Hello again! This week was definitely interesting. We had some really cool lessons with our members, trying to get them all ready to start doing some missionary work of their own. We've been doing a little program with them were we read a few scriptures about the atonement, have them make a list of friends and family who aren't members, then pray to see who on that list is ready to hear about the gospel. After that we have a few simple steps like do service, mention you're a member of this church, invite them to meetings, and invite them to talk to missionaries.
So, we decided to make banana bread for someone this week, and we decided to do it with the other elders because...well...they know how to make banana bread. So, we've just finished everything and have had it in the oven for about 10 minutes when someone suddenly realizes that no one added baking soda. Thinking quickly, but not clearly, he pulled it out of the oven and tried sprinkling baking soda on top and kind of mixing into the batter. Despite the well thought-out premise, it actually didn't work, and turned out to be really gross (bubbles of baking soda don't taste very good). The only parts of it that tasted normal were the outside edges that didn't get the soda treatment; they just weren't as fluffy as usual.
Hopefully unrelated, we had a case of stomach flu in our district. Thankfully it's all over, and thankfully I didn't get it as bad as some of the others did, but it wasn't fun. I think that throwing up at 2 am would probably be one of my least favorite mission memories.
Well, other than that, things are great! Thank you all for your emails, I love you, and I'll write again in a week!
Love,
--Elder Hurst
