Another Beautiful Week in Rose Park

The weather has been SO beautiful this week.  Every day it's been between 50 and 60 degrees!  I've just been wearing a cardigan sweater and it's been great!!!  I'm hoping that it won't snow anymore.  Some people say that they think it's going to stay like this and some say that we should have at least one more day of snow.  I guess the snow would be good for the mountains so that there will be water in the summer....I guess ;)
 
Not much exciting has happened here.  Everyday we've been making arrangements for the wedding on Saturday.  The hard thing is that this is the job of the ward and nobody is helping us so we're doing it all...so we haven't had as much time to really work and find new people to teach.  bummer but that's ok, it's all going to be worth it on Saturday! 
 
Ok so I had my first good dinner/food story experience on Friday night.  (it's more funny than gross...actually it's not gross at all)  SO, we went to this member's home that we've never met before, Hna Rodriguez.  She made Chile rellenos for us which is Hna Hernandez's favorite food of all time so she was stoked.  I on the other hand am not a huge fan because there's usually about a pound of cheese inside each one and it gives me a stomach ache every time.  She gave us each a bowl with 2 huge chiles that had been covered in more cheese and deep fried.  And they were in some kind of broth/soup.  The cheese that was inside was a little spicy, but not bad.  So I was slowly eating my chiles and getting fuller and fuller by the second and Hna Rodriguez kept making more and more and more tortillas....I was already so full.....  And THEN she brought me another bowl of soup with a big huge piece of chicken and about 7 servings of vegetables.  She told me "I made this especially for you incase the chile rellenos were too spicy for you"  So I couldn't not eat it.  She also made a special salsa for me to put in it which was little green chiles, onion, and lime juice.  So I put a little bit in my soup and started eating.  Oh man...I thought I was going to explode.  As I was eating my soup, on eof the little green chiles hopped up on my spoon and i thought, oh this little thing won't do anything to me.  Then about 2 seconds later my entire mouth was on FIRE!!!!!  Then the fire slowly moved it's way down my throat!  I thought I was going to die right there at the dinner table.  Seriously, I've never eaten anything that spicy in my entire life.  And to prove just how spicy it really was,  Hna Hernandez ate one too and her eyes started to water, she later told me that it was one of the spiciest things she had ever eaten....oh man! Seriously I don't think my tongue has recovered yet! jajaja
 
     I spoke in church on Sunday.  It went pretty well.  I didn't have as much time as I thought I would so I had to cut it short.  And what surprised me the most was that I wasn't even nervous at all. 
 
Sorry I don't have that much to write about this week.  It hasn't been too exciting  and I still have to write my letter to President Sonne and I only have 12 minutes left on my computer time.  I love you all so so so so much! Make sure that you all help the missionaries that are serving in you ward or stake or area...they need you!!!!!! 
 
Con muchisimo amor!!!!
