happy turkey day! my comp asked me what we do on thanksgiving. (people in general, not us--cause we do everything differently). i wasn't really sure what to say...eat, watch football, and sleep? either way i hope you all have a great time at the party and that you eat lots of pumpkin pie in my name.
we had a somewhat eventful week. actually now that i look back it was kind of a week of dumb kelli jean moments. for example when i thought it would be a good idea to try waxing my legs so that i wouldn't have to shave so often. that lasted for one little section of my thigh....
i had been craving pie de limon for like 2 weeks and finally we had time after lunch to go buy one. i was walking and eating my pie and the wind kept blowing up my skirt. so i put the pie de limon on top of my bag to try and keep my skirt down. as i did the pie fell on the ground and a dog came up and ate it.
on friday we were knocking doors on a street i'd never been down and we came to a dead end. we needed to get back to the apartment soon and we saw this little park with a barbed wire fence that was broken in one spot, so i suggested it would be faster to cut through there. as we crossed the park i saw a big builing with lots of military people. i thought, this could be the military base in our sector. we kept walking and saw the exit with a soldier and his machine gun guarding it so we decided to walk to the other entrance. we got to the entrance where there were 3 soldiers and their machine guns. ha.
we also met this guy knocking doors. actually it was kind of embarassing cause we walked up to the house and i yelled "¡alo!" and then saw the guy sitting there on the porch. we started talking to him and he started telling us how bad his life was and all he had to suffer. so we started pointing out the good things he had, his house, a family, health, etc.. "i don't have family. all my kids are grown and i just live here with my wife. i had to work like a dog for 50 years to earn this house. i never got to rest." we were kind of desperate so i said, "look at that bee that gives us honey." his reply, "that isn't even a honey bee. plus it will sting you." apparently he was not present for my optomistico talk.
welp, i have changes. it is really sad that i am leaving the coast. i don't really want to. but the Lord knows better than me what i need. i love you all. have a fabulous week.
love,
kelli jean, hruss.
peace+love
