Putting "Gangsta's" In Their Place...

 Hello everybody!! I hope everything is going fantastic for y'all. Did you remember to smile? Well this week wasn't as busy as last week, but there were a couple highlights for sure. 

Now you may be wondering about the title so let me explain to you what that's all about. On Saturday we met with our friend Delancey down at the basketball courts because he wanted to play with us a little bit. We played a couple games of horse while we were teaching him (A little background on what's about to happen, everyone around Delanceys town knows who he is because he is always walking around singing. This where the title comes into play) While we were playing horse 4 teenagers walked up and said "wat up" to Delancey. We asked them if they wanted to play 3 on 3 and they agreed. Now these teenagers are your typical white, think they are gangsters, pot smoking, think they run the town kids, and they were up in the clouds when they came up to us. Elder Young and I realizing that they think they are all that, had to teach them a lesson on the court. Also, keep in mind this hoop was a tiny bit shorter than 10 feet which meant I could dunk. The teams were Delancey, Young and I versus the 3 hoodrats and we absolutely destroyed them haha. Elder Young was throwing me Oops, Delancey was draining threes, and all in all we made them look like fools haha. It was even more embarrassing for them because we were in our church clothes and dress shoes. I don't think I have ever been as good at basketball as I was in that moment haha. I think they're a little salty they lost because they told us they wanted a rematch, so we will be playing them again this week after we teach our friend.

We were also able to go to church again which was awesome! We just found out that we will be going back to church every week now with everyone able to attend which is awesome.

Helaman 5:12 is an amazing scripture and an amazing reminder for all of us. You all should go and give it a read and then ponder on how you can apply it to your lives.

Well that's the week for y'all! Remember to keep on smiling and looking for ways to serve others!

Tangiringkami ni kabane!
