It has been rather warm here. A bit humid, but not as bad as it was a week or so ago. Still pretty comfortable. I worry about how bad it's gonna get, but I try not to worry. I'm supposed to be here. So I know I'll be able to handle the heat. :)

Ooh, had a pretty nice meal this sunday at a member's house. Had some chile concarne (spelling?) kinda stuff with corn and beans and meat and some onions. It was tasty. We also had rolls and juice. Afterwards, she served us some sticky rice stuff. I got the recipie from her. First you make plenty of rice. Then you mix equal parts brown sugar and coconut milk and mix well while cook until the brown sugar all melts and it gets sticky. Then start adding rice until it reaches a good consistency. It should turn out as rice with sticky tasty sauce stuff all over it. It shouldn't be runny or like pudding or anything. It was delicious. :)

I actually think that street contacting is more scary than doors. After you ring the doorbell, you're already in for it, so you just do what you can, and then walk away. With street contacting, you have to try to stop someone on the street and talk to them. And they are not very likely to stop and talk to you. And even when they do, once they hear that you are talking about religion, most of them say any one of a variety of kurt, though not overly rude phrases, all pretty much meaning no and walk away. Silly people don't know what they're missing out on. :)

Had a wonderful fireside last night (Sunday night) from one of President Pimmentel's old companions. Wonderful theme about miracles and going big and not letting opportunities pass you by. :)

Anyway, it seems that this post may be a little short, but I can't think of a whole lot else to talk about. -shrug-

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Feel free to email me if you aren't already. :)

Keep your Light and Happiness close. Never walk away from truly good and pure things. Keep your standards from slipping. And always remember to find the good. :) Talk to you next week!
