So Tuesday and Wednesday was us trying to figure out how to send Ashley's video. Our internet is really slow and therefore it we spend 16+ hrs trying to send this file. But it didn't even send it because apparently I used up all of my credit for the internet in one day. It's funny 'cause they told us it was unlimited. Oh well, for the time being I'm using the office's Tigo Internet Card which IS unlimited! Whoo! We were finally able to send off the vide, we had to go to the office to send it. That was one less problem though.
OH! I finally saw Tangled! In Spanish! hahaha it was a great movie, I'd definitely see it again, it was SO funny. 5 Thumbs UP!
Thursday, we went to the ZOO. It was awesome. Tigers, pumas, monkeys, llamas, toucans, turtles, monkeys, monkeys, and monkeys! It was a HOT day, but getting to see all these cool animals was a treat.
Friday, we went to Employment Seminar with all the Employment Specialists in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and Trinidad. It was long, but I feel like I learned a lot in terms of how effective we're being in getting people jobs. For lunch, we ate Sopa de Mani (1st course) and Beef with rice and chuño. Let's explain chuño a bit. It's freeze-dried potatoes that are then fermented. It was...not that bad, until they told me what it was. When you have the image of women stomping on these potatoes until they're juiced out, it kinda takes away your appetite. BUT the meal was really really good. Apparently Cochabamba has better food, and people like to eat there, a lot. I'll probably fast before our two-week trip to Cochabamba hahaha
Later at night, some kids from a dance school came and performed some folkloric dances, and that was pretty rad. It was an entire story with songs.
SATURDAY. Was walley day! Walley is like Volleyball. Except, you got walls you can hit and you can also kick the ball. Pretty Sweet, huh? My manager and his family are PROS. No lie, they've been playing for YEARS! We got divided up into groups and mine kept on winning. Until we got tired, then we'd lose. That was such a workout though. We went to the pool afterwards and got to witness our manager do the doggy paddle and bark like a dog. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. NO LIE. And to end this awesome day, we went to Los Lomitos, and Argentinian place where they had some of the best meat I had tasted. We took leftovers home since we did NOT finish everything they served us.
Finally, on Sunday, we went to our corresponding ward, Barrio Estacion. It's actually a branch, but people there were super nice. They have a couple elders there. One of them is from Cedar City, Utah, and the other is from Cuzco, Peru. So one of them is ridiculously tall and the other is short, a great pair indeed. :) Our manager's wife and son were there because it was a ward conference and the wife is in the Relief Society Stake Presidency. They offered to take us home which meant, free ride!!
We spent the rest of the Sunday home chilling til a friend came over to visit and then also left. I really should update more frequently so I'm not telling people about an entire week! hahaha
I learned something cool on Sunday, you either ADAPT to the ways of the Lord in your own way, or you can ADOPT the ways of the Lord into your own life. I'm choosing for ADOPTING.
Hasta Luego!
