Elder Willey and Elder Brown at Chicken Dust
We had to take them to Mbabane and stopped there for
lunch on the way back to Manzini.
Chicken grilled with a special sauce from Mozambique,
with pap (made with mealie meal ~ a kind of cornmeal) and salad
There are chicken dust places all over on the side of the road, but this
is everyone's favorite because of the special seasonings on the chicken.
Pap
The staple food in every Swazi's diet
Birthday cupcakes to Elder Willey and to Elder Nogueira
for their May birthdays... (The other little bag is from SIs. Boyer
and Sister Wagner in the office in Joburg. It has a little package of
OREOS and a lollipop inside.)
More different pretty flowers along the road in Mbabane
These yellow African daisies were ALL along the side of the road, leaving Ezulwini
and driving to Mbabane today! I have never seen them blooming there before.
This huge poinsettia bush/tree is across from the Mbabane Elders' flat.
We are sad that the Mesa Temple is closing on May 19th for 2 years
for major remodeling and renovations.
We JUST saw photos this morning on Mormon Newsroom
of the artist's renderings of what it will look like afterwards!

I've missed your blog! We were gone 7 weeks (and drove 7,000 miles toCA and back to PA. I couldn't find your blog on my phone, so I was excited to get home and read all your recent posts. I'm amazed at all the wonderful, creative (and yummy!) things you do for the Elders, the branches, people you teach, etc. You're amazing!! And you must've taken all your favorite recipes with you! ( Can I have your Aunt Lucille's caramel corn recipe? Yum!) Anyway, I also love all the gorgeous flowers and scenery- so awesome! Who would've thought Swaziland would be so beautiful?! Happy Mother's Day- you're the perfect mother substitute to all those cute missionaries! :)
