Let's talk about my weird craftiness, and the awkwardness that ensues.
So, apparently I just work with coconuts, but anyway, I wanted to make
a bowl out of this coconut. It rested flat, and had broken along the
edges relatively even. So I've been sanding it down, and sanding it
down some more. Finally, last week, I got it to the point where I
thought it was finished. Then I realized I wanted to use some sort of
finish to kind of seal the deal and make it look a little better, so
we went to the store to get some wood stain or something. Alas, the
store didn't have wood stain, so, my backup plan? Clear nail polish. I
however, am not well versed in nail polish, and it turned out to be
more complicated than I had anticipated. In the end, I resorted to
grabbing all the nail polish bottles with clear insides (there were
more than I thought there should be) and just having the lady at the
register help me out by telling me what each one did, and how they
would look after drying. Needless to say, she thought I was a bit
crazy. Nevertheless, I polished my coconut, bleached the inside, and
now I have a little candy bowl.
While we are on the topic of awkwardness and photos, this sometimes
happens at district meeting...
Also, Welcome to Coatesville! The bane of Chester County!
The rest of the week was filled with fun and awesome missionariness.
Including, but not limited to: teaching investigators in Kenya over
Facebook (that time difference, it's getting in the way), having
wonderful conversations with British families, meeting French
speakers, lots and lots of lightning, going on exchanges with awesome
elders, being hounded by hounds while trying to conduct a baptism
interview, petting some goats, and waiting 5 hours for an oil change.
So, life is brilliant.
Love,
Elder Horne
