December

So the biggest news of the week, IT GOT COLD HERE!  Obviously, it is nothing like home but the past few days Mendez and I pulled out the sweaters and yesterday we wore our suits!  It been pretty nice!  This morning it was about 10 degrees C.  It is hilarious to see the people here ... they walk around with scarves, gloves, heavy jackets, the whole show!  Based on their clothes, you would think it is in the 30's F.

Outside of the cold, this week was pretty normal.  On Wednesday, we were able to teach this super awesome family that is investigating the church.  They have come to church the past two weeks.  The mom, Flor, recently divorced her husband and she has two kids, Jose Maria (10 years old) and Salvador (7 years old).  Her kids are crazy smart.  Jose Maria knows the Bible better than we do.  In the lesson, he was throwing out quotes from the Bible left and right .. he is crazy smart!  And Salvador too .. he has the deepest voice I have ever heard from a 7 year old!

On Friday, we went and visited Hermano Juan again, which is always super fun.  Another one of his cows gave birth this week so when we visited, we went to see his new cow.  This time, we actually got photos with it, the mom was less protective than the other one.  We also helped him herd the cows so he could milk a couple.  So yeah ... that was way fun!





Another fun part of this week was ... the food again!  HA!  When we went and visited Arturo and Soledad, we bought the biggests hamburgers I've ever seen.  They tasted amazing too!  The other fun food was when we went with Hermano Juan.  They fed us Mondongo!  Which is cow stomach!  hehe!  It is pretty good ... once you get over the fact that you're eating cow stomach!




Lastly, this Sunday was the children's program and they asked for my help to play the piano for it.  So this week I spent a lot of time with the little kids playing Primary songs which was way fun too!  A bit stressful .. they are all quite wild and crazy!  HA!  That was my week!  Miss you all and have a great week!


Love,
Elder Gurney
