body

silly scripture of the week is 19:26

well last week transfers came and went, even though it seemed as though i was transferring, the call is that i'm staying. it took forever for us to get transfer announcements (4 hours late, we played scrabble for a while) and apparently, there was an unexpected surprise that kept them busy. i think it was a few unaccounted new elders who president had to put in with zone leaders.

finally got a new water filter after 6 months of drinking from a filter that was black on the inside when it's supposed to be white.. now we have a single stage filter instead of three. they'll have to replace it more often, but i won't have to wait forever to get a clean #3 filter.

so last Sunday, elder woodford killed a giant toad. (apparently they're poisonous anyways) and all the kids in primary were upset at him for it. it was funny watching them yell at him for it. and i was like where is he? i was thinking of getting the body and having someone make a palete (travel money) pouch out of it. i already have a frog pouch but this one was HUGE so it woulda been a good one. but i figured i'd just see if there are any big ones next time at the market. the other frogs are probably gambling next to it's dead body.

this week, there was hardly any work done because i had LBM again. it was because i ate some meat the wasn't fully cooked. but i wanted meat, we've been starving. We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days! (not really but you know what i mean) so the next few days were spent on the toilet or in bed next to the toilet.

one of my favorite deserts here is actually quite simple to make, and is really good. it's called mango float. you need; a few mangoes, lots of graham crackers, condensed milk, cream, and if you want, you can put sugar (probably powdered). what you do is, you mix the mango, condensed milk, cream and sugar. you layer the graham crackers on a pan so that nothing can pass through, then you put the cream/condensed milk/mango/sugar mixture on top, lay back on the graham crackers, then the mixture until you have around 5 layers. then you freeze it. and enjoy.

well i better get going, storms coming...
