Saturday was a slower day.\u00a0 Larry and I stayed home and Larry worked on the hot water heater at our place.\u00a0 It had not been working and our showers were on the cool side, but not bad.\u00a0 He discovered that the thermostat was not working.\u00a0 He went to town bought a new one and replaced it.\u00a0 Now we have hot water!\u00a0 When he took the cover off the thermostat, out fell\u00a07 lizard eggs.\u00a0\u00a0I don’t think they will hatch after being so close to the hot water heater.\u00a0 [ Larry — they were hard boiled! ]<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, Larry took pictures around while I went to a ladies meeting.\u00a0 i caught a ride with someone who drove by.\u00a0 It was nice to see all the ladies from church together.\u00a0 It was wonderful to hear them sing. Mrs. Pierce player her accordian.\u00a0 We had a Bible study given by Jullian Zwane. Then tea. Lots of cake and plenty of tea.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 I brought some crackers into our cottage, in case he woke up during the night hungry.\u00a0 He slept all night and felt much better in the morning.<\/p>\n
Sunday we went to EBC church. It was good to see everyone again.\u00a0 Neil Williams was over his flu and was able to preach.\u00a0 He worked with the youth when we lived here and now he is the pastor.\u00a0 He is doing a good job.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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!\u00a0<\/p>\n
After church, Thelma Pierce invited us to eat with her family.\u00a0 They have a family pot luck every Sunday at her farm.\u00a0 This Sunday was a\u00a0 small gathering.\u00a0 The Chester Youngs were there, Thelma’s daughters and some other young relatives.\u00a0 It was very enjoyable.\u00a0 We enjoyed the breyani especially.\u00a0 We also had lamb, chicken, and lots of things to go with it. Food in Swaziland is much tastier than in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
