There`s a food here called "tortas ahogadas". They`re sandwiches with french dip type bread and drenched in some sort of salsa. The name literally means "drowned sandwich". I dunno about the idea of soggy bread, but I`ll probably give it a try soon. Also, my area containes the richest neighborhood in all of Guadalajara, as well as some of the poorest. It`s quite a contrast. The rich people are gated off and we can`t get in, and most of the poor are extremely catholic. However, we`re trying to do the best we can. Still no baptisms lately, and no prospects at the moment, but we`re going to keep working and see what turns up.
The temple was wonderful, and I did understand everything fine in Spanish. It`s not that big of a temple, but it`s still the House of the Lord. Wednesday were interviews and we spent the entire day there because they had a lesson plan workshop as well which took forever. I learned a lot, but it did take a lot of time. That and the temple cut a day and a half out of our work week, but I think we learned some valuable things we can apply in the future. My companion completes 6 months in the mission on David`s birthday.
The warts are dying but are still here...but at least there are no other health problems. Just holes in my shoes.
If/when it is reasonable to ask such of thing, I`d like a jersey of one of my favorite soccer teams (but that`s more like a Christmas present, isn`t it? I`ll let you know anyways)
Teams i`m interested in:
US National
Real Salt Lake
Real Madrid
1860 Munich
FC Schalke 04
Well it`s time to take off for now. Happy BIrthday to David!!
Love,
Elder Lund
