                                                                                      Hey Fam,

Another week as flown by and I didn't even realize that it was July 4th. So we celebrated it Friday at District Meeting. Elder Smith from Utah, got a package that had some Spits in it so after our meeting we enjoyed Sunflower seeds and singing the Star Spangled Banner. Pretty low-key celebration, but just enough to remember the Holiday. Elder Sibanda had another busy week, since the other Elders in the area have closed down, our days are packed and it is great to get to know all the members in the ward. Leafet and his kids were confirmed, and our bishopric changed. I'll get right to and  share 4 different experiences this week.

1-After Leafet and his children were confirmed, we dropped by and saw them and shared a lesson about Family Home Evening and family responsibilities. I can't tell you how amazing their family is and how much love Leafet has for his children. He is working like a mad-man and doesn't lose focus on his responsibilities as a father. Unlike much of the world these days. His wife is coming along, much like Shawn Marions free-throw. But she will get there.

2- We have been visiting a lot of less-active members who end up moving in with their girlfriends/boyfriends.   I've just gained a greater appreciation of the counsel given in The Family- A proclamation to the World. Marriage between a man and a women is ordained of God. Plain and simple. 

3- While we were driving in the area on Wednesday, there was this old grandmother that was  swaying in the middle of the road and about to fall over. So we stopped and she slapped our car and ran off. Turns out she was drunk, and as we drove by a little bit later she had a beer bottle in her hands and was throwing rocks at teenage boys. #dontdodrugs

4-During Fast and Testimony meeting yesterday, someone shared there testimony about how people who don't believe in God are like Rats under a table eating bread. I don't really know what he wad trying to say, but Sibanda and I were cracking up.

I love y'all and enjoy your hot summer!
