This was a good week. We were told on Tuesday that because of the elections this week, we had to leave the house at 9 instead of 11 and go to the house at 7:30 instead of 9:30. So we have this schedule till the 14th. The house is clean though. Which is good, because we have house inspections this Wednesday.
This Wednesday was Dia de los muertos or Day of the Dead. Its when the people go out to remember their dead. It was pretty cool to see tons of people flocking to the cemeteries to put flowers and other things. Definitely different than in The US of A.
On Thursday I went with Elder Marquez to Crtisto Rey. This town is has only dirt roads and so the water runs free. And boy did it rain on Thursday! We had a torrential downpour! I should have taken a picture. You literally could not see the dirt. It was straight rivers in the streets. My shoes, socks, and pants were soaked! It was fun though. It was warm afterwords which is good.
I have a new favorite Nicaraguan food. Which is Guallo Pinto. Literally just red beans and rice cooked together, but it is the bomb.com! I have had it 4 times this week, and I am having it tonight, but with coconuts that we salvaged last night.
Also, we went early Christmas and wore Christmas ties and hung lights in the house on Wednesday!
Stay frosty!
