Hello All! Its been a great week with lots of amazing insights and moments from general conference!
First
of all, no I am not depressed haha, its just what we called the
Smoothie haha. So don't worry I'm doing great haha. Loving it here in
Kamloops. Its seriously the Promised Land.
Goods:
- Our new friend Riley!
- General Conference!
- Elder Webb's 21st Birthday!
- The Anti-Depression Smoothie
Bads:
- I'm again playing the piano in Zone Conference haha.
- The Anti- Depression Smoothie
Anyways... I know yall have been wondering what the heck is this Smoothie? Let me elaborate...
It
was Elder Webbs(Another missionary in Kamloops, he's not my companion)
birthday on Saturday, so that night we celebrated. And Elder Canals, his
companion decided to make us Kool-aid with Ginger Ale to go with the
Ice cream cake and brownies we already had. He blended it up, none of us
realizing he dumped the entire package in, blended it up, and served it
to us. It was sugary and super sour.
Then we
realized his mistake. The directions on the Kool-Aid indicated that one
tablespoon of the powder was enough for a liter of water. He used a
liter of Ginger Ale, but ALL of the powder, so like 3 Cups or more haha.
We each had about a cup of this Smoothie. We looked at how much sugar
we consumed in just the one cup.
It was approximately 86g of sugar.🤦♂️
Elder
Achal and Elder Canals went literally crazy for the next hour or so
haha. Me and Elder Webb had massive headaches for the next hour. And
going to bed was a nightmare, I was exhausted, my head was pounding, and
my heart was racing. I couldn't sleep till like 1 AM. But it was funny
to watch our realization when it happened haha. So I dubbed it the name
Anti-Depression Smoothie haha. Anyways sorry that was a long story
haha.
So to be short on how you make this Smoothie:
1 liter Ginger Ale
1 whole bag of Kool Aid Mix
Some Ice Cubes
Blend
Another
great part of this week was meeting our new friend Riley! We met him on
Facebook, and had a zoom lesson with him a couple of days later. He was
super excited to learn more about our church. At the end we invited him
to pray to know what we told him was true. But he interrupted us and
said that he doesn't need to pray to know if its true, he already knows
its true because of the feelings he's been having during the lesson. But
he still said he would pray about it. It was super cool to see the Holy
Ghost testify to him of the truths we taught him.
Also,
wasn't conference wonderful? So many great talks that were super
heartfelt and inspirational. I would say my favorite talk was Elder
Holland's. It was super interesting to hear about about why we don't use
the sign of the cross in our church, and how our church signifies the
crosses we bear and how to overcome them, instead of the crosses we
wear.
Also President Nelson did have me
shedding some tears at the end of his closing remarks. He is such a
wonderful man, he is truly a representative of Jesus Christ.
This
upcoming week is Canadian Thanksgiving! I'm excited cause some members
will be feeding us! Also we have Zone conference next Monday, so that
will be fun! Other than that I have to play the piano haha.
Hope yall are doing well!
