We eat with members often out here, and something that always happens every single meal, is the family, laughing their heads off, pushes the hot sauce over to me and asks me to try it. then it gets super quite when they see me put it on my food... and eat it like it was nothing haha. Then they just say... woah, Californians can really handle spicy foods. Then i just tell them that my mom always ate spicy foods, so i guess it just runs in the family.
also, with the new schedule, we leave the house at 9 in the morning, and we have to do the rest of our studies at a park or somewhere in your area. well my area doesn't have a park, so we just sit outside by the road. anyways, while we're studying, the bishop sees us and asks me to give a talk on sunday. It was saturday, so i had one night to prepare for it. i mean, i probably would have ended up waiting till i had one night left to start anyways, but i like the choice of having more time haha. I don't know how i did it, but i got up there and gave a 15 minute talk about missionary work in nothing but Spanish! After sacrament meeting there was someone i had never seen before, he was just a random guy who came to church. anyways, he comes up to my companion and i and asks us how he can be a missionary, because he wanted to go on a mission. then we told him he had to be a member first, so now we're teaching him the lessons haha.
That's all for this week.
