Save Our Hairspray!

Well, again we send our apologies for the lateness of this post. We had a bit of a late night last night, or should I say this morning. The young ones here invited us to go out last night, so we met them at this place, but it was "lame" so we all decided to go somewhere else. One sister (Lesley) suggested we go to her house and bailar a little bit, so we did. A few brothers tried to teach us to dance. (trust me friends, it wasn't pretty) Yep, we're pretty much white girls through and through. They couldn't speak any English, and they laughed at our Spanish so we had some trouble with getting to know them. Then Danny (the one we went out in service with on Wednesday) tried some more, that helped. He used Kelsey as a visual aid for teaching Josh, then used Kate so Josh could practice with a partner. Mexicans don't fly solo when it comes to dancing.

Well, at around midnight her neighbor came over and told her that it was time to turn off the music. Now, in the states that would have meant that the party was over, not here. We just went to someone else's house. We ended up staying until almost 3 which was WAY too late for us, but in our defense we had to wait for everyone else to leave so Josh could give us a ride home. (Josh is house-sitting for the brother whose house we were at) We got to bed at around 4 and slept till 11. Meeting was at 12, so we had to rush a bit, but we made it on time. Andy conducted the Watchtower study since 2 elders were out of town and the third gave the public talk. He did very well, we both agree. After meeting we got our favorite people (Irving and Andy) to go with us... or we went with them... to lunch and then to Starbucks. Yes, again! It's like we never left home. After S-Bux Andy went home, but not before demonstrating his mad musical skills as you can see below. We have to say, he beats Pierce Brosnan, but how hard is that!

After the performance, Irving came back with us and... you guessed it! Show tunes for hours! Not just show tunes though, for Kate's sake. We did a little of everything. Even country! We sang "Goodbye Earl" to Irving. (don't tell Kate it was country though, she doesn't think it is) (It's not country, it's the Dixie Chicks and they're an exception, GOSH)Anyway, here's yet another sampling of Irving's immense musical talents!

At around 8 we got hungry and decided to finally fill Kate's Outback craving. This was MUCHO fun. We dressed Irving up complete with a hat and made him all GQ. He was embarrassed and wanted everyone to think he was a tourist, so we played it up. We pretended

we had to translate for him and called him a "Gringo". In a final endeavor, we gave him a Spanish/English dictionary and had him ask for... um... "la cuenta" Kate whispers "EL QUAINTA, por favor", said Irving with such a great American accent that when Kate explained to the waitress that he spoke no Spanish, she said "lo vi" (I saw) A success! So, now we're back home, watching TV. "Pretty dang exciting" as Nacho Libre would say. Tomorrow we're going to do some informal witnessing in Centro. We'll tell you how it goes.

Until then we send our love, along with a big hug big kiss, big kiss big hug... no more of this little stuff.

Les amamos mucho,
