Gridos!!!

One of the highlights of the week was the chance we almost had to hear a world wide training seminar from the apostles if we hadn´t lost power. We heard the first speaker and the last speaker. It was still super good. It was a fun expirence. And then my companion and I went two for two by spilling juice again; second week in a row, at the same members house. It was very embarrassing having it happen a second time. Luckily she is very nice and let us help clean it up.

Well there is this place called Grido Heladeria. Its an ice cream parlor. So we usually buy ice cream because it is super cheap and really nice place. Well, my companion wanted to buy a flavor called "Blanco Alfajor." So he asked the worker and said, "Blanco Alfajor" He said it without any problem or error in pronounciation. He was really really clear to understanjd as well.  Well the worker asked again. He said literally the same thing, " Blanco Alfajor" She still didn´t understand. So the worker then asked me what he wanted. So I responded "Blanco Alfajor," literally the same exact way he said it. But then she is like, "OOOOOHHHH that makes more sense." Well standing next to my companion was this woman. She was just looking at him while he was ordering. She then says to him, "Your spanish is really bad" BUT IN ENGLISH!!!! It was so funny!!!! This little lady was bashing on his spanish in english it was pretty funny. haha. So we haven´t bought ice cream from Gridos this week. haha It was so funny.

This week at church we had 40 people come!!!! It was awesome! And 10 of the 40 people weren´t members. It was awesome. It was great being able to lead the meeting and seeing all the people. It was great.

Anyway, I´m doing good and just enjoying the mission.
