Week Sixteen

week report:

New Years

Here, everyone parties until like 7 the next morning. Me and Manrique bought a pineapple and I chopped it with my machete. New tradition.

Yeah this week me and Manrique just went ham in Barbosa. Taught a ton of lessons.

We taught Rolan. He's maybe late 60s. Always wears deep v necks. We taught him about repentance. he looked at me dead and said "we're all sinners."

There was a random parade of about 250 cowboys riding horseback through Barbosa. Some rode with radios and had music playing.
One saluted me.

We taught this blind lady and her blind husband. She told us it was really hard to do laundry and not mix colors. Elder Manrique accidentally left a muddy footprint on the floor, but of course, they couldn't see so he tried to clean it up without them hearing. It was funny.

We contacted a hitchhiker. He's 19 and has been on the road 5 years. He is from Medellin. He took 2 long blades of thick tall grass and made grasshopper sculptures out of them

We bought a ton of oil and Elder Manrique made Milanesa. So good holy.
