Jan 18 More farming and soccer!!

Hello Everybody!! To whom it may concern I'm continuing to have a

great time here in Wanica with elder Van Den Herik. Although it's

possible it could be our last full week together since transfer calls

are on Saturday, we aren't sure what exactly will happen but we both

think at least one of us will probably get sent somewhere else.

Personally I kind of hope I stay just because the area's pretty good.

One of our investigators, 'E,'has come to church the past two weeks

in a row and so we're excited about that. We helped out again at one

of the member's banana farms and put a whole lot more wooden poles in

the ground he's going to eventually use as a vegetable garden! He

wants to plant something calledd "sopropo" a surinamese vegetable

somewhat similar to green beans just a whole lot more bitter :p

Highlight of that service project was probably getting ambushed by a

cow but eventually giving it water and befriending it until it

eventually let me pet him. He nearly charged me like 4 times but other

than that he was reasonable. Haha we played soccer with all the

missionaries in Suriname and that was pretty cool, we took a group

photo because one of the sisters, sister Christianson, is going home

in 10 days! She flies to Trinidad on saturday and so she's on her way

out. In suriname we all know each other so well that it's always a big

deal when someone heads home, a couple more sisters will be headed out

in the following transfers after but as far as elders go me and my

group of five are pretty much the next ones :O crazy stuff. anyways,

hope you all have a marvelous week and I'll see you guys next week!

Caught Elder Rodas sleeping on the job ;)

They got a LOT done!

We think he had a rambutan. He said it was kinda like a grape but with a crazy shell. 

Soccer pday!!
