Hey Family, I'm not sure how long this email will be, but we'll see. Anyways this week was good. We did a lot of finding, but the work is going well. We keep finding cool people, it's just difficult to find them again usually, but little by little. This week I went on an exchange with a zone leader, elder Seibold. That was a lot of fun and I had a good time with him. I learned a little bit more about how to magnify my assignment as well, how to best help the district. I also went on an exchange with elder Schoen. That was good as well. We just worked a bunch and went to the temple since there was temple tours this week. There was a RCLA that went so we got to go as well and check out the temple, it was fun and good to feel the spirit there. Also this week I tried some strange foods, first off I got some sushi (it's super good), there's one roll called the dragons crown which was good and another that was tempura shrimp and on the outside it had salmon, also really good. Later in the week we saw a less active guy, we still need to see if he has records still. But when we were there he gave us a caldo de mariscos (seafood soup thing), but inside of it was octopus so that was interesting. Yesterday on Sunday we ate at the Luna's afterwards we went to his parents house across the street and I tried menudo for the first time. Man that stuff is weird, for those that don't know it's the stomach lining of a cow. The taste is ok, but the texture got to me. It's one of those dishes that not many missionaries enjoy. Other than that this week was normal. I honestly can't remember much of what happened, but that's how it goes. (Thank goodness for journals). But I love you all and hope you all have a great week!!
