"In or out? In...out? or possibly waiting at the door?"

Titile is a paraphrased quote from the movie "The Ringer".  I think it is what is going on in our assistants minds sometimes.  This week we had some political unrest, but they wouldn't tell us if we were inside or not till about ten-o-clock, when we should already be done planning and then going out to proselyte but hey, whacha gonna do, anyways stories!

Number 1: "We aren't crazy, no not crazy at all"- Elder Tucker quietly speaking to himself
To be completely honest with you guys, sometimes mission and the heat just fries your brain. Most people who know me or have been in a math class with me know that I tend to talk to myself when working out things.  So while standing at a Matatu stage planning for what to do since we got bounce. I was talking it out and this little boy and his mom walked by, and the little boy asked the mom in Swahili, "Why is the crazy mzungu talking to himself?" then I just started laughing which didn't help my cause.... I could be a little more gone than I thought.


Number 2: Perching
So ever since I was a little kid I have really liked high places. I like to sit and think I call it perching. Most of my flats have a high place to sit and just talk with god, and admire the world.  Well yesterday I just wanted some quiet, some me time.  Yes missionaries like that sometimes.  So like usual I climbed the water tower, and was admiring the stars( which by the way are beautiful in Africa, cause less lights).  But my companion thought I had gone to the bedroom.  So he locked the doors and then accidentally fell asleep on the couch, leaving me locked outside. When he goes to sleep, he goes down hard, but after ringing the doorbell for like ten minutes.  I was finally able to get in the house.

Sorry my stories aren't super awesome this week like they are normally, but honestly this week was pretty boring, so my choices were a little limited haha, Sometimes a mission gets really boring.

(Mom is not happy with the perching-will be praying for being busy with missionary work and keeping his feet on the ground.)
