The
big break-through this week is that we found Gorditas for 4 pesos!!
On another day a man that was selling tacos with his wife on the side of a road shouted at us to
come over and talk to them. His sister is a recent convert and he met several
missionaries though her. They gave us a free plate of tacos and agreed to
listen to a lesson.
On
Thursday I drank some sour milk and then we had some mystery meal that made me
sick. That night we were walking to an appointment and I had to sit down
because I was feeling pretty nauseous. A bit later I threw-up a few
times. I will spare you the details. Ha - it was kind of freaking out the
natives who were walking by. While I was in that state a woman went up to my
comp to ask what was wrong and he ended getting in a great conversation with
her about why we missionaries go through what we go through. After I finished
up I felt great and wiped my face and we went and taught a very solid lesson to
the daughter of a new convert and our plumber (see below).
I
bought some batteries from a street vendor this week. Ya, they lasted about
five minutes. The man had barely recharged them and then wrapped them in
plastic.
Whenever
we leave the house here a large dog walks over to the door to greet us. The
missionaries before us fed him and named him Mozart. He is super loyal to us
now but he is also filthy dirty – so I am not that excited about him jumping up
on me.
A
recent convert in this area came over to help us fix some stuff in the house.
He is a plumber and our shower hasn't been working. I had tried cleaning the
shower head and when that didn't work, I tried untwisting the pipe to see what
was blocking the water. It was so rusted that it snapped leaving part of the
pipe inside the rivets. Our friend helped us clean it out and get it working
again. Now we need to figure out how to fix the air conditioning.
I forgot to mention last week that the
way we heat our water for showers is that we fill a bucket with water and then
put the iron inside for about 15 minutes.
If you could zoom in on this picture you would see a baseball game going on in the middle of the frame
