Last Monday--after we were done in the museums, Hna. Christensen wanted to get a sweater, so I sat down on the bench and ate my crackers while I waited for her. When I first sat down, there weren't any birds around, but then when I pulled out the crackers, I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked, and from behind the trashcan, a little sparrow hopped out, then another, and another, and then a starling landed on top of the trashcan. I just laughed and went back to eating my crackers. Then I heard a noise and the starling flew right in front of my, trying to get me to drop the crackers! Or steal them, one of the two. But I didn't, and I still had them. By then, Hna. Christensen was ready to go, so I said, "Sorry, guys, maybe next time" to the birds, but then I felt bad. It's hard to know whether to give birds people food, you know?
We ate tacos on Tuesday at a member's home with President Riggs. It was so fun! It was us, the other Hermanas in the ward, and the elders in the ward, plus the member's family and a few of her friends, so all together, there were...17 of us. Her little daughter sat on one side of President, and I sat on the other side, and at one point, he turns to me and says, in the sweetest manner, "I just love little girls." I told him that's ok, and then he says, "They just wrap me around their little finger." He was so sweet to her though! so kind and loving. I loved it. And so did the member. She kept telling him, "I never thought you would come! I'm so happy you're here! Eat all you want, there's more!" He ate 10 tacos, and so did one of her sons, and I think I might have too. We all ate at least 5 tacos each. There was definitely enough to go around and then double more. It was great, though. It was fun. And then dessert was a tres-leches cake (Which I did not eat. I had fruit instead. :))
We helped another member with her missionary work yesterday. She had talked with a man from Iran and they had talked about how Islams and Mormons are very similar in being true to their covenants and other things of the like. She then offered to get him a copy of the Book of Mormon, and he said sure. So she told us that story and said could she get a copy of the Book of Mormon in English? We said sure, and probably one in his own language, too. She said no, he spoke Urdu or something like that. Well, we went to the mission office and sure enough! There was a Book of Mormon in Urdu! It looks really cool. We got that to her and she says she'll give it to him today. We're excited.
We also had Spanish forum on Tuesday. It was great to see Hna. Moleli again.
