Well,things are still about the same. On Saturday we helped some of the members to set up a Quinsenera party. Here when Spanish girls turn 15 they have a big Quinsenera party. It pretty much looks like a wedding, and costs about as much too. We helped set up chairs and stayed for part of it. The 15 year old girl dances in the middle first with her dad then later with anyone else who wants to. Elder Crump said that he really wanted to dance. But I thought the spanish music didn't really make me want to dance. Spanish songs make no sense at all. One is "la vaca, la vaca, la misma vaca". Which means "The cow, the cow, the same cow".
Another is "La mesa, la mesa". "The table, the table".
So I like English music more.
In our stake there is a big push from the First Presidency to stop Proposition 8. Its a proposition that says "Deny the Gays their rights", and in it is says it's not fair they can't get married. They've asked the members to go out and educate people on it and vote to protect marriage. It's starting in California but could affect a lot of other states too. So we have been reading Proclamation to the Family with a lot of members, to get them excited about helping out. So that's what's been going on in the ward.
Gotta Go,
The Elder James Meiners
