11-10-14 - PURE SUGAR

HOLA.

I was just remembering the other day that I named my blog "Cameron's Guayaquil adventure."

Looking at my mission, this title is no good.  I've been on my mission for seven months and I've come to know that there is much more to this mission than Guayaquil, especially sense I've never spent more than a day in Guayaquil.  Therefore, it might needs be that we change the name of the blog. I'm open for suggestions.  Mine is something like "I Hate Busses" or simple "Cameron's Mission Blog" or "Two Years of Rice, Bread, and more RICE."
Any of the above will do, or something else?

Speaking of pictures, I'm gonna send a few.  I hope all is well back home.  All is well here!

SO, I remember back when I was a little younger and would go shopping with mom.  I remember the cereal isle and begging for Captain Crunch. Mom would always respond "That's just pure sugar"

*Ehm*

Dear Mother, last week an investigator of ours cut down something that was in his backyard and gave it to us...

...This is Sugar Cane...

...People here like to cut it and suck on it. 

Mother, THIS is pure sugar.

;)

Me and another missionary said that he could work for Disneyland.

We went to visit Carlos and Gissela at Gissela's mom's house last weekend, we found that they were having a neighborhood block party.  They were playing fútbol, musical chairs, and also there was this thing...

 Carlos pointed it out to me. It looks as though their Crucifying food and household goods.  But what's REALLY going on is that they've told the little childeren that there's $15 and as well as all the goodies that can be seen here. All they have to do is climb the poll and get it. 

One of the Misionaras here told me that it's call a Monigote.

Most of the kids here have the ability to climb polls without problem.  The trick is the blue stuff that's on the poll: it's greased...

...They were out there for a good half hour trying to clean the poll off so they could climb it....

...Eventually they got a kid up there.  He quickly pocketed the $15 and started dropping the goodies down on the people below.  And there was much rejoicing...

...And...

This is the ugly little chicken named Mariposa

...and- here I am!

This is me

There's no where else on earth I'd rather be.

*Badly quoted a Bryan Adams song that no one listens to*

Yeah, that's everything for this week.  Love you all!
