Hellllooooo,
 
Crazy that graduation just happened. Can't believe that it was 2 years ago that I graduated. Well, honestly, this week was pretty slow. It's getting pretty hot as well. Who knew that you could be outside, with the sun down, doing nothing but standing, and be drenched in sweat? It stinks, literally. haha.
 
So last Monday we went to lunch with a potential investigator named Nhue Ho. He took us to a Thai place. He's friends with one of the members here and was referred to the missionaries 7 months ago. It took 7 months to finally be able to meet with him. haha. We basically taught the Restoration over lunch. He talks super loud so pretty much the whole restaurant heard the whole thing. We got a few dirty looks, but I'm almost completely immune to those now. We gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon and he committed to read it. We will check back up with him soon. We weren't able to meet with Anthony or Ricky this week :(
 
On Saturday we played ultimate frisbee with the priests and their non-member friends. There were some scheduling conflicts so there wasn't a ton of people there. It was fun though. I about died. Too hot and humid and I'm too fat. Not the best mix. haha.
 
So I had gone my whole mission without being asked to speak in sacrament meeting and was pretty pleased with that fact. Well, when we showed up in the morning for a correlation meeting before church, I was asked if I could give a talk. I was a little stressed because, although they asked me 30 minutes before sacrament meeting, those 30 minutes would be spent in the correlation meeting. haha. It all turned out well though. I definitely would not have been able to do that 8 months ago and I definitely would not have been able to do that on my own.
 
Yesterday we had another service at Autumn Leaves. It went pretty well. The people there are so awesome and we've pretty much become celebrities. haha. Well, that's all I can think of for now. I hope that you all have a great week! Love you!
