I'll have to find a better way to remember, because as I have just found out the MTC counts as part of your mission, which is kinda dumb. But because I know you all like reading long emails I will explain to you what happened this week minute by minute, jk. I have lots of work and I know you guys do too, so like Nephi I will make this my small plates, and just doing the highlights:

- Musubi: It's called "Tongan sushi" and it's spam, egg, and rice, in seaweed. It's actually really good.

- Zone Conference: first one, it was a long drive, but super good. We had a quick lesson at a member's house afterwards and she gave us a frozen lasagna for dinner and a gift card for lunch. She is so nice. And I ate 2/3s of a Family size lasagna so the food has been great on the mission

- Seth: We met with him and he is so cool. He is redoing his whole yard and it's going to look so good. He likes the stories in the bible and so we can share some in the Book of Mormon that he'll like. We talked a bit about our beliefs and we found out he already believes in the Godhead and he kept talking about how much he liked Conference and he kept quoting some talks so it's going to be super amazing working with him.

- Tammy: We had a lesson with her and she has been taught a lot. She likes to talk, but luckily we had the ward missionaries with us and they really helped steer the conversation and so she is really close to baptism and just has a few concerns that we can help straighten out. So that will be so cool.

- Exchanges: went to another area for exchanges and it was pretty uneventful in a YSA ward with very few members but I learned how to Facebook find. I also missed a lesson with Adam who is basically an unbaptized member who knows everything and people mistake him as a member. Sadly he is moving, but we will find out where and tell those missionaries.

- New Missionary Training: We are on the island and so we were going to take the ferry which would have been cool, but with Covid they had one down and so if we waited we would have missed the whole thing. So instead we drove up and around it took 3 hours, and we were an hour late for a 3 hour meeting and then we drove back the same way.

- Gyro: they are so good!! I can't believe I have never had one before. I told myself I would never work in the food industry again, but if I get free gryos I would definitely do it.

- Public Transport: so the funny thing with those long drives means we don't have any miles. We have already used 3/5s of our miles and its the 11th so we tried the bus. It worked great there but on the way home it stopped 30 minutes from our town, or a 6 hour walk. Luckily, it was the adult session of stake conference so a member was able to pick us up on his way. Super great blessing and the Lord really helped us then.

That's it for the week, sorry it got so long, but I don't have Mormon helping me edit :) 

But just to leave you with a spiritual thought, this talk was in stake conference and it was super cool: chocolate cake and carrot cake are both cakes with flour, sugar, salt, eggs, ect. but they are called chocolate/carrot cake because that ingredient is what makes it different. We take upon ourselves Christ name when we are baptized, we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are different because of Christ and we should be different because we are examples of Christ. One of the things I like about the Chosen is its intro. One blue fish swimming different from the rest and by the end more join him. People notice and it might change them. The easiest way to share the gospel is by living it. 

I love all of you and I know that swimming against the current can be hard but God blesses us for doing hard things. Talk to y'all next week, and for those sending emails, thank you so much, I really appreciate and love reading each one. Bye, have a great week!
