WEEKLY NEWS

But anyway today was a decent week, we had a lot of good lessons with different people and a few new people that I had yet to meet until now, so I feel like this week was a good week for missionary work. We have a recent convert named Curtis (actually he's the foster parent of Mohamed) and he is really cool, it's
funny every time we go over to his house he always asks me "So! Elder Kissner, Ask me any question" because I suppose I just don't know him as well as Elder Foulger who did all the work with him basically, So I told him I was going to fill a few pages in my notebook with random questions that I should ask him.. So
I thought I would pose that question to you all... Come up with any question, ANY question in the world that you would possibly ask someone, and if I like it I will put it in my book of questions to ask Curtis. He will get a kick out of it. Also, interesting thing, he wants to call Elder Foulger's mom and talk to her, which is kind of weird if you ask me, however if we do end up having a slightly better relationship over time, he may ask to talk to you guys... which in fact... may also be weird. But I don't know, I doubt it, but if you guys get a call from a guy named Curtis Mertz, or Bro. Mertz, or something like that (maybe even Mohamed) you now know who he is! But anyway things have been going alright, we have been teaching Mohamed a lot, we've been trying to read the book of mormon stories out of the children's book of mormon with him and he seems to be enjoying it. We also taught him a really interesting little finger game to remember the 10 Commandments;

1: point 1 finger up to God, there is only one God
2: pointer finger and pinky extended, thumb over two middle fingers to make bull skull, no worshiping things that aren't God
3: put three fingers over your mouth, no speaking bad things
4: touch your pinky's and your pointer fingers to the opposing pinky and pointer to make a steeple, Remember the sabbath
5: three fingers up on one hand, two on the other, three fingers bow to two, Honor thy father and mother
6: make two guns with your hands 3 fingers used on each hand, don't kill anyone
7: one hand has 5 fingers up, the other has 2 and the 2 fingers go in between the other 5 like breaking up a family, don't commit adultery
8: one hand has 5 fingers up, other has two and the thumb, thumb hand steals the thumb off the other hand and now they both have 4, Don't steal
9: 4 fingered hand goes into the shape of a bear claw and you say we don't bear false witness, and you have the other hand act like a mouth and talk behind the bear claw, like going behind someones back, don't lie
10: both hands reach everyone and grab at the air all over like they want everything, don't covet

So yeah... it's a little weird, but it works for a family home evening lesson! and this time I planned it and organized it (kinda) from really far away! I just need a proxy to go and do the work for me (kinda like missionary work and Christ hmm... not that I'm trying to compare myself to Christ, that might just be a
little bit blasphemous) anyway... this letter is long enough, time to go see what books I can find.. kthxbai!
