Hello...It's Me...
GUYS. I have LITERALLY NO IDEA what is happening this transfer hahah. I seriously cannot handle all the CRAZY THINGS that have gone on these past 5 weeks! I could write a whole novel about this transfer alone. I feel so bad because you guys haven't even been
able to hear about it, but let me just fill you in on at least this week.
Monday: My last MLC dinner! It was super good! Sister Kayembe and I were running around like chickens with our heads cut off (I GOT TO SEE THAT THIS WEEK SOS) in the afternoon trying to get everything done that we wanted to get done. Let's just say that
I hope you guys aren't disappointed that I am not bringing home souvenirs for anyone because #notime #sorry #Istillloveyouall #missiontoservetheLord After dinner, we talked with the sisters until like 2 in the morning or something like that haha. Sister Diing
was SO excited to see me, and I was excited to see her, too!
Tuesday: MLC. It was super good, just full of fire. We recently have received smartphones in our mission for family history work, so we were receiving training about that. Everyone was sad that it was my last MLC. They asked me to say the closing prayer,
and it was so hard. I felt like I was leaving my last prayer for my family! I didn't cry tho because these days I am strong hahaha.
Wednesday: OH MY HECK. We had exchanges with my FAV PERSON SISTER JEPPSON. She is a star and I am obsessed with her lol. We just had the best day ever, but on our way home with Sister Kayembe and Sister Nelson, THERE WAS A CHANGE OF EVENTS. So the road
we take home every night is called R5. There was an accident in the round about, and instead of everyone cooperating well so they could move the car, people just CLOGGED UP THE ROAD like nonsense and so we were literally stuck for a solid 40 minutes in traffic
not moving AT ALL. So we just have no idea what is going on, but we continue sitting and talking. A police officer came up to my window when we had been there for an hour and suggested that we go take Acturus Road, which is the only other way home. We flip
a u-turn in the middle of this giant mess and make our way back to Mabvuku. We get to Acturus Road...AND THAT ROAD WAS CLOSED TOO. UGH. So everyone who saw that R5 was clogged up tried to take Acturus, so there we were stuck in traffic again. Another hour
was spent trying to move just like 100 feet. I was frustrated out of my mind haha, but we were all just laughing and making jokes with everyone on the road. Sister Jeppson really had to use the bathroom, and I tried to convince her to go in the bush, but she is super
scared of snakes and didn't want to run that risk. I knew by the third hour that we were just not going to get home, so I decided we were just going to sleep at the sisters house in Mabvuku. Another set of sisters live there. PROBLEM IS, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW
TO GET THERE FROM WHERE WE WERE. To make the story oh so much funnier and nonsense. all of the sudden, two DRUNK white guys come up to our car and ask where we are going. There are white people in Zim for sure, but not in Mabvuku. I was hecka confused to see
them there haha. They were asking us where we were trying to go, and they were trying to get to the same place as them. They told us to follow them, so I just did because I felt like the Spirit was telling me to. As we are following them, they stopped to talk
to other people and I felt like we should just go forward without them. We left and continued on. I stopped to ask a few people for directions to get back to Mabvuku, and they directed me the right way. All of the sudden, we can just hear singing behind our
car. THE DRUNK GUYS FOLLOWED US AND WERE BOTH HANGING OUT THE WINDOWS OF THEIR CAR SINGING. Even the guy that was driving was sitting on the window haha crazy guy. So they are just casually following us thinking that we are going to Highlands. Jokes on them.
They are singing at the top of their lungs Shona music haha we were just laughing. So we got to the place where we were going and we told them we weren't going to Highlands anymore. They were like, "Okay guys! Have a great night!" and just sped off singing
again! So it is like 10, we finally get to the other sisters house. THEY HAVE NO POWER. Or extra beds. So we laid down two tiny mattresses, and slept all four of us together on the floor. In the morning we got up and went home without a problem haha. WHAT
EVEN IS MISSION THESE DAYS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.
Thursday: After dropping the sisters off in the morning, we had to go to a Dentist for Sister Kayembe. She had to get a root canal pakaipa. She was pretty much out for the rest of the day after that, so I just updated the area book and cleaned our house while
she slept for a little bit haha
Friday: Normal day for the most part haha
Saturday: Normal day just so many lessons
Sunday: Church and lessons! My Bishop's wife just had a baby girl and they LITERALLY NAMED HER AFTER ME.
Monday: Mission tour with Elder Hamilton! I will tell you about it next week gotta go! I will email for sure one last time!
Love, Sister Lewis
