Blistered Toes and Sideways Rain

Hola,

Well I am not exactly sure what happened last week with my letter. I wrote it and I thought that I had attached it. Oh well. I hope that this one makes it this week.

It sounds like everyone had a good time in Arizona without me. I am not nearly as jealous about the café rio, the guac, the salsa, and all the other tasty stuff that you all ate as I would be because I have finally found cilantro. One of the sisters in the branch went searching for me and now she has it growing in her garden. I will be chomping down on some tasty items in just a short while.

I have officially done all there is to do as a branch president. I have now done temple interviews. One of our sisters will be going through the temple to receive her endowment and I am pretty stoked for her. We are making empanadas so that those that want to go can go. If any of you would like to buy empanadas it will be 8 pesos or 2.30 dollars for a dozen and they will arrive in about 3 months all nice and moldy. We will see how it goes this week and that will decide the next three weeks.

Sunday we had a decent turn out at church for not having the combi to pick people up. The majority walked to church. I was happy to see my two assigned speakers come through the doors. One of the sisters made a promise with Heavenly Father that she would walk to church every week for some amount of time that she decided. I tried to have another sister drive her home but she refused to go home in a car.

Our Saturday lunch appointment gave us this fruit for dessert. I don´t remember what it is called but is really fun to eat. It has a texture like that of the kiwi. I was completely surprised to find a white inside when I cut into it. It was extremely juicy but lacked flavor. The cool thing about it was the skin because you can´t scrape into it with your spoon so it is safe eating from the time you cut it in half.

My toe had some sort of blister on it so I took care of it and took a picture. It may be a bunion forming but I don´t know because I just don´t know what a bunion is or isn´t? I also have no clue as to how you spell that word. I hope you enjoy the photo of my big toe.

I did divisions with Elder Stone the 7´2” giant. We went out in the morning because our power was out. While we were out there we took some pictures of the sky. We thought the day would be a nice one....we were wrong. It rained really hard around 3 pm in the afternoon. The rain was flying sideways because of how strong the wind was. I took a picture of a raindrop for all of you.

We had interviews yesterday and I can tell you all that I will still be in the mission. We are trying really hard right now to find a family to baptize in April. President del Castillo wants us to watch the Lamb of God with a family and then put a baptismal date right after watching it. So that is what our strategy is but we still need a family to try it out on.

I hope that everything continues to go well back home. I hope that our economy gets a little stronger so I can stop hearing about it from everyone down here. Man do they like to talk about the states and our problems and yet their problems never cross their minds. Congratulations to Kennedy for her baptism and to Danny for graduating. I love you all.
