One p-day i proceeded to clean and organize our kitchen cupboards. When i came to the cupboard with a friend's stuff in it I discovered 3 boxes of Chai Tea. I called my beloved friend downstairs and inquired about the purpose of the tea. It's was strange to discover he had no clue that if mixed chocolate with tea it was still against the word of wisdom. I will never forget the words, "Friend, will you keep the Word of Wisdom?" Never thought i'd have to commit that one.

We have some fantastic recent converts in our Ward named Josh and Janie Summers. Elder Whittle baptized them just before i got here. They live in the ghetto and have a serious addiction to Pokemon cards. The addiction is contagious and are apartment is now infected. We built decks on p-day from their spare cards, and had a small tournament. We also occasionally have a quick battle before climbing into bed. I personally run a lighting and colorless type deck and have pondered on adding in a few water pokemon. Unfortunately, i have been forced into early retirement because Elder Whittle has a Charizard and my Pikachu always gets dominated. -- As a positive twist on this tale, we've all noticed an increase recently in our ability to see the "cause and effect" side of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Zone meeting the past week as on how to properly use questions to teach for understanding. Elder Whittle is a big food guy, so we started with a great food analogy. "Teaching without questions is like eating a hotdog without the bun." Following these words of wisdom I proceeded to pull a hot dog out of my suit pocket and Elder Whittle pulled a bun out of his pocket. To top off the dramatic moment Elder Warner chucked a bottle of ketchup from the back of the room and Elder Whittle caught it by the tips of his fingers. Very random, Very exciting. Hopefully it will stick in our Zone's minds.
