TRANSFERS!!!! So that means packages on Tuesday!!!!! So I was
frustrated because transfers are a big deal! It can change up
everything but me and my comp stayed the same but the other
companionship changed we lost one elder! I love my area and my companion so we are
good!!! Well so the 13 families how can I say this, we cycle through them
very fast and I didn't mean to say 13 we have like 7 but we may sit
with 5 new families throughout the week but most of them we drop!! Yes I bought baby powder but I got this cream stuff that helps a lot! (chaffing from the super hot weather and sweat) 5
MONTHS!! its crazy, its going soo fast!!!!(that is how long he has left on his mission) June 15 as far as I know(release date)!!!!
and 3 days(his friend Josh gets home off his mission) !!! holy crap That's sweet that we got got the job for the
farm and that sounds pretty funny about the hypnotist lady!!! Speaking of subbing for primary I did that yesterday! I have not got the letters but I have a new
mailing address that will make things get here a lot faster I will send it
next week.
This week was a kind crazy week!!! So the first
half of the week was normal but everything changed on Thursday. So in
our area is the kings palace where they have all the cultural events and
this week they had an event called Incwala (there is a click where the
c is and it means the first fruits it is a Harvest Festival) and so in
this festival the king takes a shower on top of a dead cow and all the
men from around Swaziland come and bring parts of a tree to make a house
for the king and then they go and dance for him. After all that the king
won't shower for 2 days and so during these two days there are the kings
men who patrol our area making sure no one is using water and men have
to wear traditional clothes and so do the women and if you are not
doing these things they fine you!!! So during this time people will not
answer their door because they think it is the kings men wanting money
so no one wanted to answer their doors for us during these days so work
was a little slow and we got fined 5 times in two day by the kings men
(AKA the water people) and so we come to find out what they do with the
money is they make a huge fire and burn it all!!! All in all we gave
them maybe like 50 cents!!! So our week was very interesting I have some
pictures that I will send next week. Also we did sit with two
really nice families this week!!! So we are excited about that!!! What is the name of the town we are going to in Costa Rica? Yes, I am
still working hard we are doing great!Elder Roberts
