AWKWARD MOMENTS

Here are some excerpts from today's email:


"Calling (Skyping) home was good!  I wish we had more time though.   I miss the McMullan humor and all your voices!" 

"AWKWARD MOMENTS this week:   My comp asked a lady how many months she had being pregnant......she wasn't exactly pregnant.  AWKWARD
Then, we had people answering the door naked....... AWKWARD
My Comp told someone that they'll be able to lose weight in the Millennium as a solution....  AWKWARD!"

"Today we made a cake/ banana bread/carrot cake and frosting thing.   I got the recipe from Hermana Garrison.  (The senior couple here) It turned out AMAZING!!"

"Someone asked us to give water to their chickens everyday while they are gone....Day 1 :   1 DEAD Chicken"

"Also this week,  because people think it’s HYSTERICAL here to YELL words in English. (I swear the word "Hello" for me…, I just completely ignore it now.) But they yelled “goodbye” to us, so  of course me being me, (I often, finish  phrases and words with a song)   I finished that with  "Goodbye world Goodbye!" Then I started to sing the whole song from what I could remember.  Dad would be proud!"

"Someone invited us over for January 1st, to kill a pig.... don’t know how that’s going to go but eh, it’ll be interesting. Farm life…, how I love you! "  

"We got talking to an Evangelical pastor. That was interesting. My comp started to get pretty heated.  It turned into a “proving the Bible in my way,” sort of thing.  I kid you not…, 2 hours with this guy!  He contradicted himself so many times. The Evangelicals (or at least this guy) all have different ideas from what it sounds like.  So many divisions under the same roof."





"2 of the funniest members here.  (That's olive oil, not wine)" 




There was a RS activity representing America
