Monday

It hasn't been a busy day - but we (mostly Elder Bullock) has been preparing to give a discussion later today to a 9 yr. old who should have been baptized but was not - and now he needs the discussions because he is 9.

We lost the zesa (electricity) at the flat this a.m. I hope we get it back before tonight - if not we do have our generator. Beauty was cleaning Taylors and couldn't do the laundry so we took her home. We don't usually do that but she told us about her neighbors who had a fire on the weekend and lost their bedding, clothes etc. We didn't want to just send something out without checking it out first and see if there was a real need. We took out some blankets and a bit of clothes that we could find, hygiene kit, soap and a teddy bear. They were grateful and said they would join our church now. :) We suggested they would be welcome to go and learn about it. We told Beauty she could do some missionary work now and invite them to church.

we gave the little girl the teddy bear.

We did our presentations on Saturday at the Young Single Adult conference. There were 25 there, which was a good turnout. It went well and they wanted to feed us lunch afterwards. We don't usually do that but it looked okay -- no one was sick after so..... They fed us rice with a tomatoe type sauce, french fries, coleslaw, and a small piece of beef. It was quite good.

Do you like this hockey shirt we happened to see?

There are a lot of huge boulders laying around the countryside in places. Sometimes they are stacked up like this one and you have towonder why they don't fall off (maybe they are just too big to move). There are bigger ones than this that we will have to get pictures of sometime.

Gardens starting to look better. We had to really get after the people who have garden plots (30' x 30') because they are very weedy and don't look good at all. It is the end of the maize season so a good time to get things dug up and weeded. They have been quite busy cleaning up their gardens since Sunday when they got the word.
