Mary had a little lamb...and a croc

So this one time I got transferred  and we have a car, and I had only practiced driving on the left side of the road 1 time. So we go to transfers and they hand me the keys and send me off. And that night, me and sister S had an appt. with a member who lives in Muchea (AKA far far away on Judeas plains) it's like 30 minutes away and it is straight BUSH. The lady we went and saw had a lamb for a pet, and she had a crocodile in her pond. (welcome to Australia people) So anywho... we arrive there perfectly safe and happy, have a very great meal and then head home. It was close to 9 by the time we actually left. So we are headed down this dusty dirt road and I am getting sleepy and kind of nervous and next minute...... A KANGAROO jumps in front of my car. No joke. It was at least 5 feet tall and i SLAMMED on my breaks and legit almost hit this stupid kangaroo. I couldn't even believe it. hahaha I was like laughing/crying and shaking and was like WHAT THE. it was so cray cray.

Also, Sister S is adorable. She is hands down the most humble person I have ever met. I love her, and even though she is no Sister K, she has some great moments with her English as well (she is Indonesian) 

me: So what do you like to eat in Indonesia?

her: I dunno. Lots of spicy things. We eat lots of snakes.

me: SNAKES??

her: Yeah, like the little desserts with cream

me: OH you mean snacks??

her: oh yeah, snacks. 

       Well, except we eat snakes too.

So also, we literally live in a mansion. It is a full house. Back yard, front yard, and side yards and garage and 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms AND it comes with pets (the 5 spiders living under my desk) (I feel like I need to keep them there if I need to fit in with the people here) 

Seriously though it is massive and amazing. We are SO lucky.

This is a song we wrote here at home about Sista Dish's experience, please feel free to sing along:

 Mary had a little lamb

And a croc

And a croc

Mary had a little lamb 

and a croc for show

She lives out in the wild bush

Wild bush

Wild bush

She lives so far the kangas jump

Right out in front of cars

And so we pray for Sista Dish

Sista Dish

Sista Dish

That she'll remember on which side

The Aussies drive their cars
