Ok...Ok...I Updated!!!

Ok so i haven't updated in like forever! So i decided to update today before i started getting hate emails!! TOO LATE!!! the names i will not mention but i have gotten some disturbing emails about updating my blog so YES i am giving into the peer pressure and updating my blog!!! :)

So here comes the update...Most importantly is Mario i guess...lol...all of u have been asking me how he's doing. He is doing very very well! He went to the doctor a couple of days ago and got a checkup. The doctor had to stick some pliers up his nose and scrape the scab off...he said it hurt real bad but i think he's just a whimp...j/k j/k the doctor said that most men actually faint when they get the procedure done. So Mario did an awesome job!! Keep praying for his recovery though. He should be completely healed in about 3 weeks or so.

Well Bro. Harry made it here safe and sound. He will be visiting us here for a while which we are all very excited about. He preached last night during service at Pastor Blake's church and i think next sunday will be Pastor Jones! So we get a break from spanish preaching for a while! Spanish is going very well. I am learning a lot and understanidng it which is the good thing!

Last Saturday night we went to Carlos and Gloria's church and there was a famous rapper from costa rica there. He was really good and him and another guy rapped together for about an hour or so. Then he called all the teens down to the altar and prayed for them. There were probably at least 1200 teens at the beginning but then towards the end people started leaving. I don't think they are really in to rap music here. They like reggae and i think rock. Afterwards i went to see if he sold cd's and he did. So i bought one but we only had american dolars so they had to go figure out the exchange rate and go get change which took a really long time and was somewhat complicated. While they were doing that they had the guy come sign my cd and i talked to him for a while in spanish!!! I was sooo nervous!!! i was sweating and turning red!! lol but it was good practice.

Yesterday was really funny because Carlos called us the night before and said it was Gloria's birthday so he was going to take the whole day off of work and then we would surprise her at 3:00 at their house. So after school we went grocery shopping and got her a gift and made a cake. Then we get a call from Carlos saying that it's not even her birthday. Her birthday is next week!!! He was sooo embarrassed! It was very funny. So we went over to their house anyways so we wouldn't waste all the food and cake. They feed us soooo much when we eat at their house and you HAVE to eat it all or else it offends them. And when you're done with your first plate they pretty much force you to have more. Poor Raychel...Carlos knows she loves his gallo pinto(rice and beans) so he just keeps giving her more and more and she has to eat it!!! Mario kept telling Carlos that i wanted to have more but i was sooo full i couldn't eat another bite so i tried winking at him to not tell him that but you know how mario is. lol After about half the plate i just couldn't eat any more so while Carlos wasn't looking i put it on mario's plate. Then mario didn't want it so he told mallory to go throw it away and tell Carlos it was Landon's!! It was CRAZY! Mario and Dee always warn us not to eat before we go over to their house. So needless to say I have gained wieght while i've been here....hopefully you all will still recognize me when i get back. :)

A couple of sundays ago we went to Caleb's Taekwondo tournament thing. It was pretty neat. There were about 1,000 people there and we stayed there from 12:00 until 7pm! It took forever! But it was still fun and Caleb won his tournament against the guy he fought!

Well i really need to go study my espanol now and i really don't have anything else to say except that i miss all of you and appreciate your prayers!!!
