So a few observations about the people here in Indiana. Not too many food differences that you see in other peoples missions, and not too many cultural differences either. We have met only a handful of actual "Hoosiers" where you really can't understand a word they say.... some people would call them Hillbillies, but Hoosier is a more common phrase around here.
One of my favorite differences so far is the fact that no one out here has a Vacuum, everyone here has a Sweeper.... That is what they are called, Sweepers... ?! Kinda random, but it rolls off their tounges without hesitation.
People don't know what mountains are... they think they do, but they don't.
Tons of people don't have teeth. We see tons that don't.
Lawn Junk: I think i've brought this up before, or have at least intended to, but Everyone has Lawn Decorations, including but not limited to, The Hoosier Goose, The Hoosier Ball, and the Hoosier Doorbell, (when we knock and 5 dogs start barking). I'be been meaning to take a few pictures of Great Hoosier lawns, but haven't seen the right one just yet, that truly depicts how most yards are.
Things are starting to get green here. The weather is Wet, and Grey most days, but not too bad. Not many people Ever have to water their lawn, it just sort of happens. And i must say, most grass here looks great!
Anyway, just a few more observations. Here are a few more pictures to check out, from the collection of one of our investigators.
Love and miss you all!
Love Elder Rees
