Buenos Dias Everyone! This week was fantastic!! I can't wait to tell you all about it. So here it goes, My Top 5 from this week:) 

1. FARMER TALK: So this week i learned how to talk like an Iowan Farmer. Like this: " Yeah, well the corn harvest is almost done but were waiting on a bit more moisture for the soy beans because we don't want them to turn to powder in the combine. That puts a dock on the harvest and its better to wait a little longer that usual and get the most out of your harvest that to risk ruining your crop in the combine." #Iowan

2. TACOS DE WHAT??: Guys i tried a new food. Tacos de Lengua. For all you white people that is cow tongue. It was shredded but it stuck together and it had lots of little taste bud bumps and things on it. It was very dark brown. It was nasty!!! Nope. Never again. I prefer the other parts of the cow. I wont be eating that again any time soon. 

3. INVESTIGATOR UPDATE: We still have no investigators to teach and we are spending all of our time knocking on doors and talking to everyone we can. Lemme tell you i will never again be nervous about talking to random people ever again. Its so fun knocking all the time because you meet so many different people and get to know them and its just a super cool experience. 

4. PRIMARY PROGRAM: Yesterday was the Primary Program and it was so cute! I love hearing the little kids sing. We have a really small Primary but they sure are loud! Its the cutest thing! They sang one song called Gethsemane and its not an official primary song but its all about the love of Christ and how he atoned for us because of that love. Its the most beautiful song and i just get chills every time i hear it. Basically, the Primary Program is the best!

5. NAUVOO: So the Castillo family took us to Nauvoo on Saturday and we walked around and rode in a carriage and did all that fun stuff and it was freezing cold but super cool. Then we went and did a session at the temple and guess what? it was a Spanish session. Thats right, we did a temple session completely in spanish! I understood everything and was super happy about that! Super neat experience! Then we watched the   Halloween parade there and ate Walking Tacos and it was super duper delicious and basically the bestest day ever!!

Thats my week:) As always I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!!! Until next time...xoxoxoxoxo Hermana Rice
