I only like it with tons of sugar.
If I wanted that wonderful grass taste, I'd lick the bottom of a lawn mower.

The following is a sad story for me.

My first night in the mission field, my companion took me to visit one of our investigators. While there, his less-active-member wife made us some jamaica. This was the first time I'd had that drink, and I loved it. I loved it a lot. I still love it.

Fast forward two weeks, and we were lunching with a different less-active member. She made us a nice Ecuadorian meal, including a drink I'd never had before. I loved this drink, also. I mean, I LOVED it. I drank like four glasses of it, and showed no signs of stopping.

Judging from my experience with jamaica, I figured I'd found an even better beverage of Latino origin that I could enjoy for the rest of my life.

"Hermana, what is this? It's delicious!"

"Oh that's iced tea, honey."

I'm still sad thinking about it.

That is truly sad.

Although as I was reading this I was halfway expecting the drink to turn out to be alcoholic, which would have been both funnier and probably less sad somehow.

So, if you accidentally drink something against the Word of Wisdom, what do you do? Do you have to go and confess and go through some type of repentance process? Or do you just have to .... not do it again?

When I accidentally break the Word of Wisdom I don't worry about it, and in this instance all I did was stop drinking the newly-forbidden, sweet, sweet nectar.

Kombucha. The blog I read that said it tastes like a douche turns out to be right.

Resurrecting old threads, because what else is there to do in Lima on a Thursday night?

One of the bishops in my mission looooooooved "Black Grain Juice," which I believe, is essentially non-alcoholic beer. That stuff was WRETCHED.

Yeah, I'm gonna take screenshots of those "suggestions" at some point tomorrow when I actually have my phone next to me.
