Broccoli with mayonaise and ketchup - that's our boy!

Hey,
     First of all, m piano lessons are rather, well, bad. I have basically forgotten all the little songs and things that I have learned in piano, and I am trying to teach the things that I have forgotten to three students who have no books, no piano (except the one in the church) and vary in age from 7 to 18. Interesting, no?
     We are keeping busy between finding people, teaching people, teaching recent converts and less active members, and visiting and strengthening members. We never really have a day off - preparation day only lasts until 7:00pm. One good thing is that it is cooling off a bit. Either that, or I`m getting used to the heat. But in April it really starts cooling down.
     Everyday except monday we eat with members. Sometimes we pick up the food and take it to the house, other days we eat with the members. Generally we eat chicken or beef with rice or mashed potatoes, or pasta with tomato sauce, but every once in a while we have asado (chilean barbecue) or lasagna. I have a new found love of lasagna. One of the wierdest things that I`ve eaten is brocoli. I like a little bit of brocoli when hidden in a soup or salad. This was a full stalk of brocoli, like a small tree. Luckily, they eat almost everything with mayonaise here, so we put mayonaise on our brocoli, and I put ketchup as well. It sounds wierd, but it was better than brocoli alone. 
     Anyway, things are going well. We are having fun. I am safe and healthy.

Love,
Elder Hjelm
