And so did Sister Adams! And when the song says the floods came up, I'm certain they were talking about Kauma. Walking away from a member's house this morning, I slipped in some mud and did a faceplant! The mud here gets really really slippery, so you have to be really careful about where you step.
In other news, the B family, as well as S, are now full members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I think I understand what Ammon meant when he was so full of joy that his strength was exhausted. And these people looked so happy about finally having the precious gift of the Holy Ghost. I just felt so happy for them, and I don't think anything got me down that day!
On Thursday we sent off Elder M, who is now enjoying the comforts of South Africa and the MTC in Joberg. That night at Devotional we taught about Missionary Work, and everyone enjoyed.
The Elders that work in Kauma (S and M) are complete comedians when they talk about their day, and we listen to them all the way home (seeing as I'm the one driving--didn't I mention that?). I don't think I could pinpoint one exact moment when those boys made us laugh, but if I can think of a moment I'll be sure to write it down so I can tell you.
The Christmas program here is still in the works, and the other day we heard the people in Branch Council talking very loudly at one another about something in Chichewa. We've also been listening to the little Christmas music we have, and some of the songs don't quite feel right if I'm not watching snow fall. The favorite (between those of us from North America) is 'I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas'. But now, it seems we'll be having a wet Christmas. I don't think there's a good enough pair of shoes to withstand the mud here!
Make sure there's a good balance between work and play! My companion and I are finding that balance. Sometimes there's just nonsense, and sometimes there's just work, but we're both working on figuring out what is good for us, and I'm certain you can too!
Once again my dear ones, I bid you adieu. As we sing quite frequently, "The time is far spent, there is little remaining!". I want you to think about, however, the meaning for the wonderous things that we do this month. The Savior's birth. What does it mean to you?
I love you all!
Sister Adams
