Oh Mundungo (1-13-14)

Boa Tarde Minha Familia e Meus Amigos!

This week was a crazy one.  First off we had 3 lessons with our investigator Porfirio and with Minor's mom Irma.  They were all really good lessons, even though Porfirio and Irma are being annoying.  We don't know if they are hooking up or not, but Irma gave Porfirio  a pet name and calls him Porfi.  BARF!!!  And they will just start talking to each other about whatever we are teaching and go off on a tangent for like 4 minutes.  AND SHE IS ONLY ON VACATION HERE FROM HONDURAS!!!!  She leaves around the same time I do, but she has been a real help for getting us in the door, because she loves us.  She loves us so much that she decided, with the help of Elder Drollinger, to make us mundungo.  Which is a soup, with corn on the cob, potatoes, bananas, yucca roots, and cow stomach.  COW STOMACH!!!!!  And this has been a good 2 weeks in the making.  Elder Drollinger was all like aw yea it will be cool.  And then the whole time he was all like, "I'm so sorry Elder."  It was a struggle.  I have never eaten anything that slimy before.  The struggle is real.  And she didn't believe me when I said it was good, which the soup itself is not that bad, just the stomach, and she thinks that Elder Drollinger loves the stuff.  Haha.  Good times here in North Metairie.

We also were finally able to see Adolfo who we have been trying to see for the whole 11 weeks I have been here.  We taught the restoration and I offered him help with math because he struggles with that and is trying to get his GED.  So he had better accept my offer this week or he won't get help haha.

And we also found some new investigators, Omar and his wife.  They are from Mexico and they are super legit!  They have 4 boys and their house is crazy!  In the middle of the lesson their youngest, age 3ish, spilled an entire cup of Sunny D all over Omar, and he was so chill as he carried his crying kid to his room, of which the kid never came back out haha.  HE LAYS DOWN THE LAW!!

Well that is about it for this week.  Amazingly I am not trunky yet.  My quad actually brought that up in comp inventory how that is a strength and how they are trunky for me haha.  But I did get my hands on some guanana.  IT IS GLORIOUS!!!  Brasil here I come...in a week!!!!!!

Entao, eu amo voces e fique classy!!
