Carlos
came to church! Woohoo! For the first time in almost 4 months of working with
him! We were pretty thrilled, to say the least, and he enjoyed everything. So
awesome. He's gotta talk to his boss again so he can come next week. I love Carlos!
We also didn't have divisions with
the Sister Training Leaders this change because Hna Virula has been pretty sick
with H. pylori, so we'll have to wait until next change. Stomach bugs are never
fun.
But, interesting news, I have
officially had la sopa de mondongo (cow intestine soup)! Pretty neat, huh? The flavor of the soup itself was actually
very good (we had it at Jenny's, Gabi, y Johanna's house, and Mama Reyna made
it...everything she makes is absolutely delicious, and we know that because
they feed us every time we come over, like an actual meal, crazy) and I ate all
the broth with the yuca and malanga and platano with lime juice and abundant
tortillas, as the intestine itself and the cow's feet were a little tricky to
get down. The intestine didn't really taste like anything, but it was in a 3 in
square, and very chewy, I guess, and very hard to bite through effectively, so
you have to tear it into thick fibrous strips and eat those...that was a
little hard to do, but I did eat some! So I can mark that off my list of
interesting foods to try. The feet didn't taste very good at all, you have to
suck the nerves and marrow out of the bones, so I only had a little bit of that
and was happy just eating my tortillas. But yeah, that was pretty cool, and we
were super lucky to have Mama Reyna make it, because it really did taste great.
