Last Sunday was Alan's birthday so I made chocolate chip cookies for everyone in the branch and we all sang to him in spanish and then in english, so cute!
That night the family of Brother Florentine invited us and the elders over for chicken soup and rice to celebrate. We brought tapioca pudding to share and they loved it.
Ever since we moved to Fray we have been having trouble with our washing machine. First, it wouldn't spin the clothes to get the water out and then it wouldn't even wash them. We bought a new one Wednesday and Thursday we had no water in our tank. Argh!
The elders were having trouble with their tank and the water also. Elder Cujuy got inside of it and cleaned it out.
We had 6 youth over to make chocolate chip cookies, they each took a bag home with them.
Alan and I made 28 bags of carmel popcorn, 10 batches of popcorn and 4 of carmel. We took them to all the member's houses to wish them a merry Christmas.
On one of our visits we met 4 day old Dara!
We drove 30 minutes to Chahal to deliver a bag to a member and on the way home took a picture of this festival just outside of Fray. Four of the the dancers left the dance and came over to Alan wanting money, big, white, gringo that he is. Turns out they all have little bags (like our halloween bags) and are dancing for money (and candy). The ones that came over didn't say anything, just pointed inside their bags. Alan gave them each 1 quetzal, or about 15 cents, and they were happy.
