Hello!!!
Modesto is great! There is a lot of service projects to do here. We spent all day Tuesday biking around and trying to find a house for a prospective elder. We were riding through rows and rows of suburban houses until we got close to the address... When we finally arrived to where the house should have been, it was just an empty lot! Just a field of dirt between two beautiful houses. We double checked and triple checked and that was definitely the address. So just out of spite we walked around on the empty lot, looking for some trace of a home but there was absolutely nothing. It probably freaked the neighbors out to see two missionaries just walking around on an empty lot.
Later that day we found a lady who was organizing Mary Kay stuff in her garage. We started talking to her for a little bit and ended up teaching her the Restoration. It turns out she was taught by missionaries a long time ago but they stopped coming by. She was really cool and invited us to come by again when her whole family would be home.
Not too much else happened this week. We went to the hospital three times to give blessings to sick members. The ward is doing pretty good. I have to translate every week during sacrament meeting by speaking into a microphone while some of the members that don't speak Spanish listen to the translation, it’s helping my language.
Early in the week, I made some spaghetti for my companion and myself, but after I started boiling the noodles, I realized that we didn't have any spaghetti sauce. The only sort of red sauce that we had was chorizo, which is a highly seasoned Mexican sausage. So we put the chorizo in a frying pan with a bunch of oil and some water and let that cook until the noodles were ready. One of us offered a pretty sincere prayer, asking that we would receive nutrition from our food, looked at each other, and took a hesitant, small bite. The Mexican spaghetti was amazing! I'm not sure what I did but it turned out very well.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas! ¡Les quiero todos!
