20?!?

Well, it's been a good week. A bizarre week, but a good one, and a good week for a birthday. I still don't feel 20, let me tell you, but that's okay. I'll adjust, I guess.

Interesting things that happened this week:

1. The Denver Stake singing thing took up a lot of time, between the practices (like 2.5 hours on Tuesday and Friday), and the actual performance. So there wasn't a ton of real missionary work going on in our area, sadly. But it was a pretty neat opportunity, and I did record it, so I'll try to send it to you next week. (I forgot my camera and voice recorder at home today. Sorry.) It was a lot of fun, with a lot of pretty cool music going down.

 

2. So I mentioned once in passing to this awesome part-member family we're working with when my birthday is. So I guess they remembered. So when we showed up for our appointment with them on Friday, they had a lot of food and cake there for me. It was pretty awesome, and kind of crazy. They are just super cool.

3. We ate iguana yesterday. Yes, Iguana. Like the reptile. Really. Our Ward Mission Leader is awesome, but he's also kind of weird, plus he's native (like 100%, not mixed with Spanish people or anything), so sometimes he likes weird things. I guess he was watching some movie where someone had an iguana for a pet, and it reminded him of when he used to eat them in Mexico. So, he asked his brother who still lives there to get him some, and his brother went out, caught some wild iguana, and sent them in the normal mail to our Ward Mission Leader. So, yeah. Iguana tastes like fish, but much chewier. Yum. I have pictures, don't worry. Next week, I promise.

Aside from that, it was a pretty normal week. Lots of driving to dinner, sadly.

 

So for my last transfer, I got transferred! I'm now in the other Denver Spanish ward. And my new companion is my grandson! I trained Elder C, and Elder C trained Elder G. He seems like a good guy.

I'm excited, it should be a lot of fun. *Semi-spiritual thought* I'd been in the other stake/zone for 6 transfers in a row--I'm sure it would have been a lot easier and more comfortable to just stay there. But I'm excited that Heavenly Father trusts me with a different assignment. It'll definitely make things interesting. Hopefully it'll keep me out of the trunky mode.

I love you all! Have a great week!
