Hey everyone, how are things this week?? sounds like things are going really well back home. Looks like last week was really full of fun activities and events. This last week I had a good time as well. I had a slightly embarrassing moment in the house of an investigator and with a member... we were teaching a lesson to a single lady and her daughter about the priesthood (we were going to give the lady a priesthood blessing because she fell) and so the lesson was really spiritual and going really well until I decided to get a little bit more comfortable. (so usually while I teach I have the habit of sitting on the edge of my seat so I am participating a little more in the conversation and it shows that I really care about what we are teaching) and so as I let my companion take his turn speaking and teaching. I slid back to sit in the chair in a normal way and well as I leaned my back on the back rest I hear a loud CRACK and the next thing I know is I am on my back on the floor with my feet in the air.... The back legs of the plastic lawn chair broke into about a million pieces....well needless to say the spirit left quickly and everyone in the room was on the floor laughing. Literally my companion fell out of his chair laughing at me and the member, well he speaks English, and he just kept saying to me, "elder it's alright, you're going to remember this for a long time" he laughed as well. Long story short we were able to bring the spirit back by singing a hymn and all ended well. So to be honest the family that we were teaching now is planning on getting baptised next month. So all is well here, just a little bit of damaged pride but nothing else. :) hope that this story comes across as funny as it was for everyone else. I love you guys and have a great week!
