Wagwan
family,
This week has
been pretty crazy itself.
Last Monday, Elder Jackson and I found
a bull frog just hopping around in the street, doing whatever bull frogs do. We
had some fun with it to say the least. Elder Jackson is awesome, we get
along great! He's a goof ball haha and
big ups to him for losing almost 100 pounds in the mission field.
Both Tuesday
and Wednesday were some of those days where you have a great day planned and
everything is going to be good...and then the whole day falls through. Kind of
rough but that's just how it goes sometimes. Days like those definitely keep us
humble haha.
Thursday was
the exact opposite of Tuesday and Wednesday. It was super great! We got a ton
of work done. We have started meeting with members of the ward to get to know
them better and to get the member work going here. Sister Harrison fed us some
curry chicken back which was awesome. She also asked us to help her prepare for
a Sunday School class she was going to be teaching on Sunday about the Sabbath
Day. It was cool to see her mind enlightened. We started talking about it, and
then she just connected some dots herself and then bam. She is now a Sabbath
pro.
We got pizza
on Friday for lunch. It's nice to be in a civilized community with so many
luxuries haha. No hard feelings about
Yallahs, but there's actually places to eat and real grocery stores here! So
later on Friday, Elder Jackson and I were riding down the road and as we passed
this random dude, he just yells, "UTAH JAZZ!" We had to stop our bikes and catch our breath
because we were laughing so hard. Out of all the things people have yelled at us,
that might have been the most creative one.
Anyway, we
have been playing ball each Saturday morning with the rest of the district, but
as we were leaving our house, we saw a little puppy that had been ran over by a
car, that was pretty sad. What was even worse was what Elder Jackson and I saw
later that evening - other dogs in the area had been eating some of the insides
of the puppy. The only part they wouldn't
touch is the head, so that was just like in the grass off to the side... super
gross. That's definitely up there on my top 10 most disgusting things I've ever
seen. I probably should put some parental advisory on this part haha but I guess it's too late now,
sorry.
Sunday was
average. Sister Harrison bigged us up a ton during Sunday School for helping
her with teaching. Not sure we deserved that but cool. We continued laying a
foundation for member-missionary work in Spanish Town. It's going to be really
good for us and for future missionaries who serve here, but, more importantly,
it will be good for people to hear the gospel!
We actually
got fed Sunday night by a recent convert and It was the most elegant meal I've
had here so far haha. We had like an
actual table and chairs to sit on, we had glass plates and dessert and
everything. It was crazy haha. I freaking love rice and peas though, I'm trying
to learn how to make it. Everyone here says it's not hard. Rice and peas is actually rice with kidney beans – Elder Graham
conveniently forgets the days when he used to pick the kidney beans out of any
meal that included them…
Not sure what
we're doing today, we'll probably just tag along with whatever the zone leaders
are going to do.
Miss you
guys!
Nuff love
Elder
