"I Got God's Candy"

Hi everyone, this week was kinda interesting but not really. I am now in the great city of Plano, Texas! It is totally different than Carrollton, Texas. There are more homes than apartment buildings and it is hard to find Hispanics, but I will develop a nose to find time!
I am living with ward members at their house, and it is just Brother and Sister Kerry’s. They are very nice they are original from Texas (I think) but they don’t have that heavy Texan accent.
I have a new companion and her name is Hermama Richardson from UTAH! She has been out for 13 months and speaks pretty good Spanish (for sure better than mine).
On Wednesday night my companion and I got to teach the Young Women how to be missionaries! We taught them about prophets and the importance of prophets. I had the Beehives (12-14ish) and they didn’t even know what a prophet was. So it was just a miracle if they learned something. Then afterwards we got to paint pumpkins.
This past Halloween my companion and I went to the ward Trunk or Treat, and people thought being a sister was my costume. And other were like wow, it’s great to have sister in the ward again. But we weren’t in there ward because we don’t do English work only Spanish. We banked on candy, we never have to buy candy for the rest of this transfer and probably next. Well, after the trunk or treat we passed out candy at the member house we are living at. We passed out candy with pass-along cards taped to it. So then one girl was like “Mommy I got God's candy.” It was the cuties thing! Then we had some punk teenager knock on the door without customs, and I was like what are you suppose to be and one of them was like a robber. Then I’m like ok whatever.
Well, since I am new I really don’t know much about the people and there situations. But we have an investigator name Esperanza and Jo (Jose). They seem like they like the church but going to church is a different story. They have gone to church but were unable to come this past Sunday because their children were sick. (They aren’t married or dating but they are like best friends who don’t live with each other).
Honestly, I have no idea where the week went. It was hard yesterday because church starts at 2:30pm until 5:30 pm. I’m never going to forget yesterday because we went to a ward member house and guess what she made. She made her favorite dish, Meundo. Which is the grosses food ever invented! It was gross because there are some slimy parts to the dish, I felt like I was eating fish, which was still alive wiggling in my mouth. So I did whatever I could to mask the taste. I tried to put a whole bunch of cilantro, onions, lime, salt, and tortilla. But it was gross. The elders were impressed of how much we ate, because we ate more than them. My stomach was not happy afterwards. I think it was condemning me for putting so much in.
Well, everyone, my fingers are hurting from typing! So I hope that all ya’ll have a great day! I’m going to teach the elders how to play real basketball? Haha
