This past Thursday, On March 4th, we had a companion exchange. This is where we trade companions for a day. I got to leave my area and serve in a different part of the town of Sea Tac.
The ward I served in that day was the Samoan Ward and they thought I was the skinniest guy on the planet. Everybody fed me. It was INSANE! If you poked me with a needle, I might have popped like a balloon--I was so full of fish and chicken and hot dogs and spaghetti and this root thing that they coat fruit in. That's how they get their calicum because I guess they don't have milk or cows on the islands.
On Friday I went back to my original companion, Elder Cook, and we went tracting that morning. We asked this lady if she had heard the message of Christ, and she said, "Yes, I have...and here's your message." Then she slams the door. Not nearly as demoralizing as I thought it would be.
Sunday was great. What made it FANTASMIC is that I was able to lead into a lesson finally and be able to feel like I was teaching something worthwhile.
I gotta go--today we're going to buy more ties. Love you all!
