chipas it is cold here. seriously!!!!!!! The other night we were tracting at 8:00 at night and it was 12 degrees!!!!!!! and it's only November!!!!! so I think the main difference between the cold in Utah and the cold here is that the SECOND you go outside in this kind of cold, your whole body is frozen. Like you can't feel your hands after 10 seconds. So it's the same temperature, but here it like makes you colder faster. But asi es!
so we had a BAUTISMO!!!!!!!!!!!! woo Hermano C. It was such a good day. He was soooo nervioso though haha and it was sort of stressful but everything worked out fine. We also got 2 investigators to come to it! Then after there was some great food. I will send pictures next week, I forgot my camera cord.
So J had a HUGE turnaround this week! So come to find out he didn't fully understand the word of wisdom, he thought 1 beer every once in a while was ok haha so we cleared that up and he has been having a lot of spiritual experiences lately so he is well on his way to being baptized!!!!! He went to the baptism and said he felt like crying, and we told him that was ok to cry and he seemed relieved. Then he told us that he went home after the baptism and read in the book of Mormon and he said he got a confirmation that it is true and he said, "I wanted to call you and shout I KNOW THE BOOK OF MORMON IS TRUE!!!!!!" Ahhhh it's sooo awesome. When he cut out those bad influences his spiritual progression just skyrocketed.
So I was driving the car for a little while, but the mission just got a new rule where they are doing designated drivers, so Hna W has to drive again haha. She is so sick of driving since she has been doing it for like 5 transfers. I'm kinda glad with the snow and all!
So we are kind of teaching this old mexicano couple (we are teaching the abuelito ingles) and last night we went over right when they were finishing dinner and so they let us have some, it was muy rica and picante!!! The tortillas were fresh and handmade...mmmmmmmm. I love Mexican food. Maybe one day I will be in a Spanish ward and get fed Mexican all the time. Haha I just thought of a funny thing that happened a while ago. So we ate dinner with an investigator and he gave us organge soda, and we had a lesson afterwards and all 3 of us were burping like crazy during the whole lesson haha. Too bad it wasn't a burping competition or I would have won!
oh I got the package!!!! And the card is hanging on my wall! My favorite thing was that Anna sanders wrote something in Spanish.....I didn't know she served a mission or served Spanish speaking! But yeah, it's super fun to see. I never would have imagined myself getting one of those. And the bag is super cute, I love it. It works great also.
So we went to this Mexican restaurant in Madelia the other day that was so cheap. I got and enchilada and salad for 2.50 it was GRRRRQUISIMAS.
We started teaching English classes yesterday! We only had Hno. C and J there, but it went really well. We are going to try and have it every week right after church.
I know I keep talking about food but there was so much good food this week......we ate dinner at a less actives home, and it was this really good chicken and this weird yummy rice. I asked her what it was and she said it was Minnesota wild rice. Apparently there is a kind of rice that grows in the lakes here that the native Americans harvest and sell, and it was so good! And I guess it only grow here, so I will have to send some home so you can try it.
That's basically it for this week..........................
