Africa is beginning to feel like home

The time is flying and I am not ready for it to end. It seemed like it took us two years to get ready for this experience and now it is flying by too fast. the other day we were driving in Mukuno and Mckay said that this is just like home. How quickly we forget what home looks like when you are surrounded by people that you love. We have become very comfortable with this way of life here and it does feel like we are home. I am not wanting to go home but know that a portion of our hearts will be left here. We have been very busy with the members in the ward here yesterday we had 134 people at church. It was amazing and we want them to embrace all the blessings that the gospel offers. Tim is amazing and does so much I do not know how he does it. He left this morning to drive 7 hours up to our Stake Presidents Fathers funeral and will drive 7 hours back home and only stay there for 2 hours. Funerals are very important here and everything stops for them. They spend alot of money and time going to a funeral. WE tried last week to find a members sister funeral for 3 hours but finally had to go get the children. We then had to go and visit the family and give them money because we did not make it to the funeral. IT is the culture and so we just smile and try to be sensitive to them. We hope that we can take the wonderful things we have learned home with us. The are a nation more worried about being than doing.
