This was a pretty normal week. We worked a lot with other missionaries. The elders who we report to came to spend the day with us on Wednesday. During one lesson in a sketchy drug neighborhood, we watched a guy snort a line of cocaine off of the table in his front yard. Later, that same guy tried sneaking up on us through the chest-high bushes, presumably to try and rob us. Because he was high out of his mind, I just turned around and watched him trying to hide while my companion finished the lesson.
The next day, we went to visit the elders in the town south of us. During lunch, we had honey juice. To my understanding it’s just water and honey, but it tasted amazing on a blisteringly hot day. We also taught a lesson to the chief of an indigenous tribe in their compound on the outskirts of town. He felt the spirit during the lesson and gave permission for his daughters to be baptized. That was probably the most interesting situation I’ve found myself in so far.
Other than that, it’s just hot and humid, which is kind of unfortunate but not the end of the world. Anyway, have a great week and remember that Jesus loves you!
