"Elder Bednar came to our mission Friday, the 9th, and spoke to us! It was so legit!!! He's honestly one of the funniest guys I know!!! Like if you watch him in conference he's super serious. hahaha man I was laughing the entire time he spoke to us! He was kidding around with us and the stuff he said was SUPER funny!! It was just so awesome to see him in a different light! But man we certainly learned a lot from him too!! :)) The whole 3 hours we were there with him, was a question and answer session. But no one did the "stump the apostle" tactic. They were sincere questions and he answered them pretty amazingly! Of course he was using the spirit to answer the questions, but still! :) Elder Christiansen of the Presidency of the Seventy was there as well, and so was Elder Martino of the Seventy. They answered people's questions as well But man, it was awesome to see Elder Bednar in person!! I was like 10 feet from him when he walked in the chapel! He doesn't even look his age! He's 62! But anyway it was super cool to be apart of that!
"We contacted some former investigators that are in our area book, and 2 of them are pretty promising! So hopefully we see something out of it."
When we Skyped at Christmas he was telling us what he usually ate for breakfast and lunch. And then seeing the video of his pantry... I couldn't stand it. I told him that he and Elder Sekona needed to lay off the Ramen and start buying and eating more fruits and vegetables.
He replied, "We actually have been eating a lot better recently! Thanks to a member that bought all our groceries 2 weeks ago!! And he didn't let us get anything that had to do with ramen! He made us take advantage of him, so we got some pretty good food! We also got a blender from a member and we got some frozen whole fruit and we've been drinking fruit smoothies with spinach every morning so that's been really nice!"
