Muri bwanji?
This week was not real great lessons wise again. We would have a full
day planned but when we would go to our first appointment they would
bounce us. We would then go to our backup plan and kulibe (nothing).
A second back up, same result. By the time we would do that it was
time to go to our next scheduled appointment. The pattern would
continue all day everyday. But even though things didn't work out
well that way, I don't feel that bad because we did all that we could.
Brian was baptized on Sunday as planned. I performed it because he
told me that I was going to do it when Sam was baptized. I also
performed one for a sister named Sister Nyirenda. She lives in the
other guys area and is the daughter of some members. I always thought
she was a member until a few weeks ago because she was always at
church. I guess they thought she was a member too. But she and her
husband were not baptized yet. They were both baptized yesterday and
she asked me to do it. I don't know why. In Lilongwe they didn't
really move it out of the city but just to a location that is more
central to the branch members. It was where it was because when they
formed it there was only one branch and so that was the most central
place. But when the branch split in February it was basically on the
outskirts of the boundaries far from anyone else. So they moved it to
area 47 a much better spot for it. I don't know how I got my
companion to ride the bike more. He just told me one day that he
wanted to ride the bikes and so we have been doing it ever since. We
get transfers this week so we shall see what happens. We missed Felix
this week. We never saw him, and he doesn't have a phone so we have
to try to track him down.
Kalimba Farm was sweet. Some of those crocodiles are huge. I got a
video of a smaller one that snapped at a stick that was poking it.
The stick was like as thick as a baseball bat and it broke the stick
and then you could still see the stick in its mouth after it. That
thing was so fast. If you blink you will miss it. I put a python on
my neck. Its skin felt cool. They said that it is not big enough to
kill you if it is around your waist but that the other one they have
could. They usually bring out the big one but it had just had eggs
and the keeper had taken them out so it wasn't happy with him right
now. They had a bunch of cobras in this one exhibit that kept
fighting each other. So the keeper would have to go and hit them with
a stick so that they would stop. They were fighting because they had
just fed them some live chicks and sometimes they would steal them
from each other. They also had a Black Mamba, the most poisonous
snake in Africa. It isn't actually black but it's mouth is so that is
why they call it that. We also played soccer there and had a braai.
It was a really good day. I enjoyed it. I also got some good
pictures. Dad it is the same place that President went. They
actually let him go inside the crocodile place I think.
I am excited about those gloves and baseballs. That will be powerful.
Elder Chikenge found out about my socks when he saw my pictures and
then asked about them. He is excited for them. I was told by our
Zone Leaders that they think I am no. 1 in the mission for mail. And
I know I have more coming, not only from you guys. Others have
emailed me telling me that they sent me letters. I wish that I could
go sky diving, I have always wanted to. I miss the World Series. I
actually saw a little bit of one of the Brewers Cardinals series in
Manda Hill where we email last week but I only saw one at bat and I
couldn't tell who was hitting for the Brewers. Any way I guess I will
talk toyou later.
Much Love,
Elder Cecil
