Week 61: The Kasibu: Nice Dealers
It's been a tough week on the hard streets of Bambang. I thought my days in Worcester would do something to prepare me to deal with some dealers, but Bambang is something else.
We weren't actually in Bambang when we ran into the dealers. Elder Herrera and I were in a diferent Municipality called Kasibu, which is VERY far away from Bambang, but still in our area for some sinful reason. We were trying to get a ride to go back to Bambang (which was hard, and it was getting late) so we were getting kinda desperate. Vans weren't stopping, and Jeepneys weren't stopping, until this knight in shining armor with his chariot:
This was an interesting week as well because in the midst of all the veg dealers and hat wearing, Elder Herrera and I had to go to the hospital, because Elder Herrera has an ear infection. I sympathize, because I too had an ear infection years ago, and it was just the worst. Everyone who's ever had an ear infection, give Elder Herrera a pat on the back with your mind powers.
Love,
Elder Menzie

That right there is a "vegetable dealer" jeepney. it's basically what would happen if you took a normal jeepney and held down the shift key and moved the mouse to the very end of the mousepad. It was pretty darn fun.
Kasibu is really pretty.
It's a super cool area, but just because of where it is, it hasn't really seen actual missionary work ever, but we're trying to work out a solution for that.
Here are 2 pictures of me wearing hats:
