Happy Thanksgiving

hey family and friends!! this week’s been adventure filled. We went down to the valley in the back of a truck and saw amazing mountain sunrise and had amazing zone conference with pres. Torres, it’s always refreshing to go to those. the only down side was that the {hotel} had a monkey who attacked me...hehe it was pulling my hair and lifting up my skirt and just nuts. i wish this computer was faster because my comp got some funny pics. it was intense.
then this week we had this crazy activity friday night where we invited the whole town, and had a message about mormons and my comp and i taught lesson one to a LOT of people---heheh then it turned into a talent show, it was fun. then the missionaries decided we wanted to have thanksgiving dinner today so we searched for a turkey and miraculously found one in one day. usually you can only find them market days. but anyhoo, we had to do a bit of prep work first, which meant we had to kill it, clean it, THEN stuff and cook it. and don’t worry that i have never cooked turkey and neither had anyone else, so i called presidents wife to get a recipe and a kekchi woman to show us how to kill it. it was, well, an adventure. we had to tie it up and cut its throat and i had to hold the wing cause it was going nuts. then it was the blind leading the blind trying to get all the feathers off, and get all the guts out and keep it looking like the turkeys you find in the store...it was nuts. then we filled it with veggies and sewed it up and stuck it in the oven with lots of butter. and miraculously, it turned out PRITTY GUUUD. we made mashed potatoes, and a fruit salad and lots of veggies and rolls and oatmeal cookies. we didn’t have time for pie, but...oh well. it was a pretty cool thanksgiving dinner, seeing as how i LOVE this day as much as 4th of july.- so i have officially made a thanksgiving dinner for the first time. and it was delicious, even though we had to guess with a lot and didn’t have a ton of ingredients here in the mountains...
let’s see, what else....well, that kind of took up my time for writing today. i wish i could send photos but it’s just rediculous. soon billy.
oh, also, if you want to send christmas packages, they need to be here by the 15th in order to get to me by christmas. otherwise i will get them in mid january. just a heads up.
i hope you all have a great thanksgiving this week and remember all that there is to be thankful for!!
love you!
