Everything the Light Touches is Ours

What a week!!! It was real long, but also short at the same time.
We spent a lot of the week figuring out this new area of ours and my goodness it's huge!!! I feel like everything is just ours.... It's awesome ;) and not nearly as stressful as it seemed before. So life is good! We got to get to know quite a few of the members who we now cover, so that was fun! One taught us how to make tacos (like legitimate Mexican ones. And they're delicious!!!) and some weird but yummy soup. Fideo soup, anyone? But yeah, she's sweet and totally hilarious! She speaks in Spanglish 80% of the time, which is great.
We got to eat with a few other members this week and holy goodness I didn't realize I miss Mexican food so much!! I NEVER thought I'd ever say that ;) but going from an area where I'm fed dinner every night by members to cooking for myself, it's got me craving that Mexican goodness.
Also like 4 times this week random members from the English wards in the area stopped us and asked if we needed a ride. What a tender mercy!!! I strongly encourage all of you to be that person for the starving/hot/sweaty/exhausted missionaries you see wandering around if you possibly can. We appreciate it SO much!!!
Saturday we had exchanges with the sister trainers and it was great! Those two are adorable and always a lot of fun to be around. I can learn lots from them :) one thing in particular I learned this time is that boba is super gross. If you don't know what it is (like I didn't) google it. It's become super huge out here and EVERYONE is obsessed. Crazies ;) it's nasty.

If you notice, we're both Hna Johnson ;) Wells forgot hers

Anyway, the work is good even when it's hard. It's a real blessing to be here in such a unique position. Being able to serve others so fully and just leave everything else behind... it's nice :) anyways, I encourage you all to find a way to serve someone else this week, even if it's something real little. I know service always brings blessings and it makes us happier too :)
