Every
one here thinks that my name is Chinese because they pronounce it
"Chum-wee." Every day I get asked if I am from China or
Japan.
I
was almost attacked by a dog this week for the first time, but we got
away. Most of the dogs don't care about us and walk next to us or we
step over them, but this one came at us from under some apartment
stairs. We ran up the stairs, but when the person we where visiting
wasn't there we had to go back down to face the huge dog! We used our
backpacks as shields and ran from the dog. Now I know that scripture
power is a real thing!"
It
has rained and thunder stormed almost every day this week. On Thursday
a bolt of lightning struck really close to us. It was super scary
because the light and the noise happened at the exact same time!
When
it starts to rain is the best time for missionary work. My comp
doesn't really like the rain but I do because we help people bring in
their clothes and cover their little taco stands. Everyone is at home
so visiting and contacting is super easy when it s raining.
When
we are in a hurry we ride in these things called moto taxis which is a
little wagon behind a motorcycle. The pizza delivery guys ride
motorcycles too. It's funny. Sometimes I just start laughing because
the people here are all like Nacho Libre! My comp doesn't understand.
The
most popular things from Nacho Libre are the little bicycles with a
huge cart on the front for carrying the "Lord's cheeps" and
the corn on a stick. Watch that movie as a family and that is my life
with a million more people and houses. I hope you had a good two
weeks with baby Scott, and I love all of you.
