Apocalypses and Cheese

"Beware the Ides of March" 
Grant celebrates by eating a little Caesar salad

Hello Family,  How are you all this week?  The branch has an activity planned for this Saturday where all the members are going to go through their neighborhood and invite everyone to General Conference.  They seem excited to go out.  We are still working on getting more invitations and pamphlets for them to hand out.  We are also hoping to get a few good references, too.

This week, a lot of people have stopped us and asked us to go through and explain Apocalypses to them.  Everyone has moved into a little apocalyptic frenzy after the Tsunami in Japan.  This week, there was also a weird phenomenon where a halo appeared around the sun, which was visible in a few parts of Ecuador. A lot of people took this as a sign of the second coming, so I guess people wanted to know what to expect.  I guess the people do this a lot here.  It also happened after the earthquake in August and again when that 2012 movie came out, but the crazes usually only last a few days.

Elder Nuñez and his camera

Elder Núñez is going through a little crisis right now.  He accidentally erased half of his photos off of his camera, so he has been trying to figure out how he can get in contact with his old companions, members, or anyone who might have duplicate photos.  He moans every now and then, "Mis Fotos."

We have a Family Home Evening tonight with our super reference-generating abuela I told you about before.  Recently, she has been inviting us every week to pass by her house so that she can give us a brick of cheese.   We usually pass by her house about every other day anyway, but she specially sets up these cheese visits.  She knows it is against the rules to call us directly at our house so she calls our ward mission leader "to ask the elders to pass by the house for un quesito."(a little cheese)  I am not sure why she decided we needed more cheese, but we gratefully enjoy cheese sandwiches every night!

Well, hope to hear from you tomorrow at District Meeting.  Take care.

Love, Elder Ludlam
