This is the area around our house. Springtime is really here right now, 80 degrees today. Love this weather. The purple trees are called jacaranda and the blossoms last about a month.
This morning Sister Blackburn got up for a 5K walk to support Breast Cancer Awareness, very rewarding knowing this is world wide and even in a very small country like Swaziland, 900 people came for the walk, paid their $10.00 and had an enjoyable morning. 900 people is 1% of the population of this Kingdom. We walked along one of the rivers, it was wonderful being outside and just walking. I even crossed the finish line and was not the last one. Ann Smith, her friend Nelly, Zack Smith and Sister Blackburn.
Elder Blackburn had bicycles to tend to, got to keep those Elders rolling. They really do work very hard. I was thinking last week after the Zone Leaders had finished their meeting and presentations, that no one, not even the Prophet could have done a better job and when they go home they will be just youth again, until they get married. All that talent put on hold!! President Von Stetten comes to Swaziland tonight, he is doing interviews with all the Elders and he will come to dinner with us tomorrow.
Good for you and the others that took part in the walk.
