Curse you Texas Roadhouse

Dear Fam, 

This week was off the amazing!  First off-all our ward valentines party! whoo hooo hooo Fergie in the house! We came 30 minutes late because that's on time texas style and I thought I was walking into Bingo night at Holladay Health Care. A nice slow jazz in the background, hearing aids, couple of walkers, and we walk in with our investigator who is 20... always fun! But all the young people showed up at 9 when we were walking out! 

So we found this little pup on the side of the road named Misael. He's been here for 5 months just fresh out of Guatamala. i LOVE GUATEMALANS!  He literally is the smallest thing i've ever met. And reminds me of the kid from Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. We were just walking by and he starts just runnin like a little pup after us! he's like, 'hermanas! I am a member. i just got back from my mission in Ecuador and i have been trying to find the church but i can't and i also have work on sundays." So long story short we've been visiting him and we got him to quite his job cleaning the hotel and now he's just working at Texas Roadhouse. CAN I GET A FIST PUMP FOR TEXAS ROADHOUSE!!! whoooo! love that place... but I'm kinda starting to hate it because they are so mean to my little Misael. He can't read or speak English and they give him the tickets and tell him to cook it in 8 minutes. He told us his boss will just throw his dishes in the trash all day because he can't read what the ingredients are and he just goes in the bathroom and cries because he hates it here in america! it makes me so so sad! POOR THING! But we've really seen him change since he's coming to church. It's amazing the blessings we receive just simply by going to church. We can see life so differently.  I was telling him how much I love the bread there and sunday morning before church he calls and he's like, "Hermana, I got you some pan at my work. Come to my house to get it." we get over there and he is not like your average hispanic where they love to feed feed feed me.... Misael is very worried about his weight and I guess mine. He's our personal little trainer. Knee thrust knee thrust body body up! He's like, "Hermana, you can only have ONE only ONE piece of bread. Do you want to be able to get on the airplane to go home in August?? I would hate to see them have to roll you home in a car. ONE! Only eat one! All you gringas always just say everything is so rico rico rico and your going to get fat!" hahaaha so glad someone is watching out for me. But he literally gave us 100 rolls from texas roadhouse! We feed the whole ward house and definitely ate more than one! But Texas Roadhouse made him work for Valentines day. He was hating on us Gringos on Sunday because there were so many people in there! Dang Texas Roadhouse! 

So let me quickly tell you about Jariela and Onandy. This couple that we taught one time and they absolutely HATED the book of mormon but last night we were on exchanges and I had a strong feeling we had to go back and see them. So I take this sweet little sister who doesn't speak Spanish and I'm like if they start bible bashing, I'm so sorry, but I feel like we need to see them! She's like it's fine I won't understand anyway...

So we knock on the door and they open up quick. They were like HERMANAS WE THOUGHT YOU FORGOT ABOUT US!!!!! We have been dying to meet with you again! I had them read from the BOM and they totally accepted everything and want us to visit them everyday! GOOD NEWS IS THEY ARE ALREADY MARRIED. NO DIVORCES! But it was just such a huge miracle. God really does soften and prepare peoples hearts just in his own timing! 

Well that's a wrap! Love you all sooo darn much! TEXAS HAS GOT IT GOIN ON! 

LOVE YOU ALL AND I JUST COULD NOT LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY ANY MORE THAN I DO! HAVE THE BEST WEEK EVER! 

HERMANA WAGSTAFF
