Learning about Electricity

 The Elders called and needed new light bulbs, they have been complaining about light bulbs for months.  We bought a couple of boxes and took them to the Mbabane Elders, Elder Blackburn put one in and they said "see, something is wrong with the electricity, they won't work."  Elder Blackburn walked over, FLIPPED THE SWITCH and there was light.  Elder Mbatini just laughed and laughed, he thought that was so funny.
So then we went to Conference at the Mbabane Chapel and they could't get the DVD player to work; some one went down the street to get another one, meantime Elder Blackburn plugged in a cord and still would not play and then Sister Blackburn said, "Push play". there was Conference at the push of a Button.  Elder Mbatani was almost in hysterics over this one.  Sometimes we forget that some of these young men come from homes without electricity or even furniture of any kind.  So we have had 2 days of Conference, have not seen 100% of Conference in years.  It was worth the time spent, I think we will go to the Church when we get home instead of being so comfortable at home we just fall asleep.
