Que pasa calabaza!
This week was awesome, as usual. Nice and hot, staying around 99 to 102 on the daily, so that's always nice. I would try to sympathize with the "Heat Wave" in Foster City buuuuut low 90's is heavenly over here...hahaha :)
I've told y'all about A, right? He's the 5 year old that is basically the coolest kid ever and we have dinner with his family basically every Thursday. (cada jueves es el dia de Adrian!) And Hermana makes the most delicious y picosa comida ever. It's not TERRIBLY pica (spicy) but it's more than I'm used to, and it's soooooo good! Isn't there a saying that spicy food makes your spanish better? I'd say it's pretty dang true. Like a few weeks ago, we had hamburgers, but Mexican style because there were jalapenos in the patty and we put homemade salsa with the ketchup. Pretty legit.
We also have been helping Hermana V for the past week a little bit, she's in the relief society presidency and we're having a ward party this friday (i've heard Spanish Barrios have the craaaaaziest fiestas! I'm sooooo excited) and so we were helping her make papel picado for some decorations as service, and we loooove this Hermana because she's this cool Grandma and just makes us all this gourmet food and delicious strawberry lemonade and basically just pampers us and pretends to talk gringa spanish. She's a funny lady. AND she gives us referrals like every time we go over there so that's pretty awesome.
So fun fact, there are 100million different churches here. We drive past like 20 during our 5 minute drive to church. SO you know how some churches have those little billboard/signs where they have a scripture and the name of the church or whatever they want, right? So we saw a sign that said the following, "After School Child Care" with the quotation marks and everything. Note for the future anyone who's making signs for anything: NEVER put quotation marks around anything if you want it to sound legit. We think it's so funny, but then again we're missionaries and we're weird like that...asi es.
Also, my studies brought me across a beloved scripture that I'm sure is Dad's favorite: Alma 19 verse 5. :)
This week we met this really cute couple named O and M and they're so cool! It turns out they have family in Mexico that are LDS and we taught them the first lesson and they're like "yeah, this all makes sense!" and so we set a baptismal date for October 21st! They basically have the cutest family ever and so we're really excited to keep visiting with them. It's actually a bit of a miracle that we found them, we were looking through an old list of potential people to visit, and we saw this lady that used to live in their house, knocked on their door, and even though it was a different family than we expected, we found this super golden family to teach!
AND 3 of our favorite less active families came to church yesterday! We were soooo happy :)
That Applesauce y'all made sounds delicious! I want to learn how to do stuff like that some day, that sounds fun! And way to go Aragon on the game with Jefferson, it sounds like a good start to the season, and that will be fun that Aunt Lys and Aunt Carrie will be able to see Nat play this week. And good thing BYU finally won a game, especially against Texas! (don't worry, I haven't been converted to any of this longhorn business. Hispanics only watch futbol, not football.) And that's so fun that Jody and Melia were in town por un ratito! I'm glad they're all doing well :)
Send my love to everyone!
I love being a missionary, thanks for all your love and support!
Love,
Hermana Sangre
