Thanksgiving Picture Overload!

Ok so this week was Thanksgiving as you well know. Well, we decided to have a dinner as a district. So we tried to find turkey.... The only one we found cost like over fifty bucks... Also none of us know how to cook turkey, and we have no ovens. Ok so we talked and discussed it, and decided between two things.... All you can eat pizza hut (about eight bucks) or some sort of chicken. Well, we decided on the piza hut, and then later found out... they don´t do the "pizza attack" anymore. So we were forced to look for chicken. We planned it out well, and found thirty pieces of chicken for a pretty good deal, and we were still under budget. We found a good deal on mug rootbeer (three liters) so we got a few of those. Then we still had money, so we got some frozen fries and cooked those, and STILL had money, so we made some brownies (borrowed the oven from the church). We divided the chicken between the six of us!!! That's five pieces each. Well, it was definately awesome. We even read a Psalm before we ate, and then we all stood up and said something we are thankful for.
This is the before dinner picture.
This is after feasting.
Well, thanksgiving was great. We didn´t have pie, but I did eat so much brownies and milk that I almost barfed. Ok so last night we were planning p-day and we decided that we wanted to see the sun rise, and also make our day as long as possible. So we woke up at four thirty ish and went up to the top of the mountain to see it. We sat on some old ruins and it was pretty cool.
This is the sun rising.... I think you can see a cruise ship in the background
This is cool...
This is my favorite. That's a trompo... its a top and ALL the kids have them, so we learned to play... now we do it all the time. I have two in my pocket right now!!
Later, we went to see these racing sail boats that just got here from france... http://www.nacion.com/ln_ee/2009/noviembre/20/deportes2165792.html they were pretty cool. I guess they are like really expensive.
Also, today we had to do our tithing deposit, but the lines at the bank are allways long the 30th through the 7th so we went at about six thirty and waited for the bank to open at eight thirty... We played dominos and everyone laughed at us, but we were second in line... It was kinda like black friday....

Well, now its only 12:40 and we have already had an awesome p-day... We should still do way cool stuff today...
Ok well, I am not trunky, and we have changes on Monday........
WOW time flies!
Love ya´ll
Love, Elder Haws
