Merry
Christmas! Since Halloween and Thanksgiving don´t really exist here,
the Christmas decorations start going up in the end of October. We went
into the mall and they have this giant 60 foot tree up! I started
putting my Christmas decorations together and we got out all the
decorations in the office and put up the tree! whoo! haha. We could´t
wait, we are already listening to Christmas music.
The
other elders also showed us some neat spots up on the hill in our
area. The four of us went to have dinner at a member´s house and they
have this tradition that they always give the missionaries super spicy
peppers to eat and see our reactions. haha. They had these super tiny
red peppers (I don´t remember what they are called) that they wanted us
to eat, but they didn't have any at the time. So we started off with
the ´´practice round´´ and he cut a huge jalapeño into four pieces and
we each had to eat a piece. The rules were that we have to chew the
pepper for a whole minute without swallowing and then we had to wait
another minute to drink anything. I like spicy foods but eating a raw
jalapeño with all the seeds inside it was pretty strong! haha. We all
had tears running down our faces. But next week is the real challenge.
I´ll let you know how that goes. :)
Whelp!
