share life experiences, and I might be young, but there are a lot of life experiences that apply to Christ's teachings. I can see how people cherish a story of experience or even an example than someone telling them something. Probably because people like to apply pinciples to themselves, and an example of a principle is easier to apply to life, especially when someone has been through it. So maybe if you want to help somebody, share an experience or example and be a good example, and then the rest is up to them.

Well, see ya'll next week.
P.S. - It's wrestling season, yessss!
