The Cow Chronicles

Last weekend, the missionaries invited us to come up north with them to go visit some members. It was super fun, we love the missionaries. So, we were waiting to meet them at the bus station, and next to us this guy was selling what appeared to be giant honeycombs. Logan asked what they were , and of course the polite vendor offered him a sample. it was a big, fat white caterpillar! A caterpillar that would one day turn into a giant wasp!

Logan kindly accepted and ate it, and said it tasted like a big salty noodle.

So we met the elders, and had a super fun drive with them. We chilled with some members while they cut the elder's hair, and ate some eggs and rice, and then one of their neighbors called and said they needed help, their cow was stuck in a rice field. So we all got up and walked this BEAUTIFUL walk up a dirt road. It was like a bunch of jungley farm land, sooo pretty!

While we were waiting for this guy to drive here and help us, we chilled and an elder and I played with this super friendly cow! It was like a dog.

He could not stop licking! It was so disgusting!

So when it was time to go rescue the stuck cow, we had to cross this super muddy rice field. We found the poor old guy, and he was so hot and tired!

It turns out it wasn't even stuck. Just too hot and weak to get up.

So this guy with the Asian hat on the left came and rigged the cow up like this:

And he was like "Ok boys, take off your shoes, we're going through the mud with this thing! So everyone hesitated for a sec because the field was so gross, but Logan led the way and took his shoes off, and they DRAGGED this kicking cow through the field!

They threw it on the back of a lawn mower type of thing, then we all squished onto the back with the cow and drove back home!

They all got so filthy!

On the way back, this lady from our ward just set her back pack right in the poor cows face haha!

Some of the boiz after a good farmer's workout!
