Another good week in Africa. This week, it was so hot. It was probably the hottest I have ever felt. Then, after it was super hot for a few days, it rained all day and cooled off. That night, it got down to about 75°F, and I almost froze to death. I had to sleep with a blanket. My body can't decide what's going on. But it's okay. I know that I have adjusted to the heat here because, like I said earlier, I freeze when it's anything below 75°F. I'm not a fan.
We are halfway through the transfer, so we are just trying to get people ready for baptism. We were given this sweet referral this week. His name is Solomon, and he owns a chicken/fish farm. It was super cool to head to his place and see how they farm here in Africa. I'll link a video of him feeding the fish at the bottom, but he's a super cool guy, and his English is really good, so I can actually communicate! He also farms sugarcane. He gave us some sugarcane to take home and try, and wow, sugarcane is way better than I thought it was going to be. Anyway, on another note, we are just continuing to meet new people each and every day. We met this new lady, her name is Emilia. We buy bread from her. We never really talked to her until we stopped to buy bread one day, and she just started asking so many questions! Now we stop and are teaching her. So I'm excited to see where this one goes.
I'm learning how to cook here, small small. Elder Bloomfield and I prepared groundnut soup and rice ball on Saturday with the help of our neighbor. It turned out really nice. I'm honestly surprised it turned out good because most of the stuff I attempt to make isn't nice. I've said it before, and I will say it again, but cooking is not an easy task. I am very grateful for my mom and dad. They usually handled that task in our house. It's only a minor thing, but I'm sure thankful for them.
Well, other than that, I've just been carrying more buckets of water on my head. I will honestly start carrying things on my head at home too because it is so much easier just to plop stuff on your head and carry it.
Anyway, love and miss you all, and I will talk to you next week!
