This week was full of some interesting food... On Wednesday we had a family home evening with one of the families in our ward and she gave us some of that Mexican corn. Nacho Libre makes it look way good and honestly it sucks. They put this sour mayonnaise and this dry cottage cheese on it and it is not very good. Then the next day she pulls the reverse uno card on us and made the best fish I have ever had! Today was definitely the best one... I ate a freaking turtle! It had like no flavor but it was still bomb because I knew I was eating one of the Ninja Turtles.
The work has been slow. Every time we think we have someone who is interested they drop us so it is kind of discouraging. Well with every bad thing, there is a positive. Today we ate with the Bishop and he told us that nobody in his family is a member and they were being taught by the missionaries before the area closed. We set an appointment with them for this week and I really think that there will be something from this!
Another cool thing happened this week. We were walking around at about 8 at night and we were going to go visit a member that lives in a little sketchier part of town and somehow we got lost even though we knew where he lived. We decided that we would go to another members house that is closer to ours and when we told her we got lost she was happy about it. She told us that we shouldn't go to that area past dark because there was a shooting the night before. So I think there was a reason we got lost... shoutout to Jesus!
My relationship with the Latinos in our house is awesome. I can barely talk with them but we are all best friends. Elder Montes is my favorite person on this planet. I never feel homesick because he is constantly teasing me haha! I decided to play a prank on him this week because why not. He has like 20 pictures of his girlfriend on his wall so I moved them all to my desk and put a picture of me on his wall and said "amor verdadero" (true love). He didn't think it was funny until I gave him the pictures back, then we laughed for a good 10 minutes, I love that dude!
I am almost done with the Book of Mormon again. I decided I might as well try and read it once a month because that is what I'm on track to do. I read a talk in the Liahona this week by David A. Bednar and in it he talks about the true meaning of Joy. He says how Joy is long lasting happiness and fun is just temporary. As I read in Alma I noticed that Joy was mentioned in a lot of the verses and it is always after the people repent. I don't think that is a coincidence. The Atonement and Jesus Christ are the source of all Joy and I am so grateful for that. I love this gospel so much and am so grateful for it!
Love you all, stay sweet!

(If you guys have the chance, read that talk in the Liahona! I promise you won't regret it!)

| Mojarra, deep fried fish. It was really good! |

| Sorry Raphael. This is the turtle that we ate. They stick the whole turtle in and grill it. Not much flavor, but it wasn't bad. |
