Hey!
Happy new year! You guys totally missed the party, Ecuador is nuts on New Year. There's lots and LOTS of fireworks and people starting fires and exploding things in the street. We were told that we couldn't go out in the streets after 9pm on new years eve, so we went on our roof instead and from there we saw it all go down. We were told right, new years here is "apocalíptico"
New years was pretty cool, but it was also a big pain in the butt because everyone is either spending the week in the mountains, the beach, of some other place. In other words, no one is at home and as missionaries there is no one to visit. Im going on the hope that this week will be a bit better as it seems that people are starting to come home again.
Another thing cool that happened this week (I kinda went out of my way to do this) I totally added Cow Tongue to the list of weird things I've eaten in my life/mission!
It looks about as grody as I hoped it would!
Yes, I ate it willingly- Better yet I requested it. It was prepared like roast beaf and tasted like it too. Although the texture was completely different, I liked it! As long as you told think about how its a tounge it isnt that bad. :D
Oh hey! Another thing, we discovered through a member (I promise I don't hand out on youtube) that there's a page that is interviewing RMs from all missions all over the world. They interviewed our ex Assistant to the President and he basically spilled the beans on EVERYTHING that goes on down here. You should check out all his videos, he pins it down a lot better than I have ever been able to and he speaks the truth on all his points.
Heres a link: Living as a Missionary in Ecuador
Seriously check it out!
Hmm, flipping through my photos I cant really think of anything else to write about... that's how I remember things; I take pictures of them.
I'll email you all next week!
Love ya!
