I worked late today and skipped dinner.

So after Wt St I walked about 100 yards and picked a T-shirt full of sweet mangoes. There are three kinds of mango here. Big sweet juicy ones that everyone likes and picks, Small round apple looking ones, and these. These are the sweetest I have ever tasted. A little fibrous at times but still lovely.

Pile on right is about 10 mangoes minus their insides.
New Years eve celebration going on bye

First Spanish comment I ever gave was:
El Proposito es lograr que entienda la diferencia entre la verdad y la falsedad, entre el bien y el mal.
Oh well got to run to breakfast. bye for Now

Good morning all.
Sorry about no posts for Thursday and Friday. I found out that when you have meetings you get back way to late to do anything but sleep.
Thursday we had for breakfast some Plantano paste filled with cheese. It was great.
Lunch was hot dogs :-)
Interesting they serve a tomato sauce with onions, tastes great.
Found out that I have a BH in Spanish. Mateo 12-15
Neat KH really loving cong. It is customary to great everyone before the meeting and everyone after the meeting. More on their KH later.
For work: We finished the outlet piping of two more rooms. The Residence has 16 rooms. Each room gets a bath, sink, microwave nook, refrigerator nook, and a closet.
When the walls are studded in then we install all boxes and install the outlet conduits. Then we move on while a second crew installs the drop hard lid cieling, we then come back and install four lighting boxes and a cieling outlet for the AC unit. We install the conduit for those boxes, then a brother and sister team installs the wire for that room.
Friday was a interesting scrambled egg souffle, with salsa and cheese. Lunch was Burger King.
Same menu as at home with addition of pollo and carne fajitas. This was because I had to go check on my luggage and still it hasn't arrived. Oh well. No problemo. Friday evening we had a gathering. It was in honor of a couple visiting from Mexico. He is basically a CO for IVs. He will be with us for three weeks. Enclosed are some pictures of the evening.
