It's been a good/crazy week. The weather has been better. Let's go through the list.
- So... in our mission we get a weekly email from the mission office with a bunch of key indicator data (how many lessons, baptisms etc) and I found out that 2 people got baptized in Temple, my old area!! Most likely they're people I've taught before so my mind is spinning thinking about who might have been baptized. It doesn't get much better than the euphoria of seeing or hearing about someone you taught/helped getting baptized. D&C 18:15-16 case in point.
- Got in a car accident. It's nothing huge to worry about since it didn't involve another car and no one got hurt (beside the car). No worries, I wasn't the one driving. But yeah. There's a huge scrape on the side of the car, and it's probably going to go into the body shop soon so we might be doing a lot of walking/getting rides...
- on friday, I had one of the most jam-packed days of my life. 2 service projects, 2 lessons, 1 exchange, and 1 awesome day. I've never been so happy to go to bed at 10:30.
- People came to church!!! That hasn't happened here in the last few months! A whole family came to church and they liked it. They all even got haircuts just to go to church.
- we have some amazing members here. For example, yesterday we had dinner with a family that joined the church 3 years ago. They're super active, have been sealed in the temple, have so many desires to help us with the work, and the gospel is definitely the center of their lives.
- I turned 13 months old on thursday. Time is going too fast and I still have a hard time seeing myself as one of those "seasoned veterans" I looked up to not too long ago.
- awkward moment of the month: We came for a teaching appointment with one of our investigators. She invited us in and we soon found out that we were stuck in a 2 hour sales presentation for a $1200 juicer. No joke. I felt so awkward there because we couldn't teach, and we couldn't just leave. And we couldn't possibly buy anything. And to make the whole situation more surreal, it was all in Argentine spanish (the sales reps were from Argentina, pretty interesting accent). But at least we got free serving spoons!
- new food of the week: Rayas. They're sauteed strips of poblano peppers with corn topped with a creamy sauce. I'd recommend looking it up. Pretty yummy healthy Mexican food.
