I gave this kid (Adam) one of those breath strips that are really minty. He was gagging and acting like he was going to throw up cause it was so much mint at once and he couldn't handle it. 
A hilarious member of the church.

Weekly Update:
This last week has been totally awesome!
Elder Steele and I were teaching some gospel lessons to some people, and we got one member in our church family to help us teach them. She just recently got her mission call to serve a mission just like I am doing now. She is in the same place I was in about two and a half months ago. She is super cool and she was already so good at teaching people. After we were done with lessons, we went back to the church to read the scriptures together and she asked us for some help with one of her school projects. She didn't know how to put captions on the video she was making and do some other things. I would have literally had no idea how to do anything, but all while I was growing up, my Mom, "Mommy" =), has been making videos on iMovie. She makes a new YouTube video for every vacation, family reunion, loose tooth, etc. She has tons of experience with it. Anyways, it is actually really awesome and I can't wait when I get older and I can watch all these videos from my childhood. But back to the point, I got to use the knowledge I have received from my Mom to help this one girl from Thailand. (Never thought that would happen did ya Mommy) It was fun!
This week one of the members in our ward asked Elder Steele and I to come help her carry something heavy up to her apartment. So we went to go help her, and the thing we needed to carry was one of those Massive box TVs. Goodness gracious that thing was heavy! We had to carry it up 4 flights of stairs, and there was a few times I thought we were gonna fall down the stairs with that thing following. I believe the Spirit of God was giving us the extra strength we needed to carry it all the way up. When we got it all the way up the stairs, she brought out a bunch of food for us and I was super thankful for that. =) It was fun to help her.
I got to eat a ton of crazy foods this week. Just some examples of food that I got to eat was, squid, eel, grasshoppers, larva, fish eggs, cockroach’s, this other strange meat that tasted like a tire, and other stuff that I have no idea how to pronounce or explain. I love eating the crazy food. People are always like, Hey! You're new in Thailand! Eat this bug! And I always just pop it with no hesitation and do my best interpretation of Tarzan or the Hulk.
When we have free time in between lessons, we do what is called “inviting”. We do our best to invite everyone we see or meet to learn about Jesus Christ. If they aren't interested in that, we invite them to learn English from us. We have an English class that we teach every Tuesday night and it is super fun because the Thai people love learning English. For the Thai people, it is a super big advantage in life if you know English because almost every company will take someone who speaks English in Thailand. I love talking to the younger kids because they are more on my level of Thai than the adults are. They also love it when they see a falong (or a white person). They use all the English they know to speak to me and it's cute that they like trying. It makes me feel more confident in just trying to speak as much as I can.
I hope everyone who reads this has a great week! (I guess everyone who doesn't has one too, but I hope you guys have a SUPER special week compared to them)
