and this!
(the picture is turned wrong) AND THIS!
Wow-are we ever going to have a healthy meal tonight! The only problem is, half the family only likes raw broccoli and the other half likes only cooked broccoli.......(and how shall I split up the 10 peas between each family member?)AND..
The UPS man has been very nice to me today. He brought me my glue dots:
He also brought me something else very cool which I will post about tomorrow.......AND... (sorry for the length of this post)
Another bit of HUGE excitement for me was a phone call today:
Me: Hello.
Person: Habla espanol?
(I think 0h-oh-these calls make me nervous-I have to try really hard to listen and think now)
Me: Poquito....(a little) Quien habla? (who is speaking)
Person: Soy Juan Carlos. (I'm Juan Carlos)
Me: Juan Carlos de Peru? (we know someone named Juan Carlos in Peru-I think anybody that knows anybody hispanic knows someone named Juan Carlos)
Juan: No, de Nashville Tennesse...
Me: (I am screaming in delight, trying to put together a coherent sentence in Spanish, knowing this is someone who my son baptized!)
Turns out this Juan Carlos thinks Elder Steve is un hijo bueno, etc. etc. I had a lovely chat with him today. He is calling back tonight to speak to mi esposo (TL) who has a MUCH better command of the language than I do.

You crack me up! I'm glad you have your year supply of glue dots! You should put a countdown clock on your blog for the return of Elder Larsen. I know my mom and dad loved talking to families that my brother baptised....fun, fun, fun!
Hey, one more thing.....I don't know if I mentioned this but one of my friends has a brother on a mission. She set up this blog so that her brother could keep all the family and friends caught up. I think its cool.....maybe Elder Steve would like this??? Take a look at the blog-----www.elderthompson.blogspot.com
Wow mom! The kids will be beggin for broccoli the next time we come over! BTW, I LOVE the pic of the peas...very artistic & they almost look yummy! (just kiddin, I think that FRESH peas probably actually are yummy)
