What is up familia?? Wow mom your email had so many things on it my mind is just filled with things to say! You know me though... I have the worst memory in the world, so hopefully I can remember them all! Don't worry when I say I'm overwhelmed that's normal. I thought I was alone on the language cuz both my comps are super good with the language, but it's normal!it's so hard for me to keep focusing on what they're saying... because of course my mind goes every direction! :) My companions think I'm crazy sometimes! Haha
Ok so first things up... you wouldn't believe all the things I have eaten this week! BLEH! So first somebody had sopa de mariscos (soup with everything in the sea you can imagine) It had shell fish, mussels, crab, shrimp, uhh I don't even remember everything.. but ya everything! Luckily this is one of the ladies that lets us feed ourselves so I didn't really have to eat it. And I didn't. I tried one bite and noooo I didn't like it :/ Haha anyway, next I had something called Seviche. It was shrimp and some sort of fished cooked in lemon juice. The acid of lemon juice cooks it! It wasn't too bad! Ewww surprisingly the grossest thing I've had is a banana in a soup. I about threw up... it was mushy, ripe, and HUGE! GROSS! Mom I was thinking of you while I was eating it because you would have DIED! But just wait... I TRIED TONGUE! What am I going to do in Argentina?! I'm not liking all these interested dishes! The taste actually wasn't that bad, but the idea was terrible. You could see the tastebuds still... it literally looked like the cows tongue had been chopped off and put into some dressing. I was so proud of myself for trying it though! It was at the cute ladies house that knows what we like, so I didn't have to eat a lot of it. Haha eww ya, not the biggest fan of the texture.
Anyway, now after that excitement. We had such an amazing week! Luz-Marina continues to be AMAZING! I love her! :) She just laughs at me when I laugh, because I can't always understand her... but we have a nice little silent/broken Spanish/English relationship going on cuz she can understand a little bit of English but not really... so we help each other out. I was so excited because she asked why the Elder didn't speak and the other Elder was like "oh because he's new" and then if I understood her right she was like "Well she's new and she's still talking to everyone!" Haha it made my week :) I'm starting to get comfortable with a lot more people... so that helps me alot. But ya Luz is supposed to get married this week most likely, so we'll be helping plan a wedding! Isn't that awesome?! She's so darling! :)
We also have another investigator who is doing so well! We thought her name was Karina... for the past 3 weeks we've been calling her that. Ya friday she was like "my name's Corina." We felt SO bad! But ya she's doing great! Except she's going to El Salvador for 3 weeks. :/ Vacation is never a good thing for investigators because they kind of forget about us. Hopefully not though!
We had exchanges this weekend! I LOVED them! It made me super excited for the different places. Where she is they play Soccer and Volleyball with there investigators! I can't wait to be doing things like that! :) I love it here in Woodbridge though, so it'll be sad when I leave. I don't think I will this transfer yet... but you never know??
Anyway, all is well here! We had a super great week! :) Hope all of the family is doing well! It sounds like you had a fun time for Kristin's b-day! I love that Kaden and Heather made the cookies... haha a little random :) I LOVE YOU ALL!! Thanks for all the support and wonderful examples! I am truly blessed to come from such an amazing family! It is often times that I recognize that being here! Thanks for everything! I know this church is true and I am so beyond grateful to be sharing my testimony with these people who don't know. It blesses us more than we can even comprehend! I've recognized that it's through the hard times that our testimony grows the most! So, when you're having a bad day be grateful for it and build off of it. Because it's part of God's perfect plan for you :) Love you!!! Have a wonderful week!! :)
