Feasting...on the Word and Latin American food

Things that happened: 

* We discovered a very large bug in our supply closet. We tried to catch said bug, and ended up losing it in the process (which was even scarier than finding it in the first place!) But our prayers were answered, and we were able to find and kill him the next day. (By the way, bleach makes a great bug killer. Especially if you don't want to get close enough to actually squish it. I have utilized this cleaning spray method twice now in this apartment). When we were explaining this all to the ladies at the library where we do service, they informed us that this specific cricket eats paper and fabric. So, it makes sense he was hanging out in the supply closet with all the pamphlets and Books of Mormon (Book of Mormons?). He was literally feasting on the words of Christ! 

* The branch activity on Friday went great! Elder Langi (my former Zone Leader, as he was transferred out just today) played the guitar and sang along with me. The members in the audience joined in for the last chorus. And now they want me to sing in church next week. 

* Also about the activity. It was a culture night with our branch, celebrating all the different Latin American countries they come from. Literally every person who came brought some sort of traditional dish from their país. We had food from Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Bolivia, and of course Mexico. It was delicious! The walls were all decorated with flags and streamers. And at the end, 5 couples in the branch performed a traditional Mexican dance. All in all, a really fun night. We even had a less active we have been working with come! 

* Transfers! As a baby, I stay where I am for another 6 weeks with Sister McCoy. 
Love, Me
