Semana 64 - Villa Saavedra

Hola Todos,
Another solid week. We didn't have those baptisms like we were hoping, but we have lots that are still super-close to getting wet! The big highlight of the week was Thanksgiving. We initially planned on finding a turkey to kill, cook, and eat, but that didn't happen, so we tried to settle on a duck...cancelled on us at the last minute, so we just went with the oven-cooked chicken and ham, but it turned out delicious. We also bought stuff to make deviled eggs, corn on the cob, rolls, mashed potatoes, salad, jello, pudding, and cinnamon rolls! WAAAAY delicious, and all homemade ;) What really made the night though was that we invited and had in total 11 elders in the pension at night, and all slept over and left the following morning! So it turned out way great for us! With the passing of Thanksgiving, we've started listening to Christmas music officially. It really helps to block out all the heat we've been getting here. Just the other day, it was 125 degrees outside! But luckily, we finally got this air conditioning unit hooked up that we got as an extra from another area! It's raining today as well, so things are starting to cool down for a little bit. Too bad it'll get hot again really fast.
The only bad thing that really happened this last week was that a bee stung me right underneath my left eye! We were sitting outside and a member invited us to drink some Sprite with him. Sure enough, as he poured us glasses, a ton of bees showed up--we're talking like 30ish! Yeah, definitely was killer, but I'm doing fine.
Not too much more to write for this week though, low on time. I love you all though! Hope all goes well as we enter into December this week! (gollee, time is just flying by!)
