Chinchina, Valar Morghulis, Week 56

This Tuesday we were in a District Meeting in a practice. My comp and I were practicing teaching a lady who was being played by a new sister missionary! In the middle of the practice she closes her eyes and starts crying and we were like DANG THE SPIRIT DOING WORK! Then she faints and had to get rushed to the hospital... She´s all good now tho. 

We had a family home evening this week with a cool fam here and we made natilla and buñuelos. Its the classic Colombian Christmas food. Natilla is like fudge flavored pudding and buñuelos are fried bread things. 

We had a homeless guy knock on our door yesterday morning asking us to fill up a bottle of his with aguapanela. We told him that we didn't have any, and he was SO SURPRISED! He asked us why we hadn't made any yet, and we informed him that we are Gringos and don't drink that. BASICALLY, Colombia runs off of this drink called aguapanela. Its just sugarcane water that in hot places they drink cold and with lemon, and in cold places they drink hot and with milk. Colombians swear by this drink. You´re sick, aguapanela. You´re sad, aguapanela. You´re hungry, aguapanela. All day every day for every meal aguapanela. 

Things are good here in Chinchina, obviously the biggest story this week was the plane crash where an entire Brazilian soccer team died. Idk if that was big news in the US, but in Colombia it was huge. But then again, Valar Morghulis. 

Love you guys lots hope you have a good week!
