09/23/2019 Fried Chicken

Today we are going to the temple so my letter is going to be short.

But you could say I am now a master of southern cuisine. I made fried chicken, thanks to the recipe from someone in Arkadelphia. I only almost burned the apartment down. It was all worth it cause it tasted great. 

We taught a great lesson with Evelyn this week. She found a lot of comfort in the message of the Plan of Salvation. It's great to teach people with so much faith. 

We also did service for a man from Thailand. We were biking around Benton and came upon two guys looking at some structure outside of a building. Turns out they are opening a Hibachi Shop and we helped set some cinder block bricks. We laid mortar and the blocks and all that.

2) we saw a tract from another church, we decided to add our own. Hopefully other people do the same. See how many we can get

Week 2 of the MTC. It definitely went faster than the first week. This email is just going to be a splatter of experiences, descriptions, and stories probably. More about my companion: Elder Miller is from Arizona. He likes basketball, and played on a national team in high school, which is pretty rad. He's pretty goofy and can make everyone in the district laugh. He likes rap and country music the most, so we're kind of on the opposite when regards to the music spectrum.  MTC cafeteria food is a hit-miss. The breakfasts have gotten old really fast. It's the same "egg loaf" (scrambled eggs that's really more of a loaf than a scramble), bad ham, and oversalted hash browns every other day. The lunches and dinners range from great to bad. For the most part it's better than what I ate in college, but that's because I was paying for food and being super cheap, I ate sandwiches and rice. We sit together as a district for most meals. We're all pre
