I love Pav Bhaji

I actually cooked for the first time in a very long time. I haven't wanted to in forever because my mom is always in the kitchen making spectacular creations! Yes, it is quite heavenly always having tons of tasty leftovers in the fridge because she still cooks for 7 people every night.

In New Jersey this family I stayed with made this mushy spicy vegetable dish that you serve on french bread with..geer? I think it was...fatty butter? Well it did look a little weird, but it tastes delicious! They seriously cook with so many spices. I was following the recipe, which is on the back of a box of spices. It is like 2 tablespoons of one spice to each green pepper and then 2 tablespoons of another spice to each tomato. It makes normal steamed vegetable look so plain. I was quite surprised that it turned out good! I was missing a few spices and peas, but it was still OK! or in hindi, swadisht!

Yes, and now I can have something in common with the vegetarian Indians. This lady I study with again brought up not eating meat...oh...I feel like it is such an offense to eat meat. So I quickly changed the subject to "YEAH pow budgi is the best, mushy vegetables are awesome, in fact I am going to go make some right now!"

boring side note- savannah cats are so cute! They are a breed of Serval cat (its like a small skinny tiger african looking cat) and house cat. I really want one! And there is the adorable video of a cat named Maru on youtube who puts bags on his head and walks around.

Watching the plane tickets....

Will they go up or will they go down.... So far they have gone down... But then orbitz says this is the last ticket at this price, buy quickly... I probably should just buy it and be thankful it's not spirit air! We have changed our plans again, now we are going to Limon, Costa Rica. It sounds like they have a greater need and there will be more for us to do there. Bouquete, Panama did sound beautiful so hopefully next time we can go there. The people sound super nice in limon, too!

This has really been an awesome week in service. I love getting the perfect amount of sleep. But I feel like such an old person having to go to bed so early... I went to visit my old Bible student, aww I had forgotten how much I love this lady, hopefully in a few months, once she has had her baby, she will resume her study. She is just the warmest, nicest person ever!

Kathy is getting shipped to Korea once her passport comes in the mail, but those passports can take quite a while, except that her parents got her a stupid expedited one. I am sure it will be an awesome adventure for preaching with the English group there. It is just very sad that she has to go so sudden and forced. I am going to miss her so much and she is going to miss her....Lexus

SOOOO I am so happy, on Thursday I got this big envelope in the mail.... I got into the nurse program! YEAH. Happy, but sad because it = one year of torture. I will be happy once it is over. I am trying to go out extra extra from today-December because I have a feeling I won't want to that much with eww full time school in January.

IT"S A WHOLE NEW WORLD!

What a busy month this has been! September went so fast that I will view September and October as one month. It was so nice to see Avril, and to have a little family reunion type thing. We also got to see a special couple visit before going to gilead! AWWW! Then there was the Erin's wedding and then there was the infamous visit from Abbyrilla to finish the week up with, (not to call you a gorilla or anything it just stuck in my head). Soph and Caleb joined the Chinese congregation. I am so happy for them! I went to the meeting with them today and it was sooo nice! Such friendly people and the chinese students are very appreciative. And they seem to all love Disney!!! Absolutely blew my mind seeing the white people read from their character Bibles, yes the ones without the pinyin. WOW.

I have found some buddies to go Panama with, YAY, they want to go the exact same time I do, how perfect is that. Apparently, december is high tourist time so I had to go on strike to save for a plane ticket. Yes, that meant no unplanned visits to the mall! HAHAH I beat you mall for a whole 40 days! I had not entered the beautiful shiney place until today when Sophie and Caleb and myself were mid way home and waaalaa the MALL OF MILLENIA!!!! It was impossible to resist. ;) But anyways I am so excited to go this December! We are still planning it out a little by little and it looks like we will be in Bouquete, which was ranked number 4 top place to retire one year, thus the english speaking population there which we will be preaching to!

Oh this delightful weather just makes everything better. Yes, there is actually a fall this fall in Florida. I believe Abby brought it with her from Wisconsin. The national were fantastic. Abby warned of his attempts at screaming and yes they were pretty ridiculous. Tired and wired we ruin to easy.
Well I have a cold-most likely due to the sudden 100 to 60 degrees change in temperature- so back to super mario smash brothers on caleb's Wii. Kirby is the bomb!
