Hello there,
The food here really isn´t that weird, mostly just rice, beans, tortillas (always) and chicken (usually pretty tough chicken) the only weird thing is that when they eat shrimp, they eat the whole thing, shells legs and all. But everything is really good, I have yet to find a food that I don´t like.
But hey, my testimony of fasting was strengthened this week. You might remember that before the mission I almost never fasted, and because of that, I had never seen the blessings of fasting. But a while ago my companion and I were talking about that. He told me about some of the miracles that he had in his last area because he fasted once a week, every week. We were thinking about the success we are having right now, and we are having success, but we knew it would be difficult to achieve our goal for the month because Satan has been working hard against us (like always). We have had more than a few investigators that for one reason or another, stopped investigating the church. I decided to do a personal fast so that the investigators that we have, can feel and recognize the spirit in their lives and be converted. Two days after my fast, the parents of two 15-year-old young men gave permission, for the boys to be baptized. Not only that, they promised to support them in the decision that they are taking to join the church. That was a testimony builder for me.
I know that our father in heaven really wants to bless us, but he is just waiting until we show our faith, and grow a little through personal effort.
love you guys, keep being awesome!
P.S. be ready for baptismal photos! whahoo!
