who sings that song again??

Two weeks ago Leonard Williams was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was the most joyous weekend. 

We celebrated with a FIRE meal cooked by Leonard & the Denham Springs quad. 

Some of the best lines of the evening:

-"by the end of this... y'all are gonna be saying, thank you rib master." 

-"Clogging your arteries is good!!! Add another stick of butter to the mashed potatoes, two isn't enough." 

-"I got CHILLS when I got the Holy Ghost!! For real!"

-"Gumbo would kill yah if I told him tah" (Gumbo is his MASSIVE pit bull)

Kai Bonnette started choking on his pizza... this kid reached down his gullet, with his own hand, & yanked out a HUNK of melted cheese the size of a baseball. I think he saw all 9 years of his life flash before his eyes. 

Went on exchanges with Sister Starling and we biked, so you already KNOW it was a good time. 

Also Louisiana doesn't have sidewalks so we be DODGING cars left & right. 

A real thrill. I've MISSED IT. 

GUYS. Moroni wasn't even planning on writing Moroni????? He just decided to keep writing because he had some extra time on his hands..."PERHAPS they may be of some worth." 

PERHAPS???? PERHAPS????? UHHH because of Moroni we learn SO MUCH about charity, infant baptism, the priesthood, the importance of church, the sacrament prayers, & he straight up tells us what to do once we get the Book of Mormon. 

Forever thankful for Moroni. 

Went to a non-denom church with Isaiah and his pastor called me out for wearing a "burlap sack"!!!!

Isaiah was sobbing laughing & asked if I also wore potato sacks back home..... the answer is yes.  

SORRY I LIKE BAGGY CLOTHES???? 

Isaiah on the way into church, "so are they going to sacrifice me before or after the service?" 

The first time we met Isaiah he was APPALLED that we willingly were members of the church, he thought we were insane & brainwashed.  Now as he has met with us, read from the Book of Mormon, & spent time with other church members his heart is being SOFTENED and his eyes are OPENING. 

This 10 year old kid went over and planted a wet one right on Sister Ervin's face, turns to me & says "kiss for you?" His mom grabbed him by the ear so fast I thought it was gonna rip off. 

All he got from me was a solid high five.
