The best thing from this week was our
lesson with the Strausbaugh's(I think I spelled that right). The father
is a less-active member that is working on getting active again. He has
three sons. Two 13 year old twins and a five year old. The 13 year olds
are working towards baptism. Elder Moody, from the senior couple in our
district, went with us. The lesson was on chastity, which I am sure was
an awkward topic for two 13 year olds but we had a really good lesson.
On of the twins is still on the fence about being baptized but he is
really considering it and I think he will make the decision to be
baptized.
Other than that the other cool thing
that happened was that yesterday at a dinner appointment that we had I
got to do the toothpick challenge for a hot sauce. I forgot how high it
was on the Scoville heat scale but it was really really hot. It is
definitely the hottest thing that I have had here but most of the others
at the appointment were disappointed by my reaction because I didn't
freak out because of the heat.
Well that is about all for this week. Again I am sorry for the shortness of the letter!
NOTE FROM NATHAN'S DAD: We heard there were tornadoes touching down in the New Orleans area today but from what we can see they were near by where Elder Stoddard is serving but not the same town.
