Elder and Sister Zweifel, Elder and Sister Blackburn
Elder and Sister Zweifel accompanied us to Nhlangano for church today, we had Branch Conference.  It was a really good Conference, District President Simelane spoke about self reliance and showed  great concern for the future of the Saints in Swaziland, he is deeply troubled about the future of the economy when the Emalengeni is devalued, a complete collapse of the economy is expected, he told the Saints to consult Elder and Sister Blackburn on food storage, how to do it and how to manage it.  He also expressed a conviction that the Lord has sent us here at this time to help them with this problem.

Got up early and took the Zweifels to Hlane Big Game Park to look at the animals, they got some great pictures and so did we.  The hippos are the weirdest looking of the animals, they hardly ever come out of the water because the sun will burn their skin.  We were fortunate to get these pictures.  We went to Summerfield Restaurant for dinner, they wanted to treat us to a nice dinner before going back to Durban.  We both couples, had a really good time.

Today is shopping day for the Zweifels, we will take them to all the tourist shops so they can purchase souvenirs for their family and friends. Sister Blackburn had an appointment with Stella Lukhele at the NGO to discuss their responsibility on the Sewing project for the women of Swaziland, She made a commitment to go over everything and send an email to Elder and Sister Nielsen confirming their commitment.   It was a long day shopping, when we got back we made muffins and hot cocoa for dinner, watched the movie Passage to Zarahemla then collapsed into bed.

  1. Wish we had known about your blog a year ago. It is wonderful to read about all the people we got to know in Swaziland and how things are growing. We do miss Summerfields...great food and even better atmosphere. I think some couples come to Swaziland just to go there for dinner.
