Too much food & Great Mission moment

All is well here in McMinnville... so you remember when i said that i love the food here.. i still do.. but it is sad because im forced to be a food addict.. it is soo frustraiting sometimes. we get fed soooooo much.. I'd have to say every 2 hours on an average day or maybe a little less someone gives us food.. it shouldnt make me mad, i should be gratefull that our investigators and members likes us.. but come on. it makes me so angry because im gaining weight i weigh 190 Pounds!! its sick!.. the worst part is that i can't decline the food.. i think i offended one of our members because i literally could not keep eating the food. and so they assume i am a picky eater.. so now ill probably be known as a picky eater in the ward.. it's frustrating but i dont care. they just dont understand that my body can only eat so much... i cant even start to describe to you guys how important food is to them. it is really kind of sad.. on a happier note, I'm loving everything else in the mission, my companion is awesome and the weather is FINALLY SUNNY!! it gives me so much happiness.
 
We are starting to teach a lot more, we taught 20 lessons.. whoo hoo.. we still don't have any dates for baptism.. something super humbling and super cool that we saw this past week is that we went to go visit one of our investigators who is in a less active family(actually just the dad). our investigator wasn't there but the dad was. he let us in.. long story short. he is this scary Mexican.. and by the end of our "chat" he was crying just opening up his heart to us, telling us how he wants to change, and how he wants to come back to church and how he wants to repent of all the things he's done and how he wants to go to the temple with his wife.. its lessons like that.. that make me grateful to be a missionary and to be able to help people. its lessons like that, that makes the mission worth it.. to see someone change or want to change and come unto Christ.
 
i look forward to the call this next sunday, love you guys
