Shrimp & Petroleum Festival - Mmm Yummy

From Joram's 11/3 email:

"My week was pretty interesting and pretty good. We were on lockdown for halloween night and the mood in the apartment was pretty depressed, so i wrote a few letters and we just ate and did nothing, nobody came to our apartment so pretty quiet night and everybody was in bed by 10 because there was nothing to do. This week in Morgan City they had the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival which is pretty big here, so we went and did some contacting and tried to find some spanish people. Turns out not very many spanish people came but the other two elders in the branch that live with us found some cool people to teach. I ate a ton of good food there, i had aligator on a stick, which is pretty much like chicken just a bit slimier, i also had shark ka bobs, which weren't very good. Lets see i also ate a ton of deep fried shrimp. so yeah tons of food.



This week we went to a members house with the English elders who had a monkey. so i got to play with a monkey while they talked. It was so cool, it would just kind of sit on the couch next to me and would occasionally hold my hand or put its hand on my knee or something wierd like that."
