Sunday February 28 was the zone family home evening which is held the last Sunday before transfers occur. We decided to have it in our home as it is more intimate and I could cook a meal. We had been reminded that the last FHE before we arrived, all they had to eat was pineapple and cookies (great sighs). So, it was spaghetti, garlic bread, marinated cucumber salad, potato salad (South African style) and blonde brownies. For our next meal I will make sure to serve some rice, just fresh bread, and no fancy salads. Serving and cooking food for two different cultures at the same time can be a bit of a challenge at times.
On Wednesday we had the opportunity to pick up and transport 4 departing missionaries from the Bugembe Branch. Imagine 4 from a Branch of 100 all entering the MTC at the same time. We listened to their testimonies on Sunday in Sacrament meeting as well as two other young men who will leave in 2 weeks. President Moses Mbiro is known for the number of missionaries who leave from his small branch. He was there to say good-bye as were some of the branch members and friends.

You are having some amazing experiences. It sounds like you are back in the swing of things preparing food for lots of people, Rae Ann. It seems like you can get quite a few American kind of foods as well as African. Its great that you like to cook and I am sure you are greatly appreciated for it. Congrats to Kim for being made a counselor in the Mission Presidency. Best wishes. Jerry
