La fiesta!
This week in our branch
we had Las Fiestas Patrias, which is like celebrating all the of
countries where people in our branch are from! It was so much fun. And there
was so much food. Naturally, we had to try everything from Mole to Empanadas. I
had food from Mexico, El Salvador, Columbia, and Guatemala the next
day. And you have to finish your food or it's really rude. Needless to say
I was totally stuffed. And they sent us home with a bunch of the meat. Guess
what kind of meat. Cow cheek. Yep. We essentially have several cow faces in our
fridge right now:)
My companion and I enjoying the party!
They sent us home with cheesecake too.
Sorry that I'm obsessed with food in this post but, I tried.....and failed to make a drink with milk and orange juice powder, but it was so awful I had to pour it down the sink.
We also had intercambios
(exchanges) this week, so I ended up in Houston city for one day! It was really
fun but it was kind of weird seeing so many people and cars. I love Brazos
and how small and tranquil it is.
This week we had a
couple of the families we're teaching come to church and it was so amazing!
They are such great families. One of them walked in as we were singing
Asombra me da (I stand all amazed). This really is amazing work. The
church that Christ established is on the earth today and it has all the power
to seal families together for time and all eternity.
Remember that, "God
has a perfect plan for His imperfect children; this is the good news you
carry to the world." If you know this is true, share it with
someone today! Everyone should get to have the hope of the Atonement in their
life.
Christ lives and He loves
us.:)
