Hey Mom!!
Thanks for the recipe!! Not sure what buttermilk is in spanish, or corn syrup, and butter doesn´t come in sticks but maybe with a little research I can figure it out! haha I made some sweet food this week and I´ll definitely send pictures so you can be impressed for a minute! I made a full meal for some investigators last night! Well I made a salad, and then soy sauce chicken and white rice and the dad made torijadas which are basically like a spanish version of french toast that is a million times better than fench toast (i´ll try and learn it, i need to get spanis tortilla down first!) Oh but I made Mashed Potatoes for the first time in my life, like no recipe no nada just trying to remember how you made them and I didn't have butter so I used cream cheese but it turned out super good! My companion pretty much loves my cooking haha I´m learning! Too bad our stupid oven is broken... Hmm bueno,
Have I had anything thrown at me... Good question, I usually forget the bad things people say or do, but nothing super lame I don't think... A bottle, trash, and I think one time someone tried spitting at us but I can't remember... Definitely have leaned a lot of patience in my 7 months or so serving a mission. I had to laugh at Kendal´s email this week where she said that she had a door slammed on her by someone saying they are catholic... Just cuz like that happens to me with 90 of every 100 people I talk to :)
And yes that's good that you said Spain! Add Spain to the bottom of the address I forgot to say that!! Blah if they don't arrive maybe we can just start sending stuff to madrid even though it's more lame! I haven't gotten anything in my 8 weeks here yet, but I'm hoping for something!!!
Sounds like you all had a good spring break! Bummer you couldn't go to Colorado or anywhere this summer! The married couple here serving are from Colorado and I told them we went to Pagosa like every year practically before and they thought that was super cool!! Sister Buhler is so nice! We don´t see them much since we are in the lonely bubble in the middle of the island, but she and her husband drove out to our piso at 10pm to give us the best chicken salad and lemon tarts ever! Well the best I've had in Spain at least.
Oh wana hear my other hobby during free time this week! Not like we are allowed to do much during mediodia, so we have been looking at all the pisos and chalets(houses) for rent near us! Our piso is pretty nice, but I heard that if we can find something cheaper or the same, the office will let us switch locations if there is a good reason haha Sadly broken oven isn't a good enough reason, but I found a small chalet near the church with a monthly rent cheaper than our piso!! Like a house! That would be so cool! It was something like 350 euros haha I´m a dork finding entertainment looking at houses haha
Well we found this really cool guy named Augustin this week! Kind of reminds me of tata! We found him in a park near la iglesia sanjuan and talked for a longg time! He loves reading so we were like uhh bueno here's a book you can read! He said he would read the whole BoM this weekend and meet with us this Tuesday to say what he thought of it! We´ll see what happens with that! I'm excited! I really liked those conference talks too!! I was watching the your four minutes one in spanish, but I still got all that out of it too!! So hey proof that I understood!!! yay!! And ya elder lopez and I noticed the young womens necklace in the picture of the girl at the olympics!! I think Torah Bright wears one too but I don't remember. It's been like forever since I watched snowboarding! ha Hmmm what else.
I had the coolest idea for my talk in a few weeks but then I shared it with my comp and he said they shared the same story in stake conference here before I got here, but I'm still tempted to share it again!! I like it a lot, it's the one I shared in my farewell about the I found my friend thing... I´ll be sure to send you te talk after I write it up and you can have Sister Harrison translate it o something!! haha Well I think I gotta go! Hope you have a great week and good luck with your interview!!! I´m sure you´ll get the job! You're awesome! haha Love you Mom :) Really, you´re the best mom ever, we dont say that enough to you!
Love,
Nate
