I don't have any photos today. We cleaned this morning, weeded Abuelitos' little garden, and helped Abuelita make yummy enchiladas for lunch.
We found a couple scorpions in the house today! I don't think the ninas had ever seen one! Laurel found one while she was sweeping the kitchen. Then I found one on the stairs that I had just swept an hour before! We don't know how they got in, but we are all wearing our shoes inside the house now!
Guess what I got to do today--I spoke to some Jehovah Witnesses in Spanish! They came and rang the doorbell, but neither Abuelito nor Abuelita were home. I ran down and looked through the peek hole in the gate. I figured it was Abuelita's visiting teachers. I opened the door and soon realized who they were. Two very sweet women. Both their names were "Irma." We chatted for a little while about Jesus Christ. They gave me a pamphlet that they said went along with the Bible. I asked if they had heard of the Book of Mormon and offered them one (we brought several in Spanish). I'm not sure what they said, but they weren't jumping at the opportunity. But they were very nice. After they left I was wishing I'd have taken a photo of me with them! =) That's something you don't get to do everyday--chat with JW's in Espanol!

I'm loving all of these stories. I almost feel like I'm there. Please keep them coming. That was very cool to see a picture of the grandparents in the visitors center.
That's awesome! I got my fill of this on my mission in Houston but I'd welcome the opportunity again. See you guys in a couple of hours.
Your ability to speak in Spanish amazes me :) Brandon & Ben both dealt with a lot of JW's on their missions in Mexico.
