Hey y'all. This week was pretty good, I suppose. So we still didn't get our car back, which is a huge bummer. Our area is half of a pretty decently sized town, so we've been walking miles every day. Sometimes we'll get someone who picks us up, always laughing at us cause we're "the Elders from Puerto Rico and Arizona in a terrible snowstorm". I can't tell you how many times I've been blamed for the weather simply because of my last name. Dumb, hahaha. But oh well, I'd probably make fun of myself too (and I do everyday). On the bright side, this was an amazing week for food! We had some pozole verde (Mexico) and ajì de pollo (Peru). Freaking the bomb.com. So we got a text from our bishop last Monday asking if we could speak in sacrament for 10-15 minutes each. If any of you know me pretty well, you'll know I wrote a page the day before, and just winged it during the actual talk. Luckily, it was an awesome opportunity to invite investigators to come watch us speak. So the Miranda family (all of them!!) came and listened to Elder Gonzalez and I talk about the Book of Mormon. I told everyone the story of my parent's plane accident, but didn't tell them it was my family until the very end. It was dope, once I told them that "3 of the children served missions, one in Michigan, one in Oregon, and the youngest to Mexico, waiting for his VISA in Nampa, Idaho" they all gasped. Hahahahaha hilarious. Spanish people are very expressive. I got so many people coming up to me afterwards telling me they felt bad for me and I was like "Okay, thanks Hermana." How do you respond to that? Hahahaha you don't. Anyway, not much else happened. Guys I enjoy Spanish! And it also helps when people come up to you afterwards surprised that you've only had 3 months of Spanish. Always a great feeling. :))) Now I just have to understand what other people are saying. ;)
You're all great and beautiful. Por favor manden me una carta electronico :)))
Vaya con Dios,
Elder Snow
