mission email 11-15

Breaking news! Our boonie chicken, Henny Penny laid her first egg and 2 nights last week we came home in the evening and snakes were in her cage. The very brave Elder Norton grabbed the first thing nearby, a small hand broom and he saved the day and Henny Penny.  Evidently you have to leave the dead snakes right where they are so the other snakes won’t come near. OOG- ONLY ON GUAM! To add to the creepy crawly drama a spider the size of my hand started crawling near her too, Elder Norton squashed it good. The whole time I am sitting inside the car watching as I didn’t dare get out! Then when I did every little thing spooked me and I was doing my little startled screams all night. I do believe my grandsons know exactly what meme is talking about, right boys, right Nathan? Hehe Went to get the folding chair to sit in it and there was ANOTHER snake all coiled up inside! If you heard someone scream it was me…..all the way from Guam! Elder Norton got his trusty hand broom and got it good! I think he needs to get his machete out and it keep nearby!

More drama ,dogs and puppies are everywhere, also known as boonie dogs because they are as wild as the chickens, and of course could very well be a Pohnpein’s next meal( they eat doggiesL ,anyhow a puppy crawled under the tire one night at Tony’s house and we didn’t know it. Poor puppy is in heaven. No big deal for them but we were traumatized!! Now we check under the car all the time!
