Yay. Some nice stories this week.
This week monday. we just stayed and did nothing in barber for P-day. Way fun! Then tuesday had our district meeting. Pretty good but not as smooth as i planned. then we went to Tera Kora for the rest of the afternoon. It was alright not my favorite but allright. Then we went back home and taught a lesson in barber. Then wednesday. =) we had a Tradeoff with the zone leader. We jsut so happened to have a service project planned as well. So we went to the ladys house to clean up her spiky bushes. We were working hard for about 2 hours. Then as i was cutting down a tree with a machete smack smack smack BOING. The machete bounce back and made a really funny noise then hit the ground and i turned around and looked at elder king. Started laughing then bent down to pick it up and realized it had sliced my arm. right above my right wrist. sliced clean through the leather glove and a good 1/8th inch deep into my arm its only about an inch long. But was open pretty big. So we went to the hopsital and (expecting stitches) they glued it shut. Went home and now i have a cool little scar. Thursday was weekly planning and we finished the day with no lessons and nothing really to show for a days work. Friday we went to tera cora and were behind a bit becuase of our hospital trip on finding hours. So we went finding for 4 and a half hours super D duper. Started talking with a lady that started trying to prove me wrong with the bible and i ended up proving her wrong and she knew it started out as a very defensive conversation and quickly we had control again it actually ended very good they started asking about our missions and then i showed them pictures of you guys and their hearts melted and they listened to us more. Then saturday we started with a nice service project painting our investigators house... it was fun. Then went to our dutch class. WoohoO! and man dutch is not easy. Spanish and papiamento were so much easier. Sunday church was good. ANother 2:30 hours of finding time and not a single lesson. Today...P-Day =) we studied and my companion was waiting for me so we could go to the store. i was trying to make a lizard trap. He went into the other room and before i knew it i had sliced my index finger. Almost down to the bone. blood everywhere. My companion was just shocked that in the same week i had sliced myself twice. So we waited for about 30 minutes for the bus and finally got to the hospital. The nurse laughed at me. He said he would have stayed home and put a bandaid on it. This cut was much worse than my forehead scope injury that took 7 stitches. Deeper at least. Then the doctor looked at it and just put more glue on it. I was kind of shocked that the nurse suggested that i just go home and put a bandaid on it. That would ahve made a much uglier scar and as well would just leave and nice big open wound ready for infection. Big difference in American medicine and island medicine. But other than that this week wasn't super exciting. Almost all our citas fell through and we had a very hard contacting week.
But overall things are good.
