Yes, I got your chicken soup recipe before I left but I’ve made up my own the other day and it is killer! called it yhomi soup. Mom when i come home I’ll cook and clean for you. (if you pay meJ) Man you’ll be blown away by my cooking skills!

I found out that I’m staying another transfer and I’m dso excited for that! I thought i was leaving. I had a the best experience this week that i don’t think i will ever forget! Every Monday we meet with our bishop and kinda have a correlation with him. He gave us some names to visit so we did. He directed us to this one house that we should go visit and the address said 15 circle rd but he thought it was 14. Now it would make sense if it was 13 because it’s right next to the house but we didn’t know. We went to 15 and turns out the family moved out like 6 months earlier so we checked it off our list but then we felt like we should go to 14. We knocked on the door and a lady comes to the door who is maybe 30 and we ask if the one family lives here,,,, lol as an icebreaker haha....  She said she doesn’t know them and then we just introduce ourselves and start to leave something behind with her. But she invited us in to pray with her which was kinda odd. Then she explained how she was just praying to God and asking Him why so many bad things were happening in her life. She told us that after she was done praying she was going to kill herself but then she looked up she saw us coming to her house. We were able to comfort her and set time for another visit. Tender mercy! Oh how the Lord guides us where we need to go as we follow the Spirit!

Oh dad I’m glad you are now finding out about this draught. It’s pretty serious. The elders there can only shower for 1 min, have limited water during the day, can only flush twice a day. That kinda thing. hahaha glad I’m not in cape town so it does not affect me but they are seriously going to run out of water in like 100 days. The dams are dry. i don’t know what’s going to happen but maybe the missionaries are going to leave or something like that soo pretty big deal! And yes, we lost some Madagascar missionaries. They leave this coming Wednesday.
