Falling Into Cactus

Hey this week was good!! We picked up a new investigator named Perla, she's super sweet. It's a rule here that you can't hold babies or kids so you can imagine how hard that is for me. So many cute kids in my ward!! I made your banana cookies with frosting this week and they were so good!! I got the ingredients to make French silk pie so I'll make that for Easter and another for a family in my ward that is struggling. The people here are seriously the best. My ward is so missionary minded and they help us a lot with the missionary efforts.

 

 

So the other night my companion and I were sitting on this wall with a cool view of San Marcos while we were making some calls at the end of the night. My companion's planner fell off the wall. On one side of the wall is a parking lot but on the other side was shrubbery and stuff. She jumps down to get her planner and she falls right into a cactus!! She was crying and laughing at the same time but I couldn't stop laughing at her!! I'll send a picture of the needles that were in her leg, they were huge and looked like toothpicks. She had like 30 of them stuck in her leg.

 

 

We get 2 dinners in a row some nights and it's really hard, I don't like it. The Mexican culture likes to stuff you full of food so if you say no to more, then they think you don't like the food. So when we have 2 dinners in a row it makes me want to throw up! But they are so nice and willing to feed us so I'm grateful for it. The best food I've had so far is called  Sopes. Sooo good. I haven't really had anything too weird yet, it's usually meat, beans, rice, and tortillas.

 

 

I love you guys so much!!
