P-Day was a day late this week.
(We asked if they had Halloween)
No, they don't have Halloween here, but they do have Día de Los Muertos, (day of the dead) on the 1st of November. they have this really weird dish that they eat called fiambre, I don't know what that is in English but it is like this salad with all kinds of processed meat and these really weird red vegetables, and then everyone goes to the cemetery and does..... something, I don't know what they do honestly. it's pretty cool.
(We asked if he wanted us to try to send him anything)
My companion's family got him a little voice recorder that he makes recordings on and sends them in his email. that would be pretty cool if you want more info than 2 paragraphs. I'm sorry okay?! I never learned to type fast!
We were pretty happy this week, cause a less active member we have been working with finally went to church!
I've got a pretty cool story for yall but I don't have time to write it all today, and I don't want to send only a part of it. so you'll have to wait, sorry.
(I blame Steven's cousin Denton for that. He was notorious for giving half a story, leaving us hanging because he ran out of time but promising to tell us more next week. However, by next week, there was another cool story, so we never finished the first. ;-) )
(We found this blog entry about how The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Guatemala. We also had to do a search on fiambre and an "images" search for the Kite Festival kites. WOW!! BEAUTIFUL!)
