Storms, Service, puppys and parties.

Ok were to begin. Cuiquita, our little puppy was doing so good, she was full of energy, putting on weight and starting to act like a normal puppy. We woke up one day and saw that she was not up and about as usuall. In fact she slept all day and didn't eat or drink. So the next day we took her to the vet to see if there was anything that we could do for her. It was pretty expensive he said but either way if we decided to keep her or not he would treat her. She was poisoned, he said by rat pee. Kind of like the whole lysteriousus {however it is spelled} thing that happened at the maple leaf food plant. Anyway a day and a half later I went to check on her at the vet and she died that morning, she was too weak for the treatment to take. So that was a pretty sad day. And then to make a long story short we also got robbed that day. It really sucked cause well getting robbed sucks! I'm still a little bitter so maybe i'll tell you the story one day when we get back.
Oh yeah we had a few days in service that were pretty cool. The people here are so incredibly friendly. One day about 20 of us piled into the back of a brothers truck and did some territory just outside of town. It was awesome riding in the back of a truck on the way out in service. Then when we get to the territory we get out and pretty much everybody sees you coming so they get out the chairs and invite you in to talk, very very different from back home! You can pretty much stay at one call for as long as you want, but there are so many people that want to talk you have to be a little bit quick. Service here is definitely an experience going through the barrios that the tourists don't get to see and talking to people that really want to listen to you. I have been walking down the street with a bag of magazines and anyone that you ask if they want something to read they will take them. very cool.
Other than that the weather lately has been a bit nasty, there is a hurricane in Cuba right now and we are just catching the edge of it so lots of wind and rain. So other than that there was a going away party at ben n nikeas and our place and there was about 100 people that came. There were people from here haiti, california, spain, france, and japan. There were alot of new people to meet and it was cool trying to talk to so many people that didn't speak your language. But I can't think of anymore right now, hopfully I'll write something sooner next time so that I won't forget anything. So until next time chiao!
