Went grocery shopping this morning, early, so the store would not be crowded. Couldn't find cranberries. We had bought some dried ones in South Africa. Am trying to reconstitute them and make sauce. They sure don't look very appetizing. We went to Manzini for the World Wide Training on the new Handbook of Instructions; the DVD was hooked up to a laptop and was not successful, had to bring the television out of the strong room and hook it up, then no problems. After the meeting, Elder Blackburn was talking with President Shongwe and Sister Jill and President Shongwe asked Sister Jill "where is your calendar?" she replied "you have the calendar", he said "I want a calendar of the Relief Society events" she replied "What events, we don't do anything". They have never calendared ANYTHING. A whole new concept for everyone. I don't think there will be a calendar!!! Relief Society needs so much training here, they even think that they can only have 1 teacher and she is the "Relief Society Teacher"!! Sister Blackburn told the new Relief Society President in Ezulwini, after her Teacher was sustained that "now you need 2 more teachers" and she was so shocked that she needed more. We had over 50 at the Training Meeting, these leaders are so concerned and want to do everything right. It will be fun to see how they implement the new concepts.

We went over to the new Church to see how the remode is progressing and they had the old roof off and were putting new tin on so Sister Blackburn telephone the Elders and asked them to take some of the old tin and one of the old doors over to Sister Jill's house, she had said her roof leaked. The Elders were very good to come right away and do that. They will probably schedule a service day and go put the tin on for her.
