(or something like that)
Which means that whatever title I wanted to give this week was not inspired, otherwise I would have remembered.
On Saturday, as us missionaries were waiting for General Conference to begin, we began to share humorous scriptures among ourselves, of which I will only share a few:
1 Nephi 11:10,15--the desire of a leaving Elder
Jeremiah 4:19-20--hey, pepto bismal?
3 Nephi 3:7--the mistaken reading assignment; guess who didn't get baptized?
As you can see, missionaries have the ability to find humor in all things. I mean, how many times in the scriptures does it say "be of good cheer"? We are simply following God's commandments!
But I will say this, that GenCon was amazing! I was impressed with how many talks about family and obedience there were; it seemed all of them were either on one or the other. I certainly found a few things that I hope will help me in the near and far future.
I will start by answering your three questions. What language do they speak in Kitwe? 1/ here they speak Bemba, which is similar to Chichewa, but not. For example, here the word ayi means right, whereas in Lilongwe ayi means no. What is your apartment like? 2/ Our flat is actually really nice. We've got the bigger room, and it even has a bathroom attached and its own a/c unit! Are you close to the H's? (the senior couple in Kitwe) 3/ As for the H's, we're right next door, which is really nice if we need something from them.

Well, my friends, at this point I am curious. Have you come across anything amusing whilst perusing the scriptures? If so, I would love to hear about it!
But seriously, studying the scriptures can really enlighten your mind and enhance your soul. Don't skip it for anything, or else you'll feel a loss of what to do when focus really matters!
