Congratulations Skyler and Maben!! I'm so happy for you! I can't believe that so much is happening with everyone since I left. Isn't the time just supposed to stand still for me while I'm here? I guess not...
Anyway, the work here continues to go forward. It seems like it was really hard to get all of the work done that we needed to with all of the things that were happening with the holidays. New Year's Day we were at the visitor's center at the temple for 4 hours because our mission did two performances. That took a big chunk out of our teaching and contacting time, but it was really fun to be able to perform. Our mission mom recorded it and I think it is on a mission blog that she is doing. It's at armiesofhelaman.blogspot.com if anyone wants to watch it.
Everyone should be proud to know that I had my first seviche experience last night. For those of you who don't know what seviche is, it's basically raw fish that has a bunch of lemon or lime juice on it. The acid from the juice is what "cooks" the fish. Luckily for me, it was mixed in with potatoes and chicken and they were good enough to heat everything up. I just pretended like it was really soft bacon in there and we were good! Haha, it actually tasted really good and I was happy to get the food. I was really hungry.
Well, I hope everyone had some really good holidays and you are all getting settled back into the schedule of everyday life. I pray for you and know that the Lord is blessing all of you and me as well. Missionary work is great! I wish everyone could experience at least part of it. Until next week!
