Pictures

A couple Sundays ago, a member was driving us to his house from the church for lunch. We drove past this little lake, and, still being fairly new to the area, Elder Garcia asked me what the lake was called. I said, "No sé cómo se llama. Es solamente un laguito." (I Don't know what it's called. It's just a little lake). So Elder Garcia asked the member for it's name, and he said that it was called Ël Laguito", or "The Little Lake". We started laughing because I accidentally correctly guessed the name of the lake. Naturally, we had to revisit our new favorite lake.

Then, a few days ago, we were at another member's house for lunch, and afterwards, while we were helping wash dishes, Elder Perez (one of the elders with whom we share the ward) started to marvel at the giant spider he found in the cabinet. All of us gathered around and started to take pictures of the giant spider. The member didn't seem to care very much that a bunch of missionaries were taking pictures of her cabinet spider. She seemed to think it was funny that we were as fascinated as we were. Anyway, here are some pictures.

***WARNING*** Those who have aversions to spiders and other creepy-crawlies (including, but not limited to, my mother, grandmother, and sisters) should skip these pictures. You're welcome.

Also, another member family loves the missionaries and insisted that we take a selfie with their whole family.
