Buen Día!

So I met a super awesome family this week! It's an older couple that are members here in Senillosa. The both were widows and three years ago they got married and the husband got converted and baptised in the church and then they got sealed in the temple. Oh, and they have over 80 years old... Really their story is so awesome!

Also, we ate lunch yesterday with an older couple in our ward yesterday and they drove us out to their house which is way out in the campos and i couldn't help but laugh the whole way there. This old couple was driving us in their old car and basically just off roading the whole way to their house hahaha. Really it was just too funny how crazy he was driving over mounds of dirt, sand, rocks, and everything else. Don't worry though we made it there safely and in good enough condition to be able to eat raw bacon... yup. We definitely ate really thick really raw bacon. And when I say raw I mean i'm pretty sure they might have just chopped their pig up in the morning and put the meat in the fridge and then they served it to us. So at least it was cold raw meat. And then to top it off we had a really great lesson after they crazy ride back into town with Luis who is our 79ish year old investigator and he served us fruit salad afterwards. With bananas, peaches, apples, oranges, and lots of fruit juice. Only one small detail was that I'm pretty sure he made it weeks ago.... My companion threw up later that day. It may have been fermented or something... it definitely was brown. We couldn't not eat it though.... haha. Pretty sure my stomach can take anything now.

Things are going really well though! Super weird that I passed my 9 month mark on friday. And as a gift to me we had a really good turn out to our dessert competition activity!! And then on sunday we had 50 people in the sacrament reunion!!!! Which is huge from the week before with about 23! We've got a super awesome part member family that we're teaching too and we've got 4 baptism dates now!

Really hope all is going well for you guys! love you all to the end of the earth and back (cause that's where I am).
