The rain in Spain falls mainly in Argentina.

The Notre Dame v BYU football game??  Come on, you´ve got to save at least ONE fun trip for when I get home. (The list is adding up... STYX, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bill Cosby, Mitt Romney, Florida, New York, Oregon and Washington, and now Indiana?!)  Is this like a two year vacation of, ¨Quick, we have one child less in the house.  Lets go everywhere.¨?  I hope there is still some fun left in y´all when I get back...
The week has been unanimously a rainy week.  It´s rained over half of the week straight.  Monday we were treated with flash floods and rivers, springing up everywhere. (Don´t worry, I got some great, on the scene, footage.)  We also have been provided with some amazing light shows.  From what I´ve heard, Misiones has some of the most lightning strikes in the world. (Which makes the obnoxiously red dirt make sense...it´s filled with iron).  Last Monday night we had to have been within a quarter mile of a lightning strike.  It literally shook us, and the houses around us.  Oh and just to give you an idea of the humidity here... My shoes got soaked on Monday night.  By Tuesday afternoon, they had grown some type of fungus. There is definitely a fungus among us.  But I can´t complain, rain on a tin roof is extremely soothing for one that comes home rather tired everyday, wanting to sleep.
This week, we opened the eyes of Silvio (the leader of another church) a little bit.  He had a question about resurrected beings.  So.. we whipped out Matthew 27:52 to show him that people were resurrected after Christ was.  He was like, ¨This is good stuff!  I´ve read this part before but I never realized that.¨  It looks like it´s never been talked about in his church.  It truly is amazing how awesome the Book of Mormon, AND the Bible are.  Like it says in Ezequiel 37:17, ¨Júntalos.¨(Put them together)  Try it and do some cross references with the Bible and the Book of Mormon this week.
I´m excited for lunch today..  We are making onion rings and milanesa.  Mmhmm..
Love you all lots!
