Dear y'all, This week was kinda wild honestly. On tuesday my companion elder Lind wanted to make us chicken tacos which I was really excited about... until I realized how long it takes to make chicken tacos. Fortunately they tasted fantastic, but later that same day we were asked to judge a cooking competition for the youth in the ward and as much as I loved the enthusiasm they had I did not love eating sweet tart smoothies, but it was still frun to do something silly with them! On Wednesday we taught some good lessons and was great to see just how much Elder Elmer has been improving in his teaching skill! Later that night we visited a recent convert who has been going through some difficult times and it was nice to comfort him help out. pray for Quincy Saphore, he is wonderful! On Thursday we went on exchanges and it was super cool actually. We at one point taught this one lady who supposedly had a vision about the spirit world and premortality so it was cool to go over the plan of salvation with her and for her to look at it and agree with our steps of eternal progression. We also had like 7 backup appointments in the evening and ALL of them fell through which was not my favorite thing in the world but at least we had stuff to do which took up our time. On Friday I introduced my new companions to the Chavez family which was really sweet. Then, terror struck the apartment. Elder Lind woke up Saturday morning sick and then he accidently took a lot of nyquil and was loopy ALL DAY! Other than the fact we had to figure out a weird exchange situation for the day it was pretty funny seeing Elder Lind do stuff since he was so out of it. We also helped take care of a trunk for a trunk or treat event. We were in charge of caging a veloceraptor so that was terrifying. Lastly yesterday we finished teaching Jill Rice the discussions and she is excited to be baptized soon! Hope life is going well and that everyone is living a good life. For everyone who is reading this, I love and appreciate you, you are Epic! Sincerely, Elder Nicholas Nephi William Schindler
