Why you should own a microwave grill thing

Because they make totally delicious turkeys in 50 minutes. Aaron was quite skeptical, but when that bird came out of the microwave, he was a believer. It was juicy inside and crisp skin. The pumpkin pie turned out good, although not quite pumpkiny. The Roseros helped us eat all of this yummy stuff. Anyway, here are a few shots of our thankgsiving preparations.

There are some more on our photo site if you wanted to look at them.

In other news I am starting to do a toddler class at the baby orphanage three times a week starting on Monday. And I will probably start it at OSSO soon too. So, I’m staying pretty busy. Aaron has been working hard on his website and business stuff. We are managing to stay healthy, but have gained a few pounds from turkey day. That’s about all I can think of right now.

I´m just frusterated

Last time I was at the Wolff house Alex who is three in response to the insinuation that he had knocked over the train set replied “I´m not a bad boy, just frusterated” I know the feeling. We went to see our house yesterday to see if it would really be ready this weekend and…. They told us another week. Something about the workers not showing up and taking a ton of time etc etc. We went with the landlord to ask the workers who were working on the house adjacent when they thought it would be ready. They said a week (again) and I told them if they got it done really quick I would bring them ice cream and cokes and whatever they wanted. They smiled but I doubt that will really get the job done.

Then comes the next problem. The hotel where we are staying is throwing us out on Wednesday because it is the fiestas of Cuenca and ALL the hotels are booked. And since we likely won´t have a house ready to move into, we suddenly realized we are about to be homeless. After tracking around to a million hotels and calling a million more we found a few spots, but have decided probably we will just get on a bus to somewhere a little out of town and stay at a cheaper not full hotel instead. A little adventure is good when you are homeless and without much of a choice.

Life is still good, we remain without any life threatening illness or even anything keeping us in the house all day. We are enjoying spending time with the Roseros, Sammy and Ismael tell everyone their sister is here, and at church on Sunday when a little girl in the ward was playing with Aaron Ishy said “If Kelsey and Aaron had a girl like that we would be uncle and aunt!”

Ok, more later. Chao.

Spanish Keyboards

My least favorite thing about Ecuador is the Spanish keyboards in internet cafes because you can never find the at symbol.

In better news we made it here alive and safe with all of our massive luggage. We actually didn´t get to the highest weight limit, I was kind of disappointed with my packing skills. But we are here, made it to Quito last night and Cuenca today. We have already been to see a couple apartments, figured out requirements to open a bank account, and hung out with the Roseros.

Sammy (Rosero) didn´t get home from school until 5, so when she got there we hid upstairs and Lorena called her to come up. She came up and hugged Lorena and I snuck out and she screamed and we hugged for a long time. It was great. I forgot to mention Lorena, Rodrigo & Ismael were waiting for us at the airport. Man I love them.

Anyway, this internet is being bad, so I will sign out. Tomorrow we will surprise Sor Teresa, open a bank account, and hopefully look at more places to live. I can´t wait until we have interent to use my own blessed keyboard. Chao.
