Per tradition, the night before
Moves Call, Elder Massey and I ate Kebabs. I had actually been
"Kebab-tized" last Monday during P-Day! I got the largest Kebab we
could find, which was larger than a Pizza box! And I had to eat the whole
thing! I couldn't, but I did my best! It was delicious, too! Basically, a Kebab
is this roll with meat in the middle. Special red sauce is put on, and you
often get salad inside as well. The meat is referred to as "Mystery
Meat" because nobody knows what's in it! I found a piece of bone in mine
on Saturday hahaha. Such fun.
Anyhow, this week has been great!
Every one of our Investigator Lessons were Joint Teaches, so that's great! We
met with Stuart & Teresa again on Tuesday, and Stuart served us Lasagna,
which, quite honestly, was the BEST LASAGNA I'VE EVER HAD!!!!! Sorry, Mom, but
this Lasagna was just too cheesy to compare!
On Wednesdays, we try to do Family
History. This Wednesday, while doing Family History, I decided to find out
which Scottish Clan we come from! I looked it up, and apparently we're from
Clan Mackay! They're way up north, and their tartan is very cool! It's blue and
green, to signify... I don't remember, but I think it has something to do with
the sea and the highlands.
On Thursday, we were really excited
to meet with this one woman, Paula, who seems pretty solid, but she cancelled
on us. :( However, because she cancelled on us, we met this other girl who is
awesome! We were talking with her about God and how to find out if He's there,
and she thought she wasn't worthy to know God. We talked with her about the
contrary, and talked about how Baptism can wash us of our sins and make us
clean. She said that would be amazing!!!! We're meeting with her tomorrow!! So
the Lord truly does work in mysterious ways!
On a more spiritual side, I've been
studying the "How to Recognize the Spirit" section of PMG, and I
found it extremely enlightening! It really impressed me to make my prayers more
meaningful and respectful, and already I can tell a huge difference! Prayer is
an amazing resource, and it can not be taken for granted!
Also, I finished reading the Book of
Mormon and Jesus the Christ at about the same time. I love the Book of Mormon,
and I really enjoyed reading Jesus the Christ too, which I've never read
before. I love my Savior and all he does for me! The Book of Mormon is amazing,
and it truly is the word of God! Keep reading it, all of you!
From what I hear, I won't be getting
the package with the camera charger for another two weeks, so you won't be able
to get any pictures for another three weeks. Sorry! I assure you that you'll be
getting plenty of pictures once I get it!
I love you all so much, and think
about you often! Thank you for your love and support! I love your emails as
well! Keep being awesome, and stay true to the faith!
Elder Bates
