Hola Amigos,
No email last week because I was talking to the fam! A ton has happened in these last 2 weeks! I don´t have much time to write today so I´m just gonna talk about the major highlights. Christmas! The people here celebrate Christmas very diferent. It´s basically New years. Everyone makes Torrejas and Tomales on Christmas Eve. Some are pretty good, but most of them are really nasty if you ask me. They call Christmas Eve Noche Buena. When it gets dark the people start to go ham. The music starts bumpin and the people start dancing. Tons of fireworks too. That goes on all night long. At 12 when it´s actually Christmas there are fireworks everywhere in the sky. We have some dope neighbors. We partied with them on Christmas. At 12 things got crazy. Some bro rolled into the house with a massive trash bag filled with some stuff. Not just any stuff guys, he came over to me and my companion and started pulling out Morteros as long as my arm!! They aren´t even fireworks. They are basically huge sticks of dynamite. I had the opurtunity to light one off it was super dope! They are soo loud that it leaves your ears ringing! After a mortero blows up the whole street is filled with paper. And thats just from one, so by the end of the craziness the streets are fiiiiilllled man. Now the actual day of Christmas the people don´t do anything. They sleep because they are all hung over. I'M SERIOUS! On Christmas nobody is in the streets its like I was on The Walking Dead or something. New Years! The exact same thing as Christmas except for more fireworks! Luckily we have a super dope balcony with a nice view so we were able to see all of the fireworks from last night. One more thing... This week I ate something reaalllly creepy. We went to our usual Saturday lunch at a member's house. Usually she gives us some normal pollo with tortillas and rice. This time she gave us a soup. The soup had papas (potatoes), rice, and some odd looking meat. We ate it. The meat tasted really weird and I knew something was off. It was all soggy and slimy. After we ate we were talking for a tad. We were saying goodbye, but before we left the lady said "Wait. I need to ask you something. Do you guys know what you just ate?" We were like HA. no. She told us it was LENGUA DE VACA! Cow tongue man!!! My comp actually liked it. I said I liked it but really I had to force it down. We have a really good investigator. Basically a for sure baptism. Her name is Natally shes 9 and wants to be baptised. Her family is inactive. We talked to her parents and they said they want her to be baptised so we have a date for the 13th of January. That's all for today. Sorry I didn´t write much. I had a small amount of time to write. Have a great day! Elder Sullivan
