We cover two areas because Guyana only allows about
twenty foreign missionaries into the country at a time. It's been kind of stressful because there is
so much to cover and Guyana could be its own mission.
I can't understand a word that comes out of the
Branch President's mouth and there are always drunk people walking around at
any time of the day, so they get to be pretty interesting.
I can't understand a
word of what anyone says and it's just because of how much slang and how fast
they say it all, it's completely frustrating!
Some West Indies
slang: pigney=children, next=another, "You know how fer read?"= do
you know how to read?, vexed=pissed, licks=beatings, they pretty much just say
regular words but they mean different things. It's killing me... I'm getting pretty good at the smile and nod.
It is a good day so far. I am not enjoying the living conditions mostly. We have had to take bucket
showers all week because we don't have enough water pressure for it to come out
of our shower pvc pipe... And it's cold cold water... haha. But it sure is an
experience. I figured out though that tomorrow is my month mark. pretty crazy!
I feel like I was in the MTC for a month...
