Hi, all!!
This week has been pretty fantastic. Here's a few of the
things that went on.
-This week Elder Tolzmann and I went all out and made Cafe
Rio. It was a little pricey, but it was absolutely worth it. Before going out
one day, I made some rice, and he makes some killer beans, so he made those. He
ground up some hamburger patties and added taco seasoning, and I fried some
potatoes, and then we added some lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, peri peri sauce,
and topped it off with some honey BBQ sauce. We got some big tortillas/pita
bread and made an explosion of deliciousness. I was just pretty excited. You
know I thought to take a picture to include. :D
-Yesterday was a pretty cool day for a couple of reasons!
The ward decided to do a Missionary Sacrament Meeting. The full-time
missionaries, ward missionaries, returned missionaries, etc. all were to lead
everything. So the ward mission leader called me and asked me to give a talk
for about 10 minutes. It was actually kind of cool. Back home, normally I'd be
asked to give a talk for about 5 minutes. I would prepare for like hours and I
would practice what I had and it'd be like only 3 minutes... but I can tell
I've become much better at teaching and speaking because I came up with just an
outline with a few scriptures and I spoke for like 12 minutes, haha. Nothing
too exciting, I was just kind of proud of myself. I spoke about how members can
be missionaries by being an "example of the believers."
-Then after church was pretty fantastic, too, because we had
another baptism!! It was a girl named Pricilla. She lives with a family in the
ward. Both parents are returned missionaries, and they're all fantastic. This
was actually the very first time since I've been here that I've physically done
the baptism myself. She's a small girl, so it was no problem, haha, but it as
still a wonderful experience. As always, it's wonderful to see people have the
desire to follow the Savior, Jesus Christ and to see the gospel change their
lives. I hope you all know that I love my Savior, and I can promise you that by
following Him we truly will find lasting peace and happiness.
I love you all. I appreciate all your love and support. I
hope you're doing well and that I hear from you again soon!!
With love,
Elder Buchanan
