4/3/17--General Conference

I think I have only blinked like twice in the past 4 weeks and it was over! This transfer is going by so fast I can't even believe it! We have kept so busy and working hard it is exhausting. This week was just working and working then some fun with General Conference. We had some funny moments along the way and some interesting moments.

So this week one of our investigator's dad went to the hospital so we asked if he wanted to get a blessing from the elders. That itself was an experience and half. Afterwards when we were driving to our next appointment Hermana Reeve was like I want to make a cake for the Elders because they are always helping us and I want to pay them back. However the struggle was that Elder Weisler is allergic to milk so whatever we made couldn't have milk in it. We looked at many recipes but found nothing to make. Mind you it is like 8:30 at night so we don't have much time to get things pulled together. We messaged with a member and she told us substitutes for dairy products. We ended up making Texas Sheet cake. The coolest miracle of this was we needed buttermilk so we were going to substitute it with milk and vinegar but I couldn't remember the ratio. I prayed really hard and the idea of one tablespoon of vinegar to one cup of milk or almond milk in this case. We called the member and I was right! It was cool to see how God helped us to do a small service for the Elders. Then we ding-dong ditched them at their door with a note. They were so grateful! It was funny Elder Weisler ate so much of that cake. He basically ate half a cookie sheet of cake! So fun!

One of the highlights of my week was we went to Yanci's house and made papusas! Her sister taught us how to make them so when we go home we will know how to make them. It was so much fun! It was similar to the time before when I made them with Hermana Williams. Although this time I was much better at it because I had a year of practice and getting better. I am not quite to a Hispanic or fully made them all by myself.  However I hope when I get home I will be really good at it.

I can't say much more exciting happened that was funny that would make sense out of contexts. I hope everyone got a chance to see the new prince of peace video I posted on Facebook! I love that the church puts out videos and gives us tools to help us better deepen our testimony of the Savior. I know he lives and he loves us beyond our understand!

Sorry it is so short not much exciting things happened this week! I love y'all!
