All the missionaries from Zambia came to Lusaka for a Christmas zone conference and Christmas party. We were so busy with office work and getting the food for dinner that we missed most of the zone conference. The part we heard was very good. Then we ate pizza and Hungry Lion chicken and had salads and drinks and cookies and cakes for dessert. The food was most excellent.
Then we had a white elephant gift exchange. Some of the gifts were pretty creative. Everyone had a great time, I think!
A huge pair of old shorts with lots of coins in the pockets!
A watermelon! We had it for breakfast the next morning! A funny monkey hat!
About a dozen left over missionary ties! Several chetenges! This was a popular gift. Elder
and Sister Bodily and Pres. and Sister Erickson!
Some of our wonderful Great Zambia Lusaka missionaries! It rained really hard most of the day, so the umbrella probably came in handy
.Bread in the shape of crocodiles!
After the conference was over, we were assigned to take the Matero Elders back to their flat. We tried two different roads before we were able to get through the traffic. We were told that there had been so much rain that the roads were flooded and people were unable to get through. We went first down Katina Mulilo which was blocked with traffic so we turned around and went on Kasangula Road. It too was blocked so we turned around yet again and went down Great East. There is a roundabout which put us onto Great North and there had been an accident there where a car had jumped the curb and crashed in the middle of the roundabout. We made it through, but by the time we got Elder Shabalala and Elder Abisai home and we got home, it was 11:30! What a day!
