 Haha I look fat but I promise I've only gained 1 pound!! not bad for a Wisconsin Winter;) !

Here's a pic of me and Elder Norris at our party thingy! hahaha not sure what Elder Norris is doing! and also Jonathon! He's so cool!

Well as you all know I turned 19 this week! Pretty cool and the Perez family actually held a little party for me and Elder Norris (his is on the 30th, hes transferred now though) on tuesday! It was pretty awesome and I'm so happy to have them in my life, they are so awesome! 
The dad Ramon we get to work with now that the ZL left! Pretty excited to work with him. He's the only non-member in the family but comes to church like every sunday and knows its true! getting baptized is more of a pride thing for him because his whole family is catholic! Thats okay though! Mondaywe actually had a family night with him and his family! 
Also Hma Perez (His wife) Invited all of her extended family to join us! Me and Elder Neves were in charge of it and had a good night! We talked a little about overcoming trials and also related it to the atonement of Christ. We had a bag of doughnuts and we called Elder Norris up to the front of this family. We asked if everyone would like a doughnut! (doughnut, donut, whatever! haha) They all of course said yes but we said Elder Norris had to do 10 pushups for every person to receive their doughnut! As I went around the room every ten pushups handing one person a doughnut Elder Norris started to wear down! 
At this point a thought came to my mind from an email from my dad. He was at my friend Matt's Homecoming and a member of the 70 spoke there with them. He said that when Jesus was in the garden, all of us were in heaven cheering him on and encouraging him to do it and that he could do it! Something along those lines but I shared that and so we all started cheering him on for every ten pushups! 

He really started to struggle and this is when the lesson came into play. Her extended family asked for someone else to do it instead of Elder Norris so he didn't have to suffer so much. We kind of paused and taught how Jesus Christ was the only one ever able to suffer for all of the sins of the world. There was no other being who could do it, only him. By the end of it, Elder Norris did 120 pushups in about 15 minutes and it was GREAT! The reflection on it afterwards was great and I think that it was pretty good! plus Elder Norris got his workout in so that was good! haha

Awesome week! Ill send more pictures and a video of me seeing how fast i can run! haha ive gotten slower.. ITS THE ELEVATION! haha love you all, have a great one!!
