We had a pretty calm week this week, because everyone in Hospital either went to someone elses house, or a bunch of people came over to their house, and no one could really meet with us. But we did do a lot of service, so we used our time pretty well. One of the services we did this week was destroy a room that a family had built a few years ago. They decided they didnt want it to exist anymore, so they called us over and we took care of it. While we were tearing down a wall, a lizard crawled over my hand and I kind of freaked out because I thought it was a spider haha. 

     We had to go home early on New Years Eve, and were in bed at 12:00, but we heard all the fireworks and stuff, and all of the people freaking out from far away. Our New Year was pretty chill, but we had a good time cooking some food in the house.

     Today for a P day activity we went to BUIN ZOO! Haha it was pretty cool, and I took some sweet pictures, so Ill send a few of the best ones!

     I hope everyone has an awesome week!

Here is a picture of the apricot cobbler I made the other day. We have about  million apricots at home thanks to a giant apricot tree in our front yard. I already made apricot salsa, apricot jam, and apricot cobbler. So if anyone has any good recipes with apricot, feel free to hook it up.

And here is a picture of a lake/reservior thing close to a mambers house where we eat lunch on Saturdays. It was pretty gorgeous, but apparently a few years ago the water was up to where we were standing.

    Heres a picture of our house, and a picture of the "fruit tree forest" that hides our house from people on the street. There apricot trees, peach trees, apple trees, pear trees, plum trees, walnut trees, almond trees, cherry trees, and a few other bushes like blackberry and raspberry. I love this house.

Everyone said I found one of my long lost cousins  here in the Buin Zoo today. 

And heres me in front of the sign.
