78. Hold on, spider-monkey

 I've never seen twilight, but the ysa is doing a movie night and there was just a spider monkey on the poster. Never been more confused. As for thr rest of the week...

So, I didn't write in my journal once this past week and so wups, but here are the highlights: 

Museum - free pass on Thursday, so we checked it out and it was a cool museum. They had a lot of fun things for kids (and 20 year old me) and also had some windows into other rooms and you got to see someone dissect a coyote. It was cool. And staying true to myself I took one pic

Dominic - this cool guy we talked to on campus. One of the things we do is ask people to fill out a survey and start talking to them. He said yes and after filling it out and talked to us about how something similar happened last month, someone reaching out and talking about God. He needs God in his life and I don't think it's a coincidence. We got his number and I hope he texts back. 

Mos - we taught him the plan of salvation, and taught it simply but still blew his mind. He told us he'd been taught everything before, but that may not have been true. To help him wrap his head around the concept of pre-existence and being spirit children, I shared a scripture and he immediately understood. Told him that everything we teach him comes from the scriptures 

Basketball + volleyball - not much on this, just Caitlin is invited some of her friends to basketball which is super awesome, but makes it a lot harder cause their good, and then we are having some good interactions at volleyball and I got a good spike from back row. (I also like broke my finger or something, not sure)

Social Media Training - my first time doing leading one. It was actually pretty fun and we did a game of four Corners and if you got out you had to do practice one of the things. It was super funny tho, because we set it up and left, and when we came back, someone cleaning the church had taken down our signs. So that was a fun hiccup. 

Bam - had another great lesson with her. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ: Faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost, and enduring. She has so much faith and it's amazing. 

Caitlin - we had our second lesson with her and because of work she's been super busy. We went over the Plan of Salvation and had 4 other members there too, so it was a party. The lesson was great and afterwards we all got to make our own potstickers and feast. Her internship ends next week so we'll be able to meet with her a lot more soon. 

Spiritual thought - I just wanted to share my testimony from Sunday. On the mission I've been trying to cook and bake more, but one of my downfalls is I get distracted a lot. That usually means I mess up on the recipe or leave it in the oven too long. But the great thing about life is we have multiple opportunities to try again. I can learn from my burnt mistake, and do better. Because of Atonement of Christ, not only are we able to try again, we are able to get help from a master chef. Who knows the exact recipe to have a great life. 

If you need help, I implore you to ask the master chef. He is loving and He is patient, and He will take care of you. I know that and can promise that you can too. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. 

Love y'all, here are the pics
