A Flooded Room, Maggots, and an Apostle :)

Komenda Beach

Monday was sweet. We started by playing football as a district. Tons of fun. But since we have no water in the house, we had to take a sachet shower. Emailing in Cape was great. The Zone Leaders needed us so we waited for them, which nearly ruined us for shopping in the market. Luckily we were able to find our things. Came home and found that our room had been flooded by our bathroom sink. Since the water was gone we thought that it was turned off..... guess not. So we got that all mopped up before going to bed.

Fat Babies :)

We bought fish last night in Cape. And in the morning, we found big massive maggots all over and inside one of the fish. We bought a spoiled fish.... so nasty. Elder Seba insisted on cooking it -- we let him have it all to himself. District meeting was good. After, we went and had lunch and then tried to see people. No one was free, so we wandered around and found some sweet people. We pray that some will be serious. In the evening we went to Dina's to finish and she fed us Banchi dough with Okra soup. It is honestly so hard for me to eat Okra because of the texture. Swallowing loogies is not natural. So we ended up chucking half of the dough into the bush clear across the dirt road by them and let the cats help us out with the stew.

Zone Leader Exchange!

Wednesday we started at Dinas and she taught us how to make Jollof rice. I love that rice so much. All day I was sneezing non-stop. It was so bad. I got a huge headache from sneezing too many times. We were able to see Gifty, a new investigator. She's young but seems like she likes the message even with me having snot running down my face.

Thursday was sweet. Elder Knecht made some super nice burritos in the morning. Man, I was stuffed. We didn't teach anyone all day. But we did wander most of Komenda and ended up finding one woman also named Gifty -- a young mother that will hopefully be serious. Dina fed us again in the evening: Banchi dough with Palmnut soup and Okra. It was better because of the soup, but it was still hard to finish. That dough and the Okra don't mix.

Friday, the Zone Leaders came to spend the day with us to give me so training and to see the area. Elder Neville and Elder Masendi. I love them. Elder Neville came with me and I showed him around town. We weren't able to teach anyone because no one was home, but we tried having a few GC's with some people. They left around 4. I love those guys. :) Dina fed us AGAIN. This time Kokonte with Light soup and Okra. We scooped out the okra, though, since it's just a big wad. I love light soup. She had a nice barbell at the house and so she let us take it home. Just packed it home on my shoulders. :) I love working out.

4 Generations :)

Saturday was kind of messed up. We started by weeding for Felicia in front of her house. Came home and prepped and then went and taught Dina the Law of Chastity. I love teaching her. She's our most serious investigator right now. Felicia had us over for Jollof and it was wonderful. Man, I was stuffed. But after that, the day was bumbed out. The weather and the funerals were not helping the work. It was so rough.

Sunday was fantastic, though. Dina came to church and enjoyed it a lot. We went to Ola and had a nice time hearing from Elder and Sister Renlund. Our leaders are such wonderful and inspired people. I love them so much. :) I got to see my son, my grandson, and his son. So we had 4 generations all together! Pretty sweet. :) Came home and made banana bread and then went to Dina's because she invited us for dinner. I love her. :) The Germans invited us over to their house since this week and next they will be going back to Germany. We we brought the banana bread and visited with them for a bit. They are some awesome people. It's a pity they aren't members..... yet. :)
