Gary is very happy with his Father's Day gifts. When we bought them, The two men that work there asked us if we liked the machete we bought a few weeks ago. In reply, Kathy showed them the video of gary chopping the grass. At first they seemed shocked and horrified, then! they laughed a lot, then showed gary how to properly use the machete. The way Gary was using it, would result in him cutting his leg off!
We went to a members home for lunch. A very nice person, but humble circumstances like everyone else we visit. The lunch was great, beans and rice mainly, and we arranged with her to have lunch with her each week, and, we would pay. However, it took a lot of high level Spanish to get her to understand that we never wanted tongue or liver! (Or anything else inside)
Kathy and Gary gave presentations to missionaries in Spanish without help. We hope they understood. They smiled and laughed a lot?
We have mentioned before how we read out loud the Book of Mormon and had found that the messages we read helped us get through. However, as we said before, many people told us before we came that reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish would really help us to learn the language. At first, reading was very frustrating because we could not understand anything, but, now, it is the best leaning tool we have! Not only do we get the message therein, but, it is really helping us with pronunciation and grammar.
So, we hope everyone is doing well and we miss you all very much.
Really cool- love the rake and shovel- that's neat about reading the Book of Mormon- sounds difficult though
