Get this.  This is a typical Christmas dessert made up of:  Jello, apples, grapes, colored marshmellows, sour cream, and peanuts.  And it was actually really good.

Making some Xela famous "chuchitos."  Basically corn with a sauce and some meat inside.  The secret is the sauce...

Learning how to make Chuchitos.

Just some of the meats that they put in the Chuchitos.  And yes, that is a turkey head.

This was last week when we were trying to find a truck to take us back to Pancà.  Well, we eventually found one!  It was just a flat-bed truck instead of a pickup!  It wasn`t the best ride in the world, but it sure makes for a good story!

     So a fire broke out this week, and that is bad news when everywhere around you is basically forest!  We were too far away to help, but a lot of the people that lived close went out and helped put it out.  Luckily, nothing bad was damaged, but all the area is black where it got burned.  So we were lucky!

The new Chapel being built and where the missionaries will eventually live.

   This morning at about 6 in the morning we got on the truck to take us to Momos, and this is the inversion that you can see!  It was freezing on the ride to Momos!  But not anything like you guys are experiencing!  HAHAHAHAHA
