New Skills
One particularly fun part about being a missionary is all of the random skills you pick up. Some are more noteworthy than others, but life never gets boring. So far I have learned how to...
Speak another language
Diagnose and treat random illnesses
Hook up a generator in less than two minutes
Cut Hair
Eat rock filled rice without breaking a tooth
Put my truck into 4 wheel drive (Grant still has to take it out!)
Use a sewing machine
Wear a traditional wrap without it falling off every 30 seconds
Wax my wood floors with coconuts
Get a good bargain
Cook from scratch
Not scream when a rat passes by my feet
Make a movie
Drive a quad and a moped
Play LOTS of boardgames
Hail a pousse
Avoid a pousse...
The list could definitely go on and on...One helpful skill that I am learning has been through other missionaries and volunteers. While I would have never thought I would be learning the skill of quilting in my twenties...here I am non the less. Although I have a long ways to go before mastering this skill, I think I am starting to get the hang of it. Thank you to all of the ladies who have taken the time (and patience) to pass this skill on to me!
