Sabbath Day, Rat Pee, and PePe Soup

Africa is treating me great like always! But how is everything with you all?  Now to answer a few questions.  My mosquito net gets tucked into my bed for sure.  Look who your talking to.  Do you think I will EVER let my net hang down when I know I have 6inch, 8 legged beasts roaming around my apartment?  Nope.  So I tuck my net in ALL the time.  That is one experience that I could care less to have out here;  Is a Spider crawling across me in the middle of the night.  Now the meat that was for our hamburgers (on the 4th of July)  was suppose to be cow meat.... but we don't know if its "actually" cow meat.  We just went along with what the package said, and said it was cow meat. so yeah! 
     I'm running out of time because The power kept shutting off at this email place so I don't have time to write too much, but I have a good story to tell.  We were at our investigators house named A. B.  This is the lady that we teach Pastor T. with, but this time Pastor T. wasn't there.  The only ones who were there, was mama, her, and D. who is one of my recent converts.  Anyway, we were teaching them about the sabbath day and how they're not suppose to work or do anything on Sunday besides go to church, study the scriptures, relax, visit the sick, visit family, and reflect on how things are going in life.  She asked us a question about if it would be alright for her to wash dishes Sunday morning.  We told her that if she was able to do it on Saturday then she should do it Saturday.  She said, the rats pee pee in the dishes at night so we have to wash them in the morning.  Now the interesting part of the story... me and my companion had just finished a nice bowl of pepe soup and rice from her....  You can kind of imagine how our facial expressions  changed once we heard her say that.  Oh well right? we blessed it with a prayer of faith so it won't get us sick. haha Faith is very important on a mission!!  We are still healthy and strong and haven't come down with some weird illness from it yet, so I think we're in the clear.  The joys of being In LIB!  and one more thing.  I tried a new kind of nut/fruit the other day.  They call it Tiger nut.  It tastes like maple syrup when you chew it.... weird at first, but i can handle it.
