Week 7

 I am doing really well, this has been pretty good week. I am getting used to everything now the only thing I haven't adjusted to is eating a whole plate of sadza. That stuff fills you up so fast it's crazy! We eat it with our fingers and it is so hot that it burns my hands but all the Africans can eat it with no problem!

The cool thing about Zimbabwe mission is that it is the highest baptizing mission in the world, and we have baptisms almost every Saturday. Which is so cool! We had 3 of our investigators get baptized on Saturday, Mathias and his son Emanuel and a kid named Wilson. 
We got to watch conference in a near by chapel. I really think the changes that are going to take place will help the church just like Pres. Nelson said.

This week we went with the other Elders that live in our house to a member's home who lives in their ward for dinner. After we ate, the man of the house pulled out two bags of snacks. In one bag there was dried up caterpillars, which were really gross! They left a nasty taste in your mouth. In the other bag there was little dried up fish like the size of Swedish fish. They tasted like a salty sunflower seed with a little fish flavor. I actually thought they were pretty good!

It's a beautiful place here. What is sad is that it is very poor here. Everyone asks us for money and if we will take with us back to the states. We just tell them we are leaving in two years and they walk away. Many people here have a TV and big speakers and smart phones but nothing else.       
 Love you all!
