as i was looking through the aforementioned gmail inbox messages, i also found this -
kyle and i went to visit his mission area (Guatemala North Mission) back in January of 2005. his parents were awesome and came on the 10-day trip with us. we spent a few hours visiting with this family that kyle knew when he was there. the patriarch was lovin' on gary and wouldn't take no for an answer when he poured a shot of whiskey. the whole family (theirs and ours) was doubled over laughing at Gary trying to politely refuse to drink it.
at this same house, the mom was dying over my green, crocheted poncho (don't laugh, ponchos were like, totally huge at that point). she point-blank asked me if she could have mine. ummmm, how could i refuse? i handed it to her and before she put it on, she asked if it was made in the USA. i thought about pointing out that it was actually made in China - but didn't want to burst her bubble.
Awwww, good times.
