"For Thanksgiving the hermanas made us some food, it was nice, just mashed potatoes and chicken and stuffing. I made a devil for 'devil burning day'. Its filled with fireworks and junk, so it'll be fun.

We went to Solola on friday and we almost got stuck there. While we were in a meeting 4 gang members killed a bus driver, and we didn't know, so we went to a store and were shopping when the indians started getting upset. All the people started running around us and the stores were all closing, me and Elder Clawson started to go to the zone leaders house. When we got to the top of the hill we could see what was going on. The indians, or natives, don't like criminals, so they found a taxi in the street that couldn't leave, and started rolling it to the corner where we were, and then lit it on fire in the street. Come to find out, they caught 3 of the gang members and lynched them and burnt them, then dumped their bodies in the park. They were also mad at the police because they wanted to lynch the 4th, but the police wouldn't let them. So they burned the police station, and the government building, and sent a message to the gangs, that if they come back to Solola, they will kill them all. At the same time a bus fell off the road on the back way out of town, so on one end there was a mob, and the other was blocked with no transportation, and the zone leader wanted us to go contacting because he was trying to be a hero or something. So we just walked all the way to the next pueblo and got home at about 8:00 pm. It was really fun, but I am safe, and had a blast. Con Amor....Ma Ch'u'
