I'm glad to hear you guys had a good thanksgiving! There's a gringa
in our branch named Elizabeth who lives in Pisac and she actually
invited us over for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. She made turkey,
pumpkin pie, the works. Unfortunately we couldn't go, we already had
appointments for Thursday.
Yesterday in church she started hassling us a bit, "You guys missed
out, I made extra just for you and it was delicious" It was pretty
funny. Afterwards a member named Roger started listening and he goes
"Hermana you made turkey? And pie? I want pie too, when can we go cook
together?" He also told me to find a brownie recipe to go along with it.
So it's very possible that we end up making our own thanksgiving dinner
one of these Mondays.
I miss decorating the tree with you
guys. Last year Elder Thompson and I bought a lot of Christmas lights
for our room, and when we took them down I ended up keeping them all.
They've been packed away in my suitcase all year but later today I'm
going to hang them up. That's gonna be fun, we've been listening to
Christmas music all week and with the lights set up it'll really help
usher in the holiday season.
So this week we
had something really scary. My comp is epileptic, but he's been taking
this preventative medication that works fairly well, so that's never
been a problem before. Last monday however, he didn't take his pills
when he should have and Tuesday
morning he had two seizures during our studies. That really scared me, I
had no idea what to do or how to help him. The thing is there isn't
really anything I can do to help him, I just need to make sure he
doesn't fall over. But it scared the crap out of me, I really hope it
doesn't happen again.
I love you Mom. Only 26 days until we
see each other! It's weird to think that next Thanksgiving I'll be home
and I'll be able to eat the turkey and go to the pie party and black Friday shopping and all that jazz. Time flies!
Dad,
Happy thanksgiving! I was reading your letter and the first
thing I thought of was "I like to eat turkey, cuz it's good. I like
turkey like a good boy should" Sounds like you guys had a good time.
It's so weird for me to think that next Thanksgiving I'll be there with
you. Time flies. Bryce wrote me and just told me how cute Elsie
is. He says that she's walking everywhere. I'm excited to see her and
Emmett. I only saw Elsie once before I left and Emmett was born the day
after so I feel like I'm missing out on a lot. They're going to be so
big though!
I was so frustrated
that day, when I couldn't speak English. Sometimes I feel like I don't
speak English or Spanish now and I just hope and pray that people
understand all the stupid things I say. Really it's sad how bad it's
gotten. The other day we met some tourists in Cusco and they were
talking about some ruins that they went to and I didn't understand
anything for a good minute or so. That's when I realized they weren't
speaking in Spanish and had to try and adjust to English again. Just
promise you don't make fun of me when I get home because it's going to
be a hard adjustment.
We're going to
try to have a baptism in the morning :)
