Hello All!
So I'm looking for something cool to tell you all about! First thing is that Elder Merrill and I have been together as companions for a week and that has been really cool so far! We work really hard together as well as have a good time. When we bike to places we often see who can ride the best wheelies! I'm getting better! My goal is to ride a better wheelie than my dad but the time I get home. You've been warned!
As far as how the work is going, we have been working with the members in our branch a lot these last few weeks and it has been lots of fun! They have opened up to us tons and we are gaining their friendship. One of the nights we went and got tacos with Hermano Robles (counselor in branch presidency), Hermana Roper (Relief Society Pres), and Hermana Ropers brother! It was super fun and the food was good! This guy started selling tacos from the front porch, but eventually people starting coming so much it blocked the neighborhood roads and the police told him he couldn't do it at his house anymore. So now he sells them at this abandoned bowling alley! It is actually super fun to go and eat there! They out every cut of meet into the taco and the tripa (intestine) and lengua (tongue) are actually the best ones and the most popular that he makes.
I think I've fallen in love with the tacos here. There are taco trucks about every block and they sell tacos for really cheep! Usually around $1 a taco! You can go and get them loaded up with all the toppings and then put some really good salsa over the top. They are nothing like the American tacos, these put those tacos to shame!
We also are going to have a lot of dinners with members in the coming months, which is something that hasn't really happened that much since I've been here. It's going to be awesome to be able to meet with the families in their homes. We are always so grateful for them feeding us and we hope by the time we leave we have fed them spiritually. The branch here is so strong and the members really show the light of Christ in everything they do.
This last Tuesday we got to spend a lot of it with an investigator named Geovanni! He is from Nicaragua and he us super fun to be around. He works in the mall at the Chinese restaurant. We taught a really good lesson to him and his sister. We then went to dinner with him at a really good Mexican restaurant that he works at as well! He just bought a car this last week and it was the first time he drove so that was interesting! He did really good for it being his first time driving, and the food was super good.
Christmas is right around the corner and I am so excited! I think the biggest gift I will love and cherish is my family! I will be able to Skype on Christmas and I am so excited to talk to them! My family is the best gift the Lord has given me. I'm also so grateful that they all now live so much closer together. I pray for all of you daily.
So much love for all of you!
