I got hit by a parrot this week, not in the he hit me with something, but he flew into me. I hate parrots.
But, I also got hit by another bird, this time in the other sense. A nice early Christmas present dropped from the sky. Luckily it only glanced a hand. Got licked right off...
Met Patrick Stewart´s dopple ganger. Right before I told him, he told me I looked like Billy Crystal. Hmm, not seein' that one but I´ll take it.
I got stung by three wasps this week, all in the face. Two on the same cheekbone, maybe ten minutes apart, not pleasant, and one on the other side temple. Looking a little lumpy.
Had lunch with a family, the husband was a casual millionaire who loves basketball (yuh) and thus me, and also knows Anderson Varejo and told me that if Brazil comes back from the world cup thing early, he´ll introduce me. #Willbaptize. Didn´t know he wasn´t playing in the NBA anymore.Also, his wife was a self proclaimed, and studied, Communist. It was an interesting lunch to say the least.
Other highlight, we had another walk through a field to 'cut time.' It didn´t work. While we tried to decide to press on, a herd of cows found it´s way behind us. I´m not going to be pushing my way through the cows, and resulting cow pies, so we pressed on. Over a pipe ten feet above the river, looked really cool, but we all know I´m not a picture guy. I´ll try harder.
I almost fought a perfume salesman. We were walking back home at night, dark, through a small alley. Two guys are coming the other way, on big and chunky and black, and the other just looked like a greasy sleeze. Then he spoke and he was like "Hey guys, lemme show you whats in this bag"
I almost swung, lemme tell you, he was just perfectly imitating a movie alley robbery or something, where he pulls out a gun or something. But he pulled out perfume. Got two free spritzes instead of a friendly neighborhood robbery. Twas nice. Also, cologne here is way too expensive.
And lastly. Curiosity killed the cat. Literally. We were at this house, right?, doing our thing. Suddenly we hear this screech, thump thump thump thump.................The cat, retched thing, had tried to see into the running washing machine with a broken lid. and slipped. And just got destroyed. The clothes too. Not a pretty sight or smell or just wow, yeah, effectively ended our visit there. But, he shouldn't have been looking where he shouldn't have been looking. So, he got pummeled.
Luckily for us, the one responsible for us is a lot more forgiving, and he doesn't punish us for being curious WHEN we are searching and looking for worthwhile, good things. If we have a question or problem, we can take it to Him and He will give us the answers we need.
James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
If you have a question, ask and you will receive, that is one of my favorite promises of the gospel.
It may not be the answer we are expecting, or that we want, but we will receive that answer. I love you all, merry Thanksgiving, happy December.
Love,
Elder Uncle
