What's in a name?

Funny moment, Week 10


Weeeeeeell!

So that’s my new name at the worksite. What a pain. It’s cute when an 8-year-old girl calls you that to say hello, as was the case the other day. But then when one of the construction workers decides to make fun of you for it, and get all the American missionaries to join in on the fun . . . straight torture. Then when they tell Ray’s 7- and 9-year-old daughters . . . crooked torture. And then when the weekly mission team bus driver shows up after the weekend off to yell “Weeeeeeell!!!!!” out the window of his bus . . . arrrggghhh.

Then when everyone on the mission team poses for pictures at the end of the day and replaces “Cheeeeeese!” with “Weeeeeeell!” . . . well, shucks.

So I don’t know how funny this moment actually was, you’d have to ask everyone else who loved every minute of it (and all those who continue to join in on the fun :-)
