Good Eats

So last week for PDay, we went to a Filipino shop with some other elders (one of them was Filipino), and then I saw something... a weirdly coloured egg - Balut! So a few of us bought one for each of us, then we went home, cooked some chicken adobo, then boiled the balut! We ate it, and it wasn't too bad to be honest... tasted like a really off or weird egg. It's kinda cool, you crack it open, drink the juices, then peel the shell off of the baby duck/chicken and then enjoy! Probably the most exotic food thing I've tried in Australia, and it's not even Australian. 

Also had some good teaching appointments this past week. One was with a Cook Islander, and we got to teach him the restoration! We also taught the restoration to this nonmember girl that's living with a very active family. She's really interested on finding out if the church really is true or not, so we're excited to work with her!

And I know, we're a week behind on General Conference so you've all seen it and talked about it for a while now, but we got to watch it and it was awesome! Cool changes, new temples, new Prophet, solemn assembly, and hearing Elder Holland spit fire once again... it was awesome!

Another highlight of the week... our investigator getting baptised! The best part about it was being able to see her husband baptise her, and participate in confirming her. My old companion, Elder Martin, also got to come see her get baptised, so it was fun being able to reunite for a bit.

Highlight number two... had dinner with a ... Samoan/Maori family? They've been to Hawaii though before, and they made Spam Musubi for dinner. SO GOOD! Brought back almost a little too much memories... but worth it though. I only devoured 4, I'm still a bit rusty on my musubi eating skills.

And for my little spiritual thought for this week, we met this random cool guy the other day who taught us about some of his beliefs. One thing he said was his interpretation of the word, "God". He said it stands for "Great Original Designer". So, just a reminder for this week, don't forget about your Great Original Designer, and the amount of detail he put into making this beautiful world we live in!
