Hello again!
This week was absolutely crazy, we did so many things, I'm not even sure where to start. :P
For starters, we had an amazing temple trip with a recent convert, where we managed to sneak into the session with a bunch of MTC missionaries. It was very strange, seeing so many white people in one place again. :P On the way out of the temple, I actually bumped into my MTC teacher, Hermano Gallegos! It was cool to catch up a bit, especially now that I can talk to him in Spanish. ;)
Also this week: We made pizza with the Elders Quorum, had interviews with President, and one of our baptismal dates almost gave us the slip by moving to Aguas Calientes. (She called us on Saturday, and told us that her sister came to get her, and she wouldn't be able to see us anymore. And then on Sunday, she called us again to say that actually, that's not true, she couldn't leave because work. So... we're still good!)
Also, I tried a new food this week! They're called Tlayudas, and they're from Oaxaca. Imagine a burrito, but folded like a quesadilla, with a toasted flour tortilla, and cooked in lard. In short, they're delicious, and you should try them.
Lastly, a spiritual thought: This week, I was studying about studying. (Redundent, but hey) Something that really stood out to me was the emphasis on continually learning no matter what stage of life we're in. And an important part of that is building on precious learning. Of course, in order to do that, we need to remember what we've already learned. And something that really helps with that is keeping a study journal. So. Do it. :)
That's all for this week!
