Authentic Hispanic food fiesta

I  jut have to share one of my best eats since I have been here. SIster Cordon decided to treat all teh senior missionaries to homemade tacos this week on Monday Yum Yum. We had handmade tortiallas,  and she made pico de gaillio (everyone said it was good, but I hate cilantro so I didn't eat any of it.) She also made shreadded beef and chicken flavored with her own seasonings. The flavors were amazing. She also brought a huge salad bowl filled with fresh chopped avacados. She had all the other fixin's there as well (lime,  mexicn cheese blend, sour cream, black beans, hot peppers, lettuce, oilives, I forgot what else . Some of the senior missionaries brought some salads and desserts. As it turned out, it was perfect timing because one of our office sisters  , Sister G, was leaving the next day to return home to Saint George. So it was kind of an impromptu good bye party for her.
Admittedly I ate 3 tacos, they were so flavorful. Frankly I don't eat much. I just don't get that hungry being in the  library every day. AS it turned out later , that was a good thing I did because my next meals didn't happen until 11:30 that night!

She was hand warming them. I noticed that brother Cordon was really enjoying the food, in fact he ate more than two platefuls of his wife's cooking.


 Below is the traditional mission watermelon, cut up a speacial way by Elder M. I don't know why but it always tastes sweeter. either that or he just picks good ones at costco. He calls them water melon spears.





Well it was probably one of the top 2 meals I have had since I have been here.  We have had two very lovely senior potlucks. I am in charge of the one for this month along with another single Sister and couple.
Not counting the few different  ethnic restuarants I have been to.

My first convert baptism Estreniah Radcliff from Canada

I met Estreniah in the library a few months ago. We got talking, about life. I was helping her with the family search for a bit. She is nanny here, and it was her night off.  She had majored in Sociology and me in psych. We both love kids and had a lot to talk about. She sent part of her later life in foster care. So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...

Nice laundry facility A couple from my district. Her husband was a total crack up. They are serving in South America. what a great sense of humor and quick wit. The couple on the right were newlyweds. Their spouses both passed away within a year of each other. They met at the St George temple and became friends and then 6 month later ended up getting married. Then a year later they decided to go on a mission and  have been called to serve in Somoa. They were darling. Wished I was going with them. This couple was our "ohers" that we practiced teaching on/ They are serving in Africa and were wonderful. He taught at the Unversity in Logan for years. They are awesome.. I Miss them. this was our fabulous teacher on the left Sister Farnsworth. She would make a great daughter in law hitn hint.
