Oh yeah, the cookies - my oven is gas powered without a pilot light - we light it with a lighter and you can see the actual fire, hence a not very even heat distribution. I'll work out the kinks.
I had my first D&C bash the other day. We got back in contact with someone who (maybe) had been excommunicated. He had LOTS of weird questions about worship on Sunday. We answered them all from the Bible (because Sunday worship is a primitive church thing) and he said the following - "I don't believe the Bible. It's wrong and was translated too many times. What does Joseph Smith say?" We were dumbfounded. Nobody EVER cares what Joseph Smith says. We tried to help him out, but it was nearly a lost cause.
Our Ward Mission Leader's name is Carlos Castro. He's from Uruguay, and he does work. He is very intense during our correlation meetings. We told him about the experience with Jesus (the excommunicated guy [ironic, right?]) and he told us, "Don't waste your time with that guy. All he's good for is to get information about his family and see if they're interested." And then, two days later, Jesus came to church AND he brought a new investigator for us.
So there's not very many members in this rama, which means that everyone has several callings - and the ward pianist alternates between three of the young women. (Emma and Squid, take note). Carlos' other calling is in the primary, and it's hilarious to see the change that comes over him between High Priests and the Obra Misional and hanging out with the Primary kids. He kinda reminds me of Grandpa Frazier, except for he speaks Spanish and I very rarely see his un-serious side.
Well there was going to be a lot more to this email, but I've just been kicked off. Suffice it to say that Telde's had a great week, that I'm healthy, that the potato is God's gift to missionaries, and that next chance I have I'll fill you in on the Rama BBQ because there are some pictures I uploaded related to that.
Love, Elder Stew.
