i taught the entire wards youth sunday school again. today's lesson was so much better!! i'm starting to get all their names, and i honestly love them all. my favorite comment as we were talking about quick judgements was, "yeah, like sometimes when i see a guy walking down the street in a hoodie i'm like... he's a gangbanger for sure. but he could just be going to the gym" bahahah. i tried so hard to keep a straight face. these kids have had such different upbringings than me, and it is so fun to hear their insights into the gospel. we had a combined relief society and priesthood meeting and it was insane when the bishop asked whoever was born into the church to raise their hand it was me and aubrey (from byu) and the two missionaries! the ward is made up entirely of recent converts, and so its such a different experience from my wards back home. and as you can see from this picture, we are also the only white people.
emma was nice enough to be the greatest english host and have us over for an amazing sunday dinner! it was such a fresh and delicious meal i loved it!! i couldn't believe she knew how to cook so well. one more of her amazing talents...
not to mention this hoodie is my most recent purchase and probably the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
tonight we had a music devotional with everyone in the center. it was absolutely amazing, and it really made me feel at home. we had some great singers, and then people stood up and requested a hymn, telling why they like it so much. it was just such a comforting meeting and i am so glad we were able to do it!! the church is true.
