Saturday was a slower day.  Larry and I stayed home and Larry worked on the hot water heater at our place.  It had not been working and our showers were on the cool side, but not bad.  He discovered that the thermostat was not working.  He went to town bought a new one and replaced it.  Now we have hot water!  When he took the cover off the thermostat, out fell 7 lizard eggs.  I don’t think they will hatch after being so close to the hot water heater.  [ Larry — they were hard boiled! ]

In the afternoon, Larry took pictures around while I went to a ladies meeting.  i caught a ride with someone who drove by.  It was nice to see all the ladies from church together.  It was wonderful to hear them sing. Mrs. Pierce player her accordian.  We had a Bible study given by Jullian Zwane. Then tea. Lots of cake and plenty of tea.

We were planning to go to the site in the evening to eat with the group from South Africa, but Larry was sick when I returned from the meeting, so we stayed home and he went to bed.  I brought some crackers into our cottage, in case he woke up during the night hungry.  He slept all night and felt much better in the morning.

Sunday we went to EBC church. It was good to see everyone again.  Neil Williams was over his flu and was able to preach.  He worked with the youth when we lived here and now he is the pastor.  He is doing a good job.  When he was with the youth, they all would come to our house, about 30 young people, cram into our living room and we’d watch a movie, eat pizza (which I made) and then end up with homemade ice cream.  Sometimes we would have so many kids that we would open the windows and some of them would sit outside on the porch to watch the movie.  We only had a small TV, but since there was no TV in Swaziland, the kids loved the videos we played and didn’t mind the crowded conditions. I made a lot of pizzas for those kids. Good memories! 

After church, Thelma Pierce invited us to eat with her family.  They have a family pot luck every Sunday at her farm.  This Sunday was a  small gathering.  The Chester Youngs were there, Thelma’s daughters and some other young relatives.  It was very enjoyable.  We enjoyed the breyani especially.  We also had lamb, chicken, and lots of things to go with it. Food in Swaziland is much tastier than in the US.
