Week 22: Sushi Chilean Style

 

I am not a huge fan of sushi. I have my very specific sushi roll that I absolutely love (Sweet and Spicy for those living in Lacey--go try it for me--haha). And I have avoided sushi here for the whole time I have been here, because I don't like fish and I have trust issues. But my companion finally talked me into it. And turns out the sushi here isn't real sushi. And it is delicious. Imagine this, a perfect and beautiful sushi roll, but with the rice, cream cheese, avocado, and....CHICKEN. Tempura style, ooooooh to die for. So good. We had it two days in a row, no shame. I am still going to avoid fish like the plague, but that's that. 

This week has been crazy, lots of ups and downs, and we are gearing up for cambios this week too. Ooooh--the anticipation. 

This week I have learned a lot of patience. And I have also learned that it is incredibly dangerous to pray for patience. You want patience, you are going to get it, but probably not the way you want. I'm learning to be patient with myself too. We are all human, we are all going to mess up. I can only imagine how God feels, working with all of us, as imperfect as we are, but He is endlessly patient. Remember this week to breathe. Take a break. You are trying your best and that is all that matters. Love yourself, be kind to yourself.

Have a great week. Love you all. 

 

Con amor,

Hermana Prado is from Equador and made some fried Plantains. They are firmer and not as sweet as bananas. Sprinkle with a little salt and they are delicious.
