Girl’s Night

 


Girl’s night with these lovely ladies was a delight! Sisters Phekula, Keitirile, Managasau (top picture) and Sisters Johnson, Mangena, Bhembe, Tafirenyika. Sister Whiting and one of her daughter’s who was visiting was there too but they managed to miss the pictures some how!

Yes, learning names is quite the challenge!!! but these girls are the best…so happy and loving their service as missionaries!

We watched “The Other Side of Heaven” and ate popcorn and cinnamon rolls😀. Serving in Zambia is a breeze compared to what Elder Groberg went through!!!

Now while we girls were doing our thing, the boys (including Pres. Whiting, his son who is living with them, a son-in-law, and Hal) tried to go see a movie but it was sold out so they went and ate pizza instead. Dad thoroughly enjoyed his conversation with President Whiting!!

    Sounds like a fun night with great people. Is that something you will be doing often---a girls and guys night? Or what was the occasion for getting together?

      I think it is done about once a transfer. But we will be getting a new mission president and we will see how different...or the same...that things will be.

Into the Bush

    This little cutie is Mary. I didn't catch the name of the baby that is crying. When the Pease left, they asked if Elder Phelps and I could visit a couple of Humanitarian Projects to see how the work was coming along.  Yesterday we made that adventure.  The GPS pins the Pease gave us were not quite accurate (surprise, surprise). We ended up in the middle of nowhere!                                             Fortunately however, there were a couple of very nice ladies who spoke a tiny bit of English who agreed to take us to the Chinkuli school.  They, along with two young babies, climbed into the back seat of our truck (Sister Wilkinson and Sister Hatch were already in the back seat)! It was a little crowded but they were very determined to help us out!  They gave directions, "turn that way" or "go straight," or "not far." After driving on the w...

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 El...

Immigration

Image
We got up early this morning so we could be at the immigration office by 6:00 AM! The office didn’t open until 8:00 but we came early so we could stand in this line and hopefully be one of the first to get in. Typical of government offices (we think it is bad in the US, it’s worse here), there were a lot of people (employees) standing around and only one or two people actually doing any work! I was told to go to one desk, but after standing there for a minute or so the lady “working” there looked up from her phone, glared at me, then told me to go to a different desk! Not too friendly here or maybe they just don’t love their work! Anyway, we got our permits to stay here. One of my responsibilities will be to bring the missionaries here when they come into the country and go through this same process! About once a month. Not really looking forward to this. Not the greatest picture here but oh well, it is what it is.
