1st Thanksgiving in Spain

~ So Wednesday we searched everywhere to find a pavo entero (whole turkey) and we finally found one, we saved our p-day for today and went to Cadiz and met at the stake center there with our whole zone. None of us knew how to cook a turkey, but we did it, it´s amazing how good everything turned out. I happend to bring that meat thermometer you bought me, and we set the oven at 185 degrees celsius cause we guessed that that would be good, and then three and a half hours later checked it and the temp was perfect. We made the biggest batch of mashed potatoes I´ve ever seen and a bunch of corn and brownies, and it was awesome. There were 16 missionaries and we didn´t eat half the food we made. I got to play ping pong for a lot of the day, it was a great thanksgiving, once again I´m surrounded by great people. We didn´t have sweet potatoes, that´s all we were missing, The city is cool there´s an area that is really old in the middle with cobble stone everywhere. There´s big wine houses that smell so bad. There are statues everywhere, and huge cathedrals. It´s starting to get colder. We have investigators, but only 2 really solid ones, we are looking everyday and getting the word out. The Jerez newspaper interviewed our bishop at the chapel, and we were there with them and we took pictures in front of the chapel so if they put it in the paper I´ll clip it out and send it to you. Every Friday we go to this place that collects clothes for people in Africa and South America, and they make a mountain literally, a mountain of bags. I get up in the big truck and we pack it full and it´s crazy, by the end we´re drowning in bags of clothes, it´s awesome. The members are so nice, our ward is small, but the ladys make us food and it´s awesome. My feet have some knarly blisters but I couldn´t have chosen better shoes, really it´s not the shoes it´s just how much we walk, they´re starting to turn into calluses so it´s all good. it´s different learning the accent here, they say yo me llama different ( there y´s and the ll´s make them sound like they´re from argentina it´s like an sh sound) and mucha ( ch is more like a sh sound too over here) I´m learning more and more.
