Sagu , Angels, and Trump

Sorry everyone but this is gonna be a short one! How is everyone doing by the way? I hope you're enjoying the nice fall weather...because I'm still on my 16th month of Summer in a row!

Anyways this week we had a couple of highlights that I'd like to share:

Last P-day we found a field and we played real American football. Like real football. It's been well over 16 months that I have even picked up a ball and thrown one. It just felt awkward for some reason. It didn't feel right. We had a way fun time even though I was dropping more balls than usual and my route running was slower ;)

We ate this stuff called 'Sagu' at a members house. If you can imagine the cinnamon challenge for  Americans, that is what Sagu is for these Ibans. Uncooked rice mashed up with dried coconut and a whole lot of sugar and some other stuff, I'm not sure. It was so hard to get down, oh my, Haha!  Elder Haslam and I were laughing so hard trying to finish it. It tasted just fine, it was just the texture. I think it took me 20 minutes to take like 10 spoonsful. 
 
 
Oh while I am on the topic of food I also had cereal this week. I can't tell you how long it has been since I last did that. I can't remember that's how long. Well it tasted delicious! Again though, it felt pretty weird to be American...

We taught this sweet Indian man this week who is golden for sure. This man sees angels and gets personal revelation and the whole 9 meters. Well, I mean he believes that he can break and bless his own sacrament to himself and friends, but that we will discuss :) .  He paid for our lunch because he claimed "It's on Trump!" Apparently he won a bet, and got some money, so we ate out.  He said that like 10 times and just kept buying more food for us, haha. Good times!

Love you all!    Elder Thompson
