Taina vs. The Snake

Hey guys,

Yes is email is coming a day late, we had an emergency trip down to Asuncion yesterday, never fear, we are both ok, just had to go to the doctor, and my companion is feeling much better because of it. Anyhow, this past week has been absolutely crazy!! Adventures of this past week:

Guava fruit

 - We killed a wasp’s nest that was living on our porch. At first I was trying to see if they were home and due to the fact they were lacking a doorbell the next best thing was to throw an empty tape roll at it. Wasps know how to swarm and are not afraid to do so, but my lovely companion was lying in wait with a spray to kill them, it was fun/scary.

-I came in contact with my first snake... we were helping a family clean their yard and we went to lift this big log thing, and all the sudden Hermana was yelling at us to back up. It was great fun, as we tried to kill this snake, (for those coming late to this party, I HATE snakes, very much so, not a fan) but we crushed its head with a rock, probably more times than we needed to but, it was great fun.

-Same day as the snake, Paraguay decided to rain cats and dogs. We were at a family’s house at the time, but it eventually came time to leave and it was still going strong, and we were not wearing our boots, so we went a back way, and it was crazy, we were scaling muddy walls, to avoid puddles 

(totally felt like Nathan Drake) it was a ton of fun, despite being slightly terrifying at the same time.

-Today was happy rabbit day, so hopefully you celebrated!!!

Other news: the trip to Asuncion was good, I am really glad I started out in a tiny place like Santani, the city is crazy!!!!!! But I got to try Burger King for the first time...ever, who would’ve ever thought my first time would be in Paraguay. So good times...

Right now I am reading in Alma, trying to finish it before the end of this change, but the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi people is a good one, go back and read it!! Thanks for all the support, have a wonderful week!!

Love,

Hermana Douglas
