Tranchula!!!!!


Well last night i ate a tranchula!! Well i ate part of a tranchula and James ate the entire thing. But it was huge! It would be like an entire meal if iwould have ate the entire thing! I would rather eat 117 crickets rather than a tranchula! But not the fish sauce... Never the fish sauce!! Well its kinda depressing that we have to leave here soon. I wish that all of my people could come here with me, there wouldnt be anything else really that i would miss. Except the food. The food is not normal here!! I dont know what it is, but something about this place has got me hooked. I love there culture. I love the people. I love the places around me. No body is rushed here. You dont go over maybe 25 to 30 miles per hour here. And nobody is flipping anyone off because they got in there way. That is just a part of life here, in all the crazy madness, people get in each others way. I love the crazy madness too! I dont know, its just amazing here! Yesteday i bought 7 movies and 1 movie converter for 12 dollars! YAY ME!! A movie converter means that i can put the movies i bought on my computer and then on my ipod! i also bought New moon! Yes, i know that its still in theatres but i have it!! Its not very good quality oh well!! Well we got alot of there projects done today. Finally. First we made bags with them. Then we made hearts and gingerbreadmen. it was quite an adventure. They dont have stuffing here so we bought 2 stuffed animals, killed them and got the stuffing out of them. But that still wasnt enough so at the end we were using material scraps to fill there hearts and gingerbreadmen. It was quite funny but we were desperate to just be done with them!! Lori is still making skirts and curtains and bags with the older girls, shes amazing! She has sewed alot while we are here. And every night very late just so that she can get it done by the time we leave! You see what i mean, if we could just have a little more time here. Maybe forever would work! On saturday i think we are giong to tuel sleng. Of great. i think its a museum of what happened here in the 70's. I dont know what it was called. it was kinda like a hitler thing. ok funny story!! Last night i went to go brush my teeth and my toothbrush wasnt there. So knowing James, i figured he did something with it. So i went and asked him what he did with my toothbrush. He said that he didnt do anything with it. And i said well it was just there an hour ago but now its gone. And he said, wait its not blue is it? And i said yes it is. Come to find out, we have been using the same toothbrush the entire time we have been here! He packed it in his bag because they are going to the farm today!!

This is Mary and Jerimiah. They are brother and sister. Jerimiah is the one who can play the drums and the guitar and the piano and sing!! hes an amazing little 12 year old! Mary is the most precious little girl EVER!! She is so precious and so sweet. They have 2 other brothers named Tree and Joseph. Tree is the one that i was playing music with on sunday.
This is worship time. This little girl worships like you have never seen anyone worship before. its incredible!
I think that Amber is going to try and put the video of me and James eating the trancula on Facebook. i dont know when she will have time so dont expect it soon. i will try to put it on my blog but i dont know if it will work.
Right now we are getting ready for the day. First we are cooking some pies for Thanksgiving. Well Lori and Amber are. Then we will take them to Sallys house. At 1:30 we have a meeting with the people we are doing Joy club with. At 3 we are going to the slums to help with the joy club. We will wash their hands and feet and clothes and i think cut some of there hair. Then we are in charge of singing two action songs with them. When we are done with that there will be a bible story and skit. At 5 we are finished. We will race to sallys and try to be ready at 5:30. We will be dirty and sweaty so we are taking different clothes to change into. And then the feast begins!!

  1. hahahaha I bet your mom will be so grossed out by the tooth brush thing! I think it's hilarious! Mason wants to know why you eat bugs now? Both boys want you to bring them back fried crickets and a tranchula. lol Can't wait to see you. Especially Logen who is still talking about Shelby still in the Bodia. Evan took three steps by himself today, two times!! It seems sad you won't be here for thanksgiving tomorrow, even though we're all so proud of what you're doing. You'll miss the Squanto story! :) Wow, I'm really not ready for you to be missing family events - you better come back for EVERYTHNG after you graduate!!!!!!! (Even our Valentine's dinner!!) Love you lots, :)
