"Cheese Grater to the Face"

This week was very calm. Nothing really special or exciting this week in terms of crazy things happening to us or even the people we teach. It is Elder Combs' second to last week this week. This transfer is deemed the "Cheese Grater to the Face" transfer by some missionaries here. We are working hard but things aren't going as well as we had hoped. Bea might be the last great thing to happen in this area. Areas tend to go through cycles of things happening or things "dying". This area with the baptism of Bea has kind of died. It sounds like next transfer it will close for a few months then reopen. That "Turn it off then on again" method works wonders here.

On the topic of death, I have no idea what happened to the "dead man who was actually alive" last week... Our neighbor said nothing about what happened. Though or next door neighbor died last week. Massive week long without stop funeral.... So, if he had died we would have heard. Thankfully no pretty much dead person was in our "lawn" today. Speaking of lawn, Grandma rakes the sand out front of our house for us... Everyone does that here... Except us, so she does it. I find it super funny, but it "makes things look nice"...

That's it for the week because I want stuff to talk about on Skype this week. Thanks everyone for your love and support as always!

PS: Have you ever wondered what drinking sugar would be like? Well this week I found a guy who juices sugar canes (with a little lemon)... It was amazing.

They rake the sand here.

Sugar cane juice with lemon.  Yum.
