Bad news about the Lion and Cheetah park. We didn't get to go because the Zone Leaders working fund was stolen by a Branch Missionary and so they had to spend the entire day at the mission office. They had $180 dollars stolen. But it isn't President Dube who plans for the game parks and things. We get to have one Zone Activity per transfer so it was our idea. So then we had absolutely not plans for our P-Day last week. It was pretty boring.
The way our finances work is we get 200 dollars per companionship every two weeks. It all goes toward food, transport, and emailing. For haircuts we just find a barber who gives us a buzz cut, President Dube allows them because it is so hot.
No I haven't had any problems with homesickness. We are too busy to be homesick. But what I would give for a cold day. Man that would be nice. It is so hot here.
Yeah President Dube does have a crazy side to him. He is really funny. But no, he does not have small children. His youngest is around 11. So you must have been hearing things. We find out transfers tomorrow. It is crazy that this transfer is already over. I can't believe how fast these last five weeks have gone. I got the package with my garms in it, and the music player. Thank you. It is nice. But I haven't gotten the others yet. I hope you can find a good rain jacket for me because the one that I have is next to worthless.
We had a nice New Year's Eve/Day. On New Year's Eve, we all went to the Harare South Zone Leaders' (my zone) house and had a party because they didn't want us out in the area with all of the partying that goes on. We played games and lit off fireworks and ate a lot of food. We also watched The Other Side of Heaven. It is crazy to see how much different missionary work is now from what it was back then. We even were allowed to stay up until midnight to celebrate the new year. Then on New Year's Day we went to a school and played football with some guys from the U.S. Embassy. Two of them were members so that was nice. But I kind of pulled my groin some so I have been really sore the last few days. After football we went to the North Zone Leaders' house and watched a movie called Treasure Planet. It is some Disney movie that didn't make it real big. It was a nice day though.
Terrence still hasn't come to Church yet. Our next lesson is going to be the Sabbath Day. It is frustrating to see someone who is so accepting of the truth that won't come to church.
Tonderai is really struggling. We haven't been able to teach him for over two weeks. We had seen heim at him work once or twice and he was doing okay with the smoking but he hasn't been to church for a few weeks now and he never returns our calls. We might have to drop him soon.
But the Moyo's are still doing very well and are ready for baptism. They will be baptized on Saturday.
The Jena's are also doing well. Sister Jena is ready for baptism on Saturday but we're not sure about Brother Jena. He has been hovering on 1 or 2 cigarettes for the whole week. We just can't seem to get him to 0. But we haven't been able to talk to them for a few days so we will see. If he has been cigarette free then he will be baptized but if not then it will be pushed back a few weeks.
We have finally got the Branch President's son to come to Church. His name is Tedious. That has been the only thing holding him back from baptism, but he has been there the last two weeks. We have been so happy to see him there.
The Bisenti's are doing well and our lessons with them are so powerful but for some reason they haven't been coming to church. We don't know why so we are going to try to run by today to see why but we'll see.
Well I will give you more info next week. I love you guys.
Elder Cecil
