Rabbits and avacados

 


We were invited to have dinner with a family here in Lusaka. They have become good friends with the Hales so we all went together. I’m quite leery of eating in strange places and strange foods but we were assured that we would be okay.

The Quero’s are originally from the Philippines but have lived in Zambia for the past six years. Very nice and gracious family. Brother Quero is a counselor to President Whiting. He works with the Pathways program. There is a huge push Pathways in this area. Education is so vital!!

Guess what they fed us? New foods…at least to me! Hal ate rabbit when he was younger so no big deal to him! I was brave once again and tasted rabbit. So out of my comfort zone!

Have you ever seen an avacado this big!

    Janis--I sure don't like the idea of you having to taste Rabbit in a setting where it may not TASTE GOOD!! Mom cooked rabbit for us all the time, and she made it taste WONDEFUL! Dennis had never tasted rabbit, but she fixed it for him, and he goes on and on in a Positive vein, about how GREAT our Mom's fried rabbit was.

    I fried up a cottontail rabbit for Lance and his friend Willie one time when they were teenagers--and they LOVED it! I will need to talk to Hal one of these times and see what he thought about the rabbit he had there where you are, and see if he thought it was at all Good.... And after you get back home, if you are Brave enough--I'll fix rabbit for YOU and show you how it's SUPPOSED to taste, and I bet you'll like it fine... :)

Angels Round About Them

  "I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." D&C 84:88    Eleven missionaries were traveling from Malawi to Lusaka, Zambia, in two separate vehicles on 2 January 2023. It was about 1:00-1:30 in the afternoon; it was raining so the roads were a little bit slick, even though it was very warm. They were coming around a curve when an oncoming car was in their lane. Elder Masengere swerved to avoid a head on collision. The side of the road had a small embankment, large enough that it flipped the Ford Ranger over that five missionaries were in. Elder Masengere, Elder Wantoe, Elder Church, Sister Ward, and Sister Keitirile. The flipped car did not roll, but spun around and slid on its top on the pavement. The on coming car just sped away! The other missionaries traveling in the van was close behind and saw the accident. They quickly got out of their vehicle to assist. They helped Elder

It was the only way we could keep the secret of my parents getting a mission call. Everyone was surprised. I’m  the only one who knew it was coming cause I saw a letter one day early in January on the kitchen table. So I planned the party😁. I made the puzzle map of the U.S. cause me and my parents thought it would definitely be a states mission. But…they are going to Zambia (in Africa)😅. I don’t know who is going to be more shell shocked- my mom or my dad. If you know my mom, she does not like big adventures away from home. This will definitely be the ride of their life!”

Out of the Hospital

We sent Sister Ward and Elder Church off today. Many, many mixed emotions!! They loved their missions and don't really want to go home, but they realize they need proper medical care.    Sister Ward saying good-bye to her companion, Sister Keitirile. They were companions for an entire week! Sister Keitirile had another surgery yesterday. Hopefully, her last one and soon to be released from the hospital, as well. Elder Church looking sharp in a new white shirt that we bought for him. One last incident at the hospital was when they brought wheelchairs for Elder Church and Sister Ward to use. The one Elder Church was put in was ready to fall apart. I said, "He can't use that chair! He needs a different one." Someone said to me, "They know what they are doing. It will be alright. Let them do their job." "No!" I replied. "That wheelchair is about to break!" Truly the wheels...one in front and one in back were literally ready to fall off! The n
