Finally had some time to post a little

This a big buck that we walk by nearly every day. There is one that has a lot more horn growth, but he will never come close. There are a whole herd of deer in this place where I think is some military thing. I'm not sure what the purpose of the deer are, but they are always there trying to find something to eat.












You can count the ribs on these two cows and all of the cows are that way. I have never seen a fat animal over here. They just wander all over town and try to find someting to eat and then go home at night. No one herds them very often and no one bothers them either.





This is a cow bridle. They punch a hole through the inside of the cows nose when it is just born and put a rope through it and just increase the size of the rope as the calf grows and it is never taken off. They are all brahma cattle, but they are really gentle and docile. You can see when they pull on the rope it tightens up in their nose and they come right too you. They are not afraid of humans at all. They are also the skinniest things I have ever seen. They do not have any milk cows at all they raise them for beef and it is pretty tough. The milk we get is from Australia and is heat treated and does not have to be refrigerated until you open it. They sell by the case and it just sets on the store shelves and it is surprisingly good.






This is medicine that they use for everything. The cut up small tree limbs and put this in water and boil it and then drink the water and is cures everything that is wrong. That is about the best they have









More food under the table. Every place we teach on the ground, and I mean on the ground there are chickens and ducks running all over. It is just a matter of time until they end up on the dinner plate. I don't think they feed them at all, they just have to scrounge for themselves


This is the meal they fixed for us. They killed a duck so we would have some meat. I really wanted to try it, but didn't dare.
A little boy dressed up and ready to go to school. He is the number one student in his class and is so friendly and fun to be around, His family cooked us a big meal while we were there. We didn't dare eat any of it even though it looks pretty good
A really great family that lives out in a place called Chup. They joined the church about 8 months ago and have not missed church one time since the very first time they came. He is now a couselor in the branch presidency. They ride about 25 kilometers on a one moto. He speaks pretty good english and you can just see the light of the gospel in their eyes and they are so happy. He works out in the rubber plantation and it is really nice and somewhat clean out there.
