 Sunday always brings new adventures.  Sacrament went fairly well.  The first speaker just read a complete talk, which took more time than he was supposed to, so the other ones had to cut theirs short.  The Young Women sang a song approved by President, however, they put in a few “hallelujahs” themselves.  He said that won’t happen again, they will have to just sing from the Hymn book.  He didn’t tell them, just me.  Elder Scicluna also spoke and was very direct in telling them they needed to do the basics to be blessed.  Hopefully they listened and took it to heart!  They really need to. Sister Barris spoke before Elder Scicluna and spoke on repentance.  She mentioned that when she wanted to apologize to her husband and he wouldn’t listen, she would put a white hankie on the end of a stick and just waved it through the door and he would tell her she could apologize.  It was quite funny.  This is Elder Sciclunas last Sunday here.  He just found out he is going to be a zone leader in the Sommerset West area, Cape Town South zone.  We weren’t surprised he would be made a zone leader.  He is a great teacher and leader and task oriented.  

Had the Elders for dinner tonight, our usual Sunday dinner.  I made Elder Sciclunas favorite lasagna and chocolate cupcakes.
