This month has been pretty busy, thankfully. Last week we had our celebration of Thanksgiving and then an All Volunteer Conference in the capital. I was on the sports committee for Thanksgiving so me and another girl organized a Turkey Trot, Soccer and Basketball games. And don't worry, my soccer team won-and I even helped us out by scoring a goal. Mostly I will give the win to our Columbian ringer. Without him, we didnt have a chance. We were all at a Country Club for the Thanksgiving meal and they made us Turkey, mashed potatoes, salad and then we had committees for stuffing and desserts. (Apparently stuffing is not found in this country, so we devoted a team of 4 volunteers to conseguir stuffing from the states and then make enough for 200 people)

I got back to my site on Saturday, and then Judy came to stay with me on Monday. We were planning our experiments for the Brigada VERDE conference. I dont know if its this country or it is us, but I have never had such a hard time doing simple science experiments. I really hope that they go well this weekend. Two of the kids from my community will be meeting up with me tomorrow morning, and we will all go together to our conference center in San Cristobal. There's about 18 volunteers and 50 some kids ages 12-20. This could be interesting!

I finally went horse back riding this week. Some kids brought over horses (really cabellitos) and one of them actually had a saddle, so we went riding. I was lead for a while until they trusted me to walk the horse on my own. I think I did pretty well for myself. And I even tried the riding while talking on the cell phone-I got better service on the horse than anywhere else! Haha. Kendall get ready! Now I only need to find a waterfall and we are all set for your trip:)
