Hey,
It has been raining like crazy the past few days. The rain is nice
because it means there's no sun, but it just makes it hotter because it
gets humid. For some reason people here are really afraid of the rain,
and everyone who sees us outside in the rain says we're going to get
sick, but we've stayed healthy. We're still on bikes a lot whenever
we're in Juncos but if we go to Las Piedras or San Lorenzo or Gurabo, we
go in the car with the bikes mounted and ride the bikes when we get
there. Two days ago there was a huge rainstorm and a lot of the streets
were flooded, it was pretty crazy but we were in the car, and on our way
up into the mountains so we didn't get washed away.
Dad asked about what we eat here. We eat a lot of beans and rice.
Whenever we eat with anyone else, that's what we have. They eat a lot of
pork chops too and a lot of plantains. One of my favorite Puerto Rican
foods are tostones, they're the fried plantains and they're so good. We
buy them frozen and make them at home a lot, and we even made some from
fresh plantains the other day. When we cook at home we eat a lot of rice
and beans too, a member in Caguas told me how to make them together and
it works out pretty well. Sometimes we make rice and gandules too. I
never saw gandules before I got here but I think they're called pigeon
peas in english. I didn't like them a lot at first but I love them now.
We make tacos a lot too, with taco seasoning, it's not very Puerto Rican
but it's easy and good.
But things have been going really well. We have been working a lot
with the ward and trying to get the members excited about helping out in
the missionary work. We have been doing great and I am really excited
about how things are going.
