Week 34

Hey Family,

This week kinda sucked haha. It started off bad because every p-day we like to go out to eat at a restaurant and last week was no different. We decided to go to Burger King because they are the only restaurant that offers free refills. After p day was over we had a lesson with Wilson and during the lesson I was burping a lot. We got home and I didn't feel good and I went to the bathroom and lost all the Burger King. I was throwing up every hour that night and didn't get any sleep. I lost stuff I ate 2 weeks ago haha and after that I couldn't sleep. I had to miss the zone conference the next day which I was sad about because a ton of my buds were there. There is one upside to the story. I lost some weight and now I look like the Hollywood movie stars. I think I will do this more often haha just kidding it was awful. Never thought BK would betray me like that. President called to see if I was still alive but all is well now.

We had a couple good lessons with Carla and I wasn't feeling good and I was tired of her excuses so I was bold and just said, "You know you need to get baptized" and we marked her for this Saturday but she called the other night and she said she can't quit smoking and she will never be a Mormon because of all of our rules. We tried talking to her and she said we could pass by and she knows the church is true but she doesn't like the "rules"...or the commandments. We decided to give her some time to think and so we will pass by next week but it sucked.

We taught Wilson a little this week but he still isn't reading so I don't know what to do with him. We had a good lesson with him on the importance of the BoM but he still has trouble reading and believing without seeing the gold plates. Keily came to church again and she is really liking it. She is probably our closest to baptism and her kids are adorable. Her daughter kept yelling during sacrament and said the cutest things.

We had a family night with the Silvas last night which makes everything better always. They are my favorite family and they always make us pancakes. We have a family night with the bishop tonight so I will let you know how that goes and try to take more pictures haha, I kinda spaced it this week. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I love you guys!

Love,

Elder Ruggles
