yo mate un pollo!!

HOLA MAMMMMA

It was so wonderful to skype with you! I loved it so much, the connection was so good that I felt like I was sitting in the kitchen right there with you.  It sounds like christmas dinner was fun at Richards place. How does his house look? Is it all finished? 

    You are never going to believe what I did!! I killed a chicken!! like I grabbed a live chicken by the head and cut his neck clean off with a kitchen knife I literally screamed at the top of my lungs the entire time and everyone was yelling HARDER HARDER and the chicken was flinging itself all over the place and pecking my hand. and then I cut the head off and its blood squirt everywhere and then it pooped all over me, while it didnt have a head!! Then we started a fire to heat up some water and stuck the chicken in for like 5 seconds and then I pulled every single one of his feathers out, It was so gross! The family Sam from my ward sells chickens so they randomly invited to come over and kill a chicken, they are the greatest family and they always help us, I love all of them! I told them that before I could not even help my mom cook dinner because I couldnt touch raw meat and they laughed their heads off. They took all the chickens we killed to scout camp and so I was running around during church slap happy telling all the young men that I killed their dinner, they didnt seem to think it was as cool as I did, but they did say it was a really good tasting chicken so theres that. I killed it in a pila which is something evey home has no matter poor or rich. It is where I wash my clothes my dishes my hands, everything! so you can see what it is in the picture I sent, except mine doesnt have chicken blood in it. 

      So this week was very different, we had some sort of activity every day so we didnt work much in our areas, although this week was super fun and I really enjoyed it, I missed my investigatores and I am excited to go back to work in Tzunua. I already told you about how Guatemalans celebrate Christmas and all the fireworks that covered the entire sky on christmas eve night at midnight that we watched from my roof and it was the greatest thing ever! and other then eating a million tamales that is pretty much all they do. The day after christmas we had a christmas party devotional thing with President and like 4 other zones. We had a talent show and ate a really nice lunch and watched a football movie, it was super fun. Then on Saturday night my zone performed our christmas program again in the middle of Retalhuleu because President asked us to, then we contacted everyone that stopped to listen and there were tons of people! It was a cool new way to get references and stuff. Then president took me and my comp home in his fancy car because we didn't finish til 9:30 and all the hermanas have to be home at 8 every night, so that was the most intimidating thing ever! but he is really nice and he bought us big macs so it was okay. 

     well I love you so much and I hope you have a super fun new years! tell the hootons I say hi! Love you to the moon and back!

Love,
