Working through the fix-its

What does a set of couple missionaries do when their TV and microwave won't work and they live in a town that seems almost pre-electronics age?

Well, of course, you drive out to a cute little house in the country, far from anything, and yell, "Inside...I have a broken TV...can you fix it?"

Well, this isn't exactly what we did...but almost! Our branch president, Pres. Mohammed, directed the way to the house of his longtime friend, Heydon, who repairs appliances.

From Heydon, on the right, we learned that our branch president's longtime nickname was Plug. Does that mean we call him President Plug? The name has a great ring to it...don't you think?

If you'll notice in the photo above, there are no stairs to Heydon's front door. I've wondered how he's able to jump onto his porch each time he wants to go inside his house. The elders insist there are some in the back that are covered with stuff but I don't believe them because I've never seen them.

Here is the house of Heydon's sister, one of his only three neighbors.

And here is his driveway as we turned to leave.
