pancake tuna surprise

this week i made a tuna fish sandwich and i wanted to make two sandwiches using only the one can of tuna that i had, and i knew that the one can of tuna wasn´t enough to fill two sandwiches so i tried to find something else to add that would give it more mass. usually i throw in a few eggs and it goes really well but i didn´t have eggs, but i did have pancake mix, my strange pancake mix that i made using 7up because we ran out of water. I thought about it for a bit, and then i poured the pancake mix into my tuna and cooked it all together and put it in the sandwiches.

and it tasted really bad.

i had the most amazing dream

this was a great dream. i am almost certain that it was one of the best dreams of my mission. I had trouble sleeping this week. Friday night some members gave us some caffeinated beverages and that night i just laid in bed until 3am and couldn’t sleep. and the next day i was super out of it. Saturday night i slept fine but i was still feeling weird on Sunday and i started to get a headache from lack of sleep. and last night i went to bed early and i had the most amazing dreams. i woke up so happy from my dream and so excited and all day I’ve just felt great. i thanked God several times for sending me such a cool dream.

that being said, i don´t know if i can explain why it was such a good dream. There were a lot of different parts of it.

There was a part where i made friends with some brothers who played together in a garage band and they let me play "the coins" in one of their shows. i took a whole bunch of heavy coins and shook them around in my hands to the beat of the music.

There was a part where i was watching a whole bunch of people climb a mountain and one of them fell off and it was super dramatic and sad.

There was a part where i discovered a deep and elaborate secret hidden in my alphabet soup. but the letters in the alphabet soup were huge, like the size of my hand each letter. and one of the brothers in the band had planted the secret and i started to read his alphabet soup, and i took out one letter at a time and it started to spell the message, and it started with my name, "k. e. n. n...." but in the dream my name was Kenny. We sabotaged the car of the brother so that we could find his secrets, but he was one step ahead of up and in that moment he got home in his motorcycle and we had to put the soup away.

there was more to the dream but i guess that shows that it really was a weird dream. but i woke up so happy and renovated from it.

hna Juanita

on Saturday we went to visit a convert and his mom sat down and talked to us.

His mom Juanita is one of the greatest followers of Christ that i know. she really has dedicated her life to him and she is incredible humble and good natured. She is not a member of the church, but she has read the book of Mormon twice and attended church for a year until a leg injury made her have to stay home.

She told us on Saturday that her husband has been unfaithful to her. She found messages on his phone that let her know that he has been cheating on her. The devastation was so real, she was so broken by it. She is the only thing holding her family together and she feels totally alone. she said "i feel so helpless" and she held back tears. She told us "i have forgiven him four times already" this is the fifth time that he has broken her trust and she said it as if she was wondering how she could forgive him a fifth time. and the night before we had had a wonderful home evening lesson about bringing love into the home. and i felt so crushed by the pain that this wonderful selfless woman has felt.

Me and elder Parra tried to comfort her and we told her how she could find the help and comfort of God. We finished the lesson and began to walk home. The whole way home neither of us said a word. I can´t tell you how much i love that good sister and her family. It tears me apart.

My feelings

People, guys, gals, whoever you are. know that I know that Jesus Christ is a real being. He will one day defeat all the evil in this world. He will cast it out. He will fix our broken bodies and place our spirits back in them and give us life again. In that day we will all see him as he is. We will look into his eyes and fall at his feet. We should live every day of our lives doing our best to follow him, that is the only way to find lasting happiness.
