Odds & Ends

Holiday over its now time to really get to work here. We have the goal set for 100 hours... Plus we have Vic falls still to do at the end of the month..so these next few weeks we will be out and about preaching our little hearts out. Tony and Tracy left for the US today (Saturday) so we need to step up our walking and study game. We will miss them greatly but know that its a necessary trip so we sent our love with them with the hopes that everything is cared for in a timely manner so we can meet again before we both head home.
In our congregation we have 24 regular pioneers and last night we had another 6 or 7 announced for the auxiliary pioneer hours so we should have plenty of support this next month. We have a rep for preaching already which makes walking down the streets way easier, less people asking for money cause they know we will just hand them the newest mags.

We don't have a washer or dryer..besides our hands, at our place. Any giving day you walk into our bathroom and its full of women's clothing drying.. Ha. We don't take them outside because of the Bot flies. They lay eggs on wet clothing that hatch when warm skin rubs on them. They then burrow into the skin and sooner or later re-hatch out of your skin.. You then give birth to flies.. Of course there is no real issues after..it's just gross.. Everyone irons their clothes here but if you were to ask why they couldn't give you an answer. Its just what has been done the last 100 years. No worries we take care so as not to have that happen..so far.  Its good for us to have these little things to worry about it helps us appreciate the things in the states later.  Same goes for the water we boil everything before we eat or drink..minus soda. :)
Last note. Today I finally started a bible study. Its on our route for the cafe and Friday afternoons I will have a real student that we can grab for meetings. I'm super geeked to see how she grows. She's in her last year of school here so chances are good that for a while she may come with us. Pray it goes well!!! ;) alright we re off to do a few more homes and street calls... Loving you all!

BTW..did I mention last email we helped take lit to a rural kingdom hall? Included the wine for the memorial.  It was amazing to be a part of that.
