I got a new companion! Elder Hambrick is a lad. He's about my height, likes to draw, studied animation back home, and likes working hard. Should be a good time.
Our
first dinner together, I decided to make some tacos. I had bought some
habenero peppers that week and wanted to try them out. So I knew they
were pretty hot but I figured I was tough enough for one whole habenero
pepper in my tacos. Well I chop it up and throw it in like it's nothing.
Then pretty soon after I realize what I got myself into. We both start
sneezing and coughing like crazy as the habeneros cook and their deadly
vapors fill our kitchen. I'm like sneezing uncontrollably and my eyes
start to water like crazy and that's where I make the biggest mistake of
my life. I wipe my eyes with the same hands that just cut a habenero
pepper. It felt like I was never going to see again. My eyes were
burning sooo bad. So I get my contacts out as fast as I can and just
rinse my eyes for like fifteen minutes. It hurt so bad. They burned for
the next few hours and I had to use rubber gloves to put my contacts in
for the next few days. We threw that batch of tacos out and made new
ones. I learned my lesson. If you're going to cook habeneros, wear a
space suit.
We met with a
lovely couple yesterday evening in a park. They have met with
missionaries before and are starting to meet with us now. They are
actually both jazz musicians. He's a jazz pianist, she's a jazz singer.
They showed us a recording of a song they did together and I was totally
blown away. I love jazz a lot and I can be kind of a critic when it
comes to jazz, but like they are absolutely incredible. If you want to
know what I'm talking about, they're on Spotify as Regula de tri.
Anyways, we talked about receiving personal revelation with them while
having a picnic. We read from President Nelson's talk from last
conference about receiving revelation and gave them some chapters in
Ether to read. They're really open, nice people. Looking forward to
continuing to meet them.
Love you all! Have a good one.
