Happy New Years

New Years here was so awesome. There are always a crazy amount of fireworks and people wanting to give us food. We waited up with the elders that live near us. The fireworks one can get his hands on here are amazing and relatively cheap. The other elders ordered pizza, and their landlady also brought us over some really good food. Like last year, the sky lit up for about an hour straight at the stroke of midnight and then random rockets for about another three hours. Unfortunately I did not get to burn a mannequin this year although I did see many ready to burn mannequins in the likeness of Noriega.
 
Walking over to use Internet we saw a guy catching cockroaches in his front yard. He invited us in to eat some of them with him. Not wanting to be rude, we accompanied him onto his porch. He fried them in oil and then gave us each one to eat. They kind of tasted like freshwater shrimp. He assured us they were not "bathroom" cockroaches.
 
Love,
Elder Whiting
