Electricity out!!!!!!!!

21 Oct 2011
Our electricity went out 2 days ago just as we were posting our blog, so we finished that posting today.  We had a terrible wind storm, no rain.  Electric lights along the roads actuall bent to the ground, KFC severly damaged and many signs down.  These cement block houses survive very well, the roofs even stayed on.  We felt very fortunate to have found a propane (handigas) stove top.

Elder Blackburn has had a lot of running around to try to get the police report on the accident Elder Katiza had, an attorney has been hired to represent him in court.  It is a serious offense to try to use a cell phone while driving, which he did.  When we go to Johannesburg we always come back with the truck full of Humanitarian supplies, this time we brought Hygiene Kits and New Born Kits.

This baptismal font is very old, was first used in Manzini before that chapel was built, we found it behind the building and brought it to Ezulwini.  Now that Ezulwini has a permanent baptismal font and room it goes to GeGe, duct tape and all.

Elder Blackburn finally got a sign made and put up on the fence of the Ezulwini Chapel.   Tomorrow we go to Pietermaritzburg, we hope the sewing machines are ready for delivery when we come back next Thursday.  Next week is the Mission Presidency Meeting, so we get 2 days in Durban.
