Hey Everybody!

Hey everybody!
So this week was pretty great toward the end. President Kuceki came to watch our zone meeting. That means running back to the house to clean a bit before the assistants sleep-over. Here they rate your house; Celestial, Terrestrial, Telestial, or OUTER DARKNESS!. You don't want to get an outer darkness rating...

The meeting was good, the only part they'll remember is when we split a coconut using a candy (like a starburst). Seriously! It was pretty awesome. We talked about how the spirit takes our message to the heart, like it says in Nephi 33:1 and Corinthians 2:10. Then we formed the candy into a point and slammed a green coconut on it, it goes into the coconut!!! I won't tell you how many times we practiced at home. The secret is that the coconut is pretty impossible to open with your hands, but the candy splits it because it gets between the fibers.
Did I tell you about the explosive example we did last meeting?

Yep, so we've got a fridge and a microwave, the washing machine is in good order, and today I bought a toilet seat so we're in good shape! This morning I went into the bathroom and found a super cool looking tree frog, it was only AFTER I had trapped him in a sack that Elder Jesus told me it was called a "carrasco" They glue themselves to a cow's leg and suck the blood like a leech.... He was like "Don't let it out of the sack!" Told me you have to go to the hospital to burn it off your leg.... ok.

The investigator that dreamed she was baptized wasntbaptized this week. We're helping her with the Word of Wisdom, she'll be baptized this saturday.

To end I'd like to share something we learned in the "The Power of the Member Missionary" book that president gave us (I'm reading up everything he gives us because it's super good)

In times of war the troops on the front line are given the most powerful weapons. The troops that work at HQ aren't given weapons as powerful because they work mostly with administrative things.
With our callings, sometimes we can do most of it without the help of the spirit, administrative things, but when we become member missionaries, we are put on the front lines in the war between God and Satan and the souls of men are at stake. We Need the spirit every day.

When we become everyday missionaries, we will have the spirit more powerfully in our lives. (great book)
Any ideas for the next zone meeting???
Love you all!
Elder Wallace
Here's my companion,
Couscous with fried egg and chicken (mmmmmm)
the Carrasco that luckily I grabbed with a plastic bag. If he sticks to you and you try to pull it off, sometimes his legs will stay.. ew.

Mom! check out if they have couscous (fubá) in the US, maybe I'll by a couscous maker.
