The internet was down today so our schedule got all messed up, so I don't have
much time to email today!
To sum up the week: We taught a ton of great lessons and found some amazing
people who are just so prepared to hear the message of the restored gospel of
Jesus Christ!
We also had a chance for service because we found this water pumping
station so we pumped water for the people of Chilobwe for awhile. The kids
there were going crazyyy because I’m an azungu. I love when kids play
with me and are happy about the azungu rather than the other kids who will
taunt me or the teenagers who will cuss at me or even the drunkards who will
harass me just because they want to show that they can speak English...

One of the member families in our branch, the Makawas, recently
moved and they moved onto Soche mountain,
the mountain our area is at the base of. The house that they built is the
highest house up Soche right now though. It's quite the hike.. but the
view is worth it! And the family is worth it as well!
Oh also I learned how to make porridge with Ufa! Ufa is maize powder
that is the staple food for everyone in Malawi. It’s quite delicious
actually.
So I mentioned Bro. Milos last time, or maybe I didn't give his name,
but he's the man who has crazy things about the Book of Mormon. So
we
met with him again and this time he went off about how it took place
in America and then went off about how bad America is and was actually quite
racist.. I'd never experienced racism towards me until coming on mission, but it’s not fun! But the key is to be patient and to not
take it personally!
I love being a missionary and I'm so grateful for the privilege!
