We gave up chocolate and Mormons don't even observe Lent!

So right now chocolate is the worst thing in the world. The sister missionaries here have an investigator who is having problems with the word of wisdom. She apparently smokes a pack a day, drinks 8 beers, and drinks a ton of coffee everyday. And to break addictions is really hard, especially when it's part of your daily routine. To help support her, the sisters have gone on a chocolate fast. They aren't eating chocolate to help support giving up all tobacco and stuff. Elder Huntsman and I were asked to join the fast. I felt kind of bad at first because we don't really eat that much chocolate, and we didn't feel like we were giving up much. I don't know why, but ever since we started this fast we have been receiving so much free chocolate and things with chocolate in it. Kinda bites but it's ok. The sisters’ investigator is really progressing. She is down to two cigarettes and a cup of coffee a day. I think she might be getting baptized soon.

Also this week we had general conference. It was fantastic. I was luckily able to watch it in English. We had a small room upstairs in the church were it was being played. The room was packed full of missionaries. We invited a lot of our friends to come show up, but only one came. Unfortunately, he didn't enjoy it that much. But he did think the conference center was a nice building. A little bummed that all he got from it is that our church has a nice building in Utah.

Anyway these weeks questions:

1. You said your companion is from Utah, which town?

    He's from Alpine. I think it's close to Provo.

2. What is Elder Huntsman like?

    Really funny. He's a bit of a music nerd. Likes music and video games. And likes playing video game music. He's really good at peeling onions. One might call him the best.

3. Did Elder Huntsman go to college before his mission? If so, where?

    UVU. I think that's Utah Valley University.

4. What are some things he likes to do?

    He loves to play trumpet. Though he says he really wants to learn French horn.

5. What is something funny about Elder Huntsman?

    He is really good at flailing his arms. In fact all of his companions have picked up his flaily arms. Including me.
