Week 16? Haven't been out that long and I'm already losing my marbles

 I'm going to be completely honest, with our p days getting switched around I have no clue if it's actually the sixteenth week or not. A lot has happened so here are some of my highlights:

Sick - not me. Some of the other Elders got real sick, not fun for them, but I decided to make soup so we met with the Elders of our district (social distance of course) and I made soup for the first time. Shout out to my mom and Sister Hymas for helping me. And it was pretty okay. Definitely room for improvement. But we gave them blessings and their health is on the rise. 

Shupes -  Going through the ward list visiting people we haven't met and got referred to the Shupes from an inactive member. The Shupes are also "inactive" members. They watch zoom online every week, so it's a little confusing if that's inactive or not at the time. But Sister Shupe wants to read the Book of Mormon but she says the English is kinda hard, and that's understandable. so hopefully we can help her with that. 

Eating Contest - Elder Fuluvaka is gone but one of the Sisters got mad at me for saying she didn't have a big stomach and just proved it when she lost the eating contest she started. 

Tiwi - she decided to ghost us. For all of you who don't know, Tiwi is the tracker in our car. And it stopped working so now we do anything we want and nobody will know  just kidding, come onnnn you know I'm responsible 

Rodriguez - A member family that just moved in. The father doesn't have the melchizedek priesthood yet so I was asked to dedicate the house. It was a cool experience. And they are fun

P day today - we went to fort Casey (pics below) and played zombie tag or infection (too soon?) And that was really fun

New Missionary Training - my goal was to have Elder Moake think it was pointless and it looks like I did a great job, because he said I had already taught him everything they talked about. The real fun part was this jeopardy game we played and me obviously being me argued about the answers and I was definitely right in all instances. I know my mom is rolling her eyes right now, but we won so...

So now for the spiritual thought. It's not about being humble, but I could definitely work on that. It's about the Atonement and how we can use it to change. This week is about Adam and Eve and I like what Come Follow Me says about it not being a bad thing. It was necessary for our own growth and for theirs. Lots of others believe it to be a bad part in history but it wasn't. It was part of God's perfect plan and while some call the Fall a punishment, it's really not. Immediately God promises them the Savior and the power of His Atonement and that if we follow His plan we can go even higher than what Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. It's so amazing and I hope we can all think and ponder on that more as we study and pray this week. 

I love you all and I want you to know that no matter what you are all in life, Jesus can help you, and He will always be there for you. Just turn to Him. I forget that sometimes and so I hope this reminder helps you too. Our Heavenly Father loves you, each and every one of you. He made this world for you, and He sacrificed His Son for you. 

I love you too, have a great week

Elder Moake met a new friend, tried catching it but failed

I am biscuit certified (there was a typo last email) it took me 40 minutes, but definitely worth it. 

Found a dead dear

And Fort Casey
