we need to feast upon the scriptures daily and we can receive blessings

So I don't have much time and as I get to the end I am loosing motivation to write these things. But after this I only have to write 3 more I think so those ones will be good.

But a little about this week. This weekend there were birthday parties like crazy and idk if you guys have ever been to a Spanish birthday party or just any type of fiesta but they are litttttt. I think this is the most steak I have eaten in one weekend. And I'm not complaining one bit. But it's super dope because our ward mission leader and his wife (the Taylor's) are way chill and they take us everywhere. She is from Ecuador and he is white but he served here in Indiana 10 years ago so we stop by all of his old people and his wife and kid tags along and we just hang out with them and teach his people. So we went to all these birthday parties with them and got all this free food and they are such good member missionaries... This next week we have like 4 family home evenings set up with the Taylor's and their Hispanic friends so that's going to be dope.

Someone we are teaching named Gerardo is coming along great and he is on date for the 13th of July... (Hmm it's almost like I set it for that day for a reason????)  but he came to church again and he bought a white shirt and we are going to give him some ties so he can be all fancy. But he is going to cook breakfast for us tomorrow and he works at this taqueria so he gives us free tacos. Man life is pretty good right now here in Fort Wayne.

I am still having some companionship problems but hey the work is great and the other missionaries around me are great so EXCHANGES but for real I am doing great and finishing strong.

I am getting close to finishing the book of Mormon in Spanish for the first time and it has been super awesome. I love reading that book it has become so close to me lately. I know sometimes we struggle and we don't study and sometimes we think "man I've already read that, I know that book" butttttt god will bless up if we do what he has asked. So we know we need to feast upon the scriptures daily and we can receive blessings. So please feast and read even if you "already know everything". I love you all and have a great week.
