Yall!!

Super short on time this week, but join me for a few highlights!!

1) FUFU

It's an African eating EXPERIENCE. It consists of a sort of spaghetti-sauce with chicken and cornmeal-dough, and you eat it sitting on pillows on the floor around a low table. No utensils allowed! You form little balls of the dough with your hands and dip/roll it in the sauce, and eat it! You also shape the dough to pick up the chicken pieces to make your own utensils. You get super messy and it's AWESOME. I'm making it when I get home! Probably my favorite mission meal yet.

2) Meet the Mormons

I saw a pre-screening this week, and it is an incredible film! It's being released in theaters nationwide on October 10th. Make it a priority for members and non-members alike, especially the latter. It's a fun, touching, enlightening perspective into six unique individuals worldwide who make a difference through their faith, and whose faith has made the difference for them. It's incredible. See trailers at mormon.org. 

3) General Conference

All eight hours of listening to the prophet, apostles, and leaders speak were incredibly powerful and enlightening to me. I had many favorites but one was by D. Todd Christofferson, who talked about how whether or not you like something does not determine whether or not it is true. God is the author of truth and what he declares true is true, and that's that. We can also seek truth from our Heavenly Father, and he lovingly answers. We do so through prayer and scripture study.

I hit my year mark this week, and my it has flown! No time left, but miracles happen every day and keep praying for my area. God has people for us to find.

Love yall,
