I have lots of food. People
give us food, my mom sends me food. We buy food. I probably don't need anymore
food. I have been trying to see how long I can go without buying groceries.
It's going pretty well.
My Mom sent me some cereal and
some pancake mix, but I refused to buy ANY food last week so I have been eating
the cereal dry. Which is cool. Mom sent me syrup to go with the pancake mix-
super nice of her but it didn't really work out, so I have been coming up with
new things to put into the pancakes- all of which include chocolate. The
following is a list of strategies I have tried in order of success from
least successful to most successful.
1. Butter
2. Hot chocolate mix in the pancakes
3. Peanut M&Ms
4. Lindor truffles- they melt.
5. Brownie mix in the pancakes
6. More Brownie Mix
7. Andes Mints
8. That second batch of brownie pancakes with Andes Mints
9. Plain with Hot chocolate mix on top.
10. Dove Dark chocolate hearts
in the pancakes
My hypothesis is that the best
combination out of these ingredients will be Dove dark chocolate pieces in the
pancakes with hot chocolate mix on top of the pancakes. Don't worry. I have
enough of all of these things.
If I decide to be bold my next
move might be Fruit Smiles pancakes.
On Friday- Valentine's Day. One
woman whom we had never met before turned her car around after passing us and
pulled over so that she could hand us each a heart-covered plastic bag with
lindor truffles inside of them. She said. "I remember tracting. You need
Valentines" That was sweet of her.
A note to all of you who feed
missionaries in any way. Thank you. We love you. You are great. Those of us who
serve in the Western United States (and maybe other places) receive an abundance
of sweets. So many sweets. If you feed us- we love Salad and healthy foods.
Really you can give us whatever you want and we will be grateful and eat it-
but if you want us to be healthy. It is hard to get vegetables as a missionary.
Yesterday we held a special
fast with two of our investigators. Fasting is one of those commandments that
seems ridiculous until you try it. I believe it to be utterly divine. I could
not have thought of it. I have received more strength and guidance through
fasting, prayer, and scripture study combined than I could possibly pass off as
coincidental or made up. I have a testimony of the power of fasting. I don't
know how it works. I don't know why it works. I only know that when I go
without food for two meals as I ask the Lord for help or guidance- help and
guidance come and I am able to recognize the Lord's hand in my Life. I feel His
love for me.
Hope you all have a great week.
