The rabbit massacre

Friday I walked into the kitchen to find the kids' grandma holding a skinned rabbit. She proceeded to lay it on a cutting board and hacked it up with a large knife and a vengeance I've never seen before. Bones and all. Then she cooked it and all I could think of as the aroma of hacked up, cooking rabbit filled the air was the numerous pet bunnies I have had. At lunch time I kindly declined trying the rabbit and told them I couldn't stop thinking about m pets I had. They understood and even more so when he grandma told Llani I had seen her showing it to the kids and then hacking it up. Poor bunny! Anyway, we haven't done much this weekend, we didn't leave the house until ten pm last night but that's ok. Today I have been working on making train reservations for my dad and I while periodically helping Manuel figure out how to play games online. The reservations are proving to be more tedious than I expected. I am learning though! I get homesick more when we don't do much so yesterday was trying towards late afternoon but last night I read in Philippians that I need to delight in God and not just delight but to revel in him for he is good. That's a good word. He painted a beautiful sunset last night too and I used it to teach Manuel about sunsets and that god is a painter. Tomorrow begins another week but a busy one because I will be working on reservations! I only have 3 weeks left with he family so I want to enjoy them as much as I can and try to learn more spanish as well. Language is hard! But it is a gift to be able to communicate with each other. It's funny how many of the same expressions I use that they use here. Like "throwing in the towel" who knew they used that in Spain and that it's literally the same " tiro la toalla" humanity is universal. No one on the other side of the world is really that different than me. And we are the other side of the world for many people and are not so different from them either. Alright back to reservations. Just wanted to write before the Internet goes out again!
