Well, things haven't exactly settled down since the mission tour. As President Evans would put it "we're being moved to the next level." It's amazing seeing all the attitudes of the different missionaries as "rules" get tighter, and faith becomes stronger.
Fernando is doing so well! This past week we had a stake conference with Elder Christensen of the Seventy which he attended, and then afterwards there was a Spanish lunch which Elder Christensen attended because he'd served as a mission president in Mexico before. Many Piedmont Branch memories came flooding back to me as people popped out giant bowls full of rice and mangu and other delicious things (and if I'm being honest, slightly made me tear up). I love being in a small little community like this where everyone cares about each other and can feel fellow shipped in their own language.
We had exchanges with the sisters who serve in Henrietta. For those who may not recall, Sister Larson was my Sister Training Leader back in Newark, and here we are in Rochester with the roles flipped. It was lots of fun and we talked to lots of people. Lately we've been chasing people down to be able to talk to them. And even if there are a lot of weird looks and awkward "no's" those simple "yes's" make all the difference.
I love you all lots and hope you know I'm praying for you!
