Having a birthday while on a mission is an interesting experience. People try to make it special, but it's not easy since we really don't each other very well and it's just a regular work day. Sister Erickson bought sweet rolls and then had to leave. So LaNice enjoyed the goodies with the missionaries. They didn't mind sharing.
While we were shopping, Alan picked out a beautiful bouquet of peach colored roses and we took them home for our table. They were beautiful. The green feather and bow and card say Happy Independence Day, because Zambia's Independence Day is October 24.
In honor of Independence day, Arcades Mall set up a market and we stopped. It was really fun. We bought things we had been looking for for the flat and for the grandkids. Then LaNice found a booth that had African print dresses. She tried one on and the lady showed us how to make a turbin head gear. Somehow it just didn't look on her like it looks on the beautiful African women. We bought the dress (about $10) and it was fun to take home and wear later. Overall, it was a pretty fun day!
