What is Cui You Ask? Cuneca Week Ninety Eight

So first off Happy Late Birthday to my brother Brady. It happened to slip my mind this last week but still shout out to him. Also Happy Fathers Day to my Dad.my example and mentor in all things. 

Fathers Day

So this week we celebrated Fathers Day. The party was thrown in our mamitas house. I am currently a Father so the party was actually like a little joke on me. But I am not gonna lie it was a delicious joke. We made Cui (Guinea Pig). This time I didnt get to kill it or do anything like that but I did get to cook it, dressed like a Cuencano. I want say much more but I know that you will enjoy the pictures. It was a way good time and we enjoyed the food even more. I will be preparing it for my family when I return so those that want to try it you are welcome to come to my house to try it. It is sooooo good.

Training Update

So things are going really good as we embark on week 4 of the 12 weeks of training. My son is learning a lot and we are having a good time working. We worked our tails of this week and I could tell at times my companion wanted just to take a break but we kept going. It has been a great privledge to end the mission training. Sometimes I think that it hasnt gone the way I have hoped but I have learned a ton in these last couple weeks and I know this is the Lords plan.

Wonderful family!

Time

I am not clueless about the fact that my time is running out here in the mission. These 2 years have changed my life and I am forever grateful for these moments that I have had. I will keep working til the last moment of the last day. Thanks for all the support and love that you have given me while I have been here in the mission. I really appreaciate it.
