The $800 New Broken Refrigerator
So we moved into our new home this last week and we had to buy a refrigerator because at the last house it was provided for us (which is really rare). At any rate, we purchased the fridge from a store called Megamaxi and they delivered it on Thursday. We plugged it in on Friday (you have to wait 24 hours) and it never cooled down. We called the store and they said they would send a techno on Monday. We asked, "Can't we just return this and get another?" "No" they replied "We have to send a techno to check it out first." Monday came and went, no techno. Tuesday... no techno. Wednesday the techno finally arrived and said that there was a hole in one of the tubes and all the freon was out. He said he could just solder it and fill it back up with freon, but he had to wait until the next day because he didn't have anything to fix it with. So, Matt called the store again, since it had been a week since we had bought it, and asked if we could just have the fridge replaced being that we didn't spend money to buy a broken refrigerator but a new one and they said, "Sorry no. But we'll give you a free DVD for all your trouble." These are good times.

Lunch
I'm sure everyone has given up on this blog by now. But for those who are still checking... We were invited to lunch after church this last week by a family in our church. It was all in Spanish! We didn't do too bad. We had a wonderful meal and enjoyed getting to know them. We were invited to bring the kids anytime to play and practice our Spanish.
