09/15/2014 - Guinea Pig, Weddings and Baptisms!

Ok, I took lots of pictures of this week that passed so this is going to be another series of photo emails!

Here we go!

This week we got the opportunity to eat Cuy out of special Request.  the week before I mentioned that I've never eaten Cuy and that if I was given the chance I would.  The Hermanas for Amuerzo on Wednesday took that as a challenge. Cuy isn't commonly eaten here as most people think it is.  this is due to the reason that it's expensive and isn't a meat people LOVE to eat.


Cuy means Guinea pig.  Yes, it was good-  But it wasn't great.

Yes, there was a wedding this week :D ...



...The city registy center isn't the greatest place to hold a wedding but I don't think anyone cared...
...the testigos signed some paper work, and...


...We payed the the money (they are very grateful), They filled out some paper work... 

...The nice lady of the registry stood up and pronounced them husband and wife


Awe.

Their families and the people waiting in line to get their ID pictures sat in the congregation.


I Insisted that they let me take this picture.They're happy with it.

....Afterwards we went to Gissela's mom's house for cake and cola


In other news.  One of the new Misionaras in the ward had a Birthday. Some of the Hermanas in the ward (who's restaurant we eat at on Thursdays) Threw a surprise for her. This picture and the expressions on their faces shows how awesome the members here are.

...And here's a fantastic photo of me reading the Liahona during Carlos' Baptismal interview. No, no I'm not constantly tired.

...Shortly after (2 Days) followed the baptism.  :D


And to finish: Here's on of the giant grasshoppers that live here.
This one was on the wire in front of our window yesterday morning.

Love you all! Have a good week!
