I'm Blue
It rained a few times this week, it was all fairly light and rarely lasted more than a few hours. The people here are all waiting for a large rain storm to hit so they can plant rice for the rice season. I know little to nothing about growing rice but apparently the ground has to very watery to plant the rice. I am sure such a storm will arrive shortly.
Anyway the week was good, we did a lot of walking and in case I didn't mention it the mission made a schedule change that involves walking in the morning. So it has been extra exhausting and even though I have walked a lot and spent 11 months in Mozambique I have been tired and sweaty these days.
P-day was a win. We went to Beira and just went to a few stores. Honestly it was kinda dissapointing until the end, but first I need to explain. When Elder Adams got here we set a goal to find led light strips to put in our house. Why? Because it's cool. Anyway as we were riding to zone confrence we saw a store selling... lights, and we saw light strips, score! So p-day we went and it was closed :( but we went back and it was open! So we bought blue light strips and now when we turn them on the whole house turns blue. It's been great.
On Wednesday we were working our way out to Madruzi to teach some people that live all the way out there. Well, we taking the path we always take but found that it was completely flooded with water. A kid walked by and we asked if there was another way or if there was a bridge somewhere and he told us this was the only way (unless we walked about another 30 minutes). Then he tried to help us find a path that wasn't flooded but to no avail. Then a man walked by and asked us if we wanted to cross. We said yes and he quickly dropped his ax and told us to climb on his back. I was like 'weird but ok' and one by one this guy carried us across through the water. Then the man picked up his ax and continued on his way. I suppose it was just another Good Samaritan willing to help two white guys cross a pond so they wouldn't have to get their feet wet. From now on though we'll just use the main road.
Well, that's all for this week, things are just cruising. Be a good person, stay in school, don't do drugs, live laugh love. Well that stunk. Anyway have a good week.
