so, this week we were riding on our bikes down the road like normal. and i happen to see a little snake from a pretty far distance. and my companion didnt. he just rode by it like it was nothing. but i saw it, and i veered away from it. and as i rode by it, i was kinda on the other side of the road. but as i rode by, it snapped at me as if to bite me. Luckily i had already veered away from it a bit. it didnt reach me or anything. But as that happened, i noticed that its head was fanned out quite a bit, of course, the unmistakeable look of a cobra. so i started freaking out pretty bad. haha. and i had to go back to the snake to get a picture of it for photographic evidence that i has truely been struck at by a cobra. so i went back. at first i took some pictures from about 30 ft away. but that wasnt good enough for me. I got up close to the thing. (now writing about it i feel really stupid) and i got about 8ish feet away from the thing to get the picture that i just sent you.
so. the next house we went to was an investigator tht is really smart. and he knows about all the outdoors and things. I showed him the picture on my camera and told him what had just happened. He told me i was really lucky that the cobra didnt spit at me becuase that cobra is a spitting cobra. and not only that, it was the type that was the black and white stripes. which is the worse kind. apparently i was really lucky. and come to find out, spitting cobras can spit venom in the eyes of a 6ft man from 8 feet away like it is nothing...
So, not a whole lotta time this week! but that was something cool that happened.
Also, we had a baptism. Her name is Marina, and she is super cool. She is the wife of member that has been innactive for a while. But we started to teach her, and she really helped her husband out to get acctive again! so things are great!! and shes a super cool recent convert already! and we are now busy teaching her family. her mom and her dad want to join the church. and her little sister is getting baptised later this month! is all good.
Until next week-
