Monday
Snow's farewell and the Schoops and the Rukers welcome for Family Home Evening. I was on the food committee so was to bring apples and the cream cheese apple dip and some Rocky Road Brownies. We studied and planned all morning and didn't stop for lunch until 2:00. I decided to wait until Sister Yturaldie got home at 2:30 to bake the brownies in her oven because mine is so retarded.
So I went upstairs to put the marshmallow on and lo and behold - the brownies were slopped to one end so they were fat and not done on one end and skinny and overdone on the other end. Just can't seem to win with these ovens around here! Even covering the flat end with more marshmallows and frosting and nuts did not help much. Oh well - what can you do?! We missed Elder Hammon's Spanish class getting everything together. I am doing much better in his class though. Scott's class was at 5:00. He was teaching us about gerunds and past participles. Sister Mahon came in a little late and looked as if she was about to break into tears the entire time. I felt so badly for her and knew the way she responded to Scott's questions that she was feeling so lost with the language - because I have been there so many times myself. We were all glad when we had to leave for the missionary investigator meetings. Our Samoan missionary had fallen and scrapped his leg then got a cellulitis infection in it so he had been in the hospital for a couple of days and came to the meeting in a wheel chair. I left early to set up for the FHE downstairs.
The Snow's are such awesome people! Elder Snow had bought himself a white cowboy hat when he got here and so put it on while he talked and did some great cowboy poetry. He bought a typical hat from here to wear at home when he goes golfing. Sister Snow reminds me of Evelyn Stevens - so on top of everything, always filled with great ideas, and she has been a kindergarden teacher most of her life. The Ruckers told about themselves - they previously served a humanitarian mission in Argentina. They will be a great addition to our group. The Schoops also were introduced. They are from Curasau which is an island just off the coast of Venezuela. They are the first missionaries from the church to serve from there and they are sooooooooooooo excited.

These hats are worn by most of the street vendors to keep the sun off!
