Ground beef

Can of corn

Carmel 

Boil small can of condensed milk constantly adding water so top is always covered and doesn't cause can to explode. Take out milk and let it cool like directions direct. Get mad because u realize that now all u have is a can of milk that's been boiled and cool but no Carmel. Think about what you can do now... Read more on Carmel online.

Take the cAn and dump it in skillet add a but load of sugar and keep mixing slowly until it starts to bubble and turn into a Carmel color. When it gets thick pour into a container and let cool down into the Carmel texture we all know and love!

Pancake mix 

mango juice 

Oil

Follow the pancake mix instructions but substitute water for the juice

Get your oil nice and hot- you know it's ready when you sprinkle a bit of water in the hit oil and it pops making you jump back ten feet! 

Start pouring batter into oil but make it half the size of a normal pancake flip it when the top of the pancake has holes leave it for about 30 sec on that side and then take it out and put it in a plate lined with paper towel to soak up excess grease. 

Miss Independent

What's today? The 18th? What was yesterday? Thursday. Ok so that means my mom is here in T- 8 days.Meaning this is officially month 3...Let me try to describe the zone I'm in... 

Everyday I feel myself growing more dependent on Jehovah. It's no longer a question of if he will help me. Even the how doesn't concern me any more. How has become more a curiosity of Jehovah's power. No, now the question is when. Because there's no doubt anymore that he will help me. Its not even my own experiences . Though they are pretty cool, it's the experiences of the friends here. There stories of how  Jehovah's helped them get here, the struggles they've gone through with Jehovah, and how he's helping them stay here. Growing up I wished I could be a strong independent woman.( Probably because of all the songs I.E Neyo's miss independent lol. ) But I realize that being a strong happy woman means giving up my independent streak and becoming dependent on Jehovah realizing that I can't do this on my own, it's stupid to try with so many people here and back home who I believe truly love me and want to help me and vice verse.  There's no shame in that. I'd take happiness over independence any day. Not to say I'm this wet noodle of a girl, anyone who knows me will attest to that that. ;) haha. 

      I'm not sure what else to say today. I mean there's so much I could say but nothing to do anything here justice. Just come down and experience it with me and the rest of my family - our family here.

       One of the coolest things is how many people who are coming back from there home countries. There all spiritual immigrants, they choose to be here. But it's like someone took the fun, funniest, quirkiest friends and put them in the Sousa congregation. It's perfect!

Here's a stolen pic of the matrimony that helped me get here...
