Folding Saltenas

So today we went to Sabina's stand to pick up some saltenas. She was sold out quick today, by 11am. She tried to show me how to fold them correctly here is me failing. During my lesson a man comes up to us begging for food, since there was only scraps left Sabina gave him those. She is amazing. She is going into surgery today at 7pm for a problem with her feet. It is amazing that she was out there still working even though should would be going to surgery tonight. I am glad she sold out early so she can go home and rest a little. She gave me the rest of her tortillas to practice my saltena folding. I will let you know how that goes. :)

Newsletter Time

So finally I got to send out my monthly newsletter. It was not the most exciting. Hopefully this next month is a lot more exciting. Tomorrow is the last day of the service year. Justin's 1 year of pioneering will be complete and it will be my 3rd. I can not believe how fast it all went. If anyone is interested in the newsletter email me your email. It has a little bit more info and kinda sums up our month.

On a side note:The other day I decided to change my hair color to blonde. It kinda came out blonde, but I think it is more gold-like. I really like it and it allows me to go blonde slowly. Next time maybe blonder. :)

Quick Shoe Shine

After the meeting on Sunday I finally got my dirty ole boots cleaned. It cost me a dollar and they shine like new now.

Where Did the Cold Come From?!

While Steph and I were in the U.S. the friends here said that the weather has been beautiful. We've been averaging upper 70's to 80 during the day (and this is our winter) After a day of being back in Bolivia, everyone told us the cold was coming, well they were right. The past few days, the temperature has been hitting freezing when just a few days earlier it was 80. It's supposed to only last one more day which is good since houses here don't have heat. Here's a photo that we took in service this afternoon from our neighborhood of the mountains with snow on them in the distance. The mountains look beautiful with the snow but everyone is definitely ready for the warmth again.

Finally Home!!

Had a 5 week vacation in the U.S. It was so nice and we had the chance to see many of our friends. At the end we really started missing Bolivia. We are glad to be home with our little kitty. When we arrived in Tarija not all of our luggage arrived. The airline did not send all 3 bags just 2. So my bag with all my clothing is still sitting in Santa Cruz. 3 times they said it would be on another plane, but still has not come. We really hope it does soon or I have to go clothes shopping again. Wait should I be sad or glad. LOL I hope we get it because it has a lot of spices, games, and gifts for ones in it. Hopefully tomorrow.

Since I have been home I have been on a cooking frenzy. I made my red sauce, chicken broth, beef broth, tacos, orange bundt cake, orange frosting, and whatever else I can. I missed cooking a lot. I think Justin is enjoying it. Well that is all for now. Just to wait for my clothes.

Cedar Point

Well I guess you can figure out where we went while here in Ohio. Cedar Point! It was a lot of fun and I did some roller coasters I thought I would not do. Had a blast. This past weekend we had the district convention in Cleveland Ohio. It was so amazing and encouraging. I took some photos but the ones of us came out bad. I have a very strange smile on my face.
