Guinea Pig for Lunch...

EATING CUY (Guinea Pig) - a favorite dish of the lady who made it for him. He doesn't write about it here but you can listen to him tell his story HERE!  (If you listen, we were just late getting our letters written. He did get them!)

And I found someone's humorous post about their experience on the internet-How to Eat Guinea Pig in Colombia.

Hey everyone! Everything sounds and looks really fun! 
This week transfers came in and Elder Cortes is going to Cali while I'm
staying here and getting a new companion! He's from Colombia and is going
to be the new district leader. I'm sad to see Elder Cortes go but it'll be
for the best to have a change. Like that Ben Folds song called Still. Great
song...

This week we had divisions with the zone leaders and I was in my area with
Elder Donoso. We taught some SUPER stellar lessons and were very direct. We
went to the house of a recent convert but couldn't go into the house
because there wasn't a man in there. So Hana (the recent convert) called
one of her friends to come over so we could come in. While he was on the
way,we were asking Hana about him and she said that there might be some
problems because "he hates American people". So I was practically sweating
bullets and when I told him where I was from he gave Hana a look like, "Why
didn't you tell me?!" Well he's practically an atheist too, so we had a
 very very tension filled discussion but we ended with feeling the Spirit
super strong and bearing our testimonies to him. He said he would read the
intro to the Book of Mormon and so we have hope for him. :)

We also have been working with the nonmember husband (boyfriend, not,
married) of a less active member. Before, he would never listen to us and
would leave if he knew we were coming because he knows we can't enter
without man. But lately, he's changed! He now lets us in, listens to us,
and now we are working towards getting them married so they can go to the
temple and be sealed. I think the temple is what got him interested. But we
used the Mormon Message about living bellow our privileges (with President
Uchtdorf). We said that they were living bellow their promised
blessings and so that got them excited for marriage! Man I love the Spirit!

The Mission office hasn't paid our light or water bill for the past two
times we've had bills. SO the electric company cut our power and we've been
planning with candles and flashlights during the night. The worst part is
that our hot water is made with electricity. So we have been showering in the
ice cold mountain water haha. And our heater is electric so we haven't been
able to use that either. That wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't the coldest
week in the history of the universe! ;) But we had a member fix us up with
SOME light. Now we have the lights in the kitchen and hot water in one
bathroom. So we hope the office takes care of it.

Elder Cortes is being transferred to Cali and I'm getting a new companion.
He's Colombian and he'll be here Wednesday night.

Love you guys! You're all in my prayers!!!
Love
Elder Skinner

If you listen to his audio file you can tell he's a little traumatized by the fact that he ate this! Haha!! But I think he'd be traumatized if he met the chickens or cows he eats before eating them too.

Future Vegetarian?

Yum?
