Hibachi Grill, The Most Interesting Man in the World and Elders Quorum

Hello everyone! I didn't have the most exciting week but I have a few stories worth sharing.

   We have an investigator named Fernando, and he is a super interesting guy. After our last lesson with him, he told us he wanted to take us out to lunch or make us food. Fernando is a great guy, but he kind of gives me the heebie jeebies. So in order to avoid getting poisoned or end up in a hospital somehow, we suggested that we go to subway, which he immediately shut down and demanded that we go to a "boofet de china" called hibachi. I felt a little bit like I was walking into an ambush but we agreed. We ended up having  a  nice lunch, and a great lesson about the word of wisdom after he ordered a tea and asked us about if we can drink it.

In other news, this week I went on exchanges with our zone leaders and had a swell time. We met this one guy on our last door of the night who looked a little too hip to be living in the crummiest part of Des Moines. He invited us in, and told us about a 51 country tour he had just returned from. He had worked in a vineyard and lived on a beach in New Zealand, he had taught english In Saigon and traveled the world on a motorcycle. He had visited That building carved into the wall from Indiana Jones III and sailed through the Caribbean. This guy should be the Dos Equis most interesting man in the world. We asked him about if he was religious and he told us about how he had gone all over the US on a motorcycle talking to spiritual leaders to try and find  the answers. He was a self proclaimed agnostic, and talked about how he had spent some time in Salt lake City talking to missionaries. He had read the Book of Mormon, but he just never got the personal witness he wanted so he moved on. We know that if he had been really intent on getting an answer, he would have. It was sad to see that this guy had spent so much time running around looking for something, but he had rejected it as soon as he found it. He told us he wasn't really interested and gave us the directions to some incredible taco trucks.

Elders Quorum here is crazy. We have some pretty funny old guys here who basically just yell at eachother in spanish the whole time. Yesterday Hermano Crespo, a veteran from the El Salvadorean Civil War was shouting doing another guy telling him how much he loved him, it is a good time.

I love you all a lot, have a good week!
