What I'd do for a bowl of Clam Chowder...


...or Cheese and potato soup! Guys, I love American soup. I love Spanish soup too. I just love hot food. We´ve been getting soaked every day for half a week and I´m just craving some hearty, yummy soup. 

Thankfully, we were fed a soup after this manner once this week. It was delicious. It had pumkin in it, it was a garbanzo bean stew thing. No idea what its called. So, so good. At that same members house we also tried on flamenco dresses and took lots of pictures. So fun! I felt like a Spanish princess. :) She couldn´t quite figure out how to use my camera so a lot of them are pretty fuzzy, but they´ve still got the great memories attached. 

That same day that we were taking pictures with her was the first day of the rainy weather. Leaving her house we were kind of late for correlacíon so we were running for the bus. It was pouring and windy so the rain was  coming down sideways. Thus, we were completely and utterly soaked. And .... we lost our phone. Yep. Awful. We realized it in correlation. And thanks to our wonderful, loving zone leaders we are able to borrow one of their phones while we wait for our new one. We tried calling our phone but it was off, aka ruined. It was a real pain to lose all our numbers, but thankfully we had some written down and got the most important ones from other people. 

But the BEST news of this week is that we had lots of people in church! We had THREE investigators in church (and her son that´s 7) and TWO less actives. I´ve never had so many people come to church before. It was such a huge blessing, it made us all just want to sing and dance or do somethign else equally redicioulous. And everyone seemed to enjoy it. One of them was Christofer, our investigator who is wanting to be baptized. His friend, Luis, came with us too. We picked them up before church and brought them with us because Christofer didn´t want to ride his moto in the possible rain (it did, in fact, end up raining. A lot.).  Cristofer was awesome, because he was the one  who got Luis to come. Whenever we´ve invited Luis he really hasn´t wanted to come to church. I don´t know what Cristofer did,  but he got Luis to come. And Luis said he liked it. I was able to talk to him on the bus and he´s a really cool guy, I´m excited to keep teaching him.
Carena and her son, Greco came too. We have church backwards here so Greco came with teh bishops wife so he could go to primary while Carena was at work. She came at the end of the first hour and is seriously already part of the ward. She stayed even longer than us at the church. I was so excited to see all of them like church so much. 

I have a lot of appreciation for hte Lord and his work. Because honestly, I didn´t do anything. All we did was pay for the bus ride and say here´s the church. The Lord has done everythign else. I feel so privlidged to be able to see him at work.

I love you guys a lot! I hope you all have a good week and stay warm and dry! Eat some soup for me, will ya?
