One of the members of the bishopric at church is American. He and his wife invited all the english speakers in the ward to their place for a potluck. I brought cookies (not that you care).
This is the neighborhood they live in.
I'm used to poor-looking buildings built a hundred years ago with rat-infested walls (ok, slight exageration...)...BUT, was not expecting this. They had a beautiful home in a gated community (complete with detailed landscaping) which was way nice to visit.

This is Julian.
He was my first friend in the ward when I first showed up. Within ten seconds of walking in he invited me to sit next to him at church.
All the english speakers.
A fun and very nice group of people from all over: California, Utah, Idaho, Vegas, Hawaii, Omaha, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
Cool fact: The guy two heads to my left is a scout for the Oakland A's. He told me, "I have a friend named Craig Shipley," and I said, "Cool! I know there's an old baseball player from the Padres (surprise! yes, I actually knew that) named Craig Shipley that I grew up knowing about..." and he said, "That's who I'm talking about."
Small world?...Kinda?
