These past two weeks have been very long - the area I'm in, Chang'ombe, is really quiet, and it's a new area, so there aren't a lot of members. I think there are about 35 members or so in the branch where I served, and last Sunday there were even fewer because of the rain.
Here's something a little funny: since coming out on my mission I have watched the movie: Teen Titans Go! to the Movies three times. The third time I noticed something fascinating about how the villain worked: he worked exactly how Satan does! He has the good guys do all the work and he uses our desires against us! There's a song sequence early in the movie where the title character sings a song and the chorus is: "My movie, my movie, my superhero movie! It's all about me, it's all about me!" and later in the film, the villain throws the exact same words back at him: "it's your movie, your movie, your superhero move! It's all about you, it's all about you!" I just had a moment where I went: whoah! That's exactly how Satan works!
Here's another way Satan works: The Daladalas. (Just pair up the letters to say it. The Daladala is a bus. I have included a picture of one with the emails I uploaded, and they are...re-watch Harry Potter three. Remember the scene with the Knight Bus. Now, imagine that, but you're standing, have no personal space, the entire thing is dirty, and has the worst suspension on earth, and that tells you more or less what they are like. Oh, they're also really, really hot. The B.O. is also unbearable.
I don't have anything to share about the work this week. All of our appointments cancelled, but that doesn't bother me a bit. One of them a woman named Veronica has started to face adversity from her family, which is kinda weird because her brother is a convert, and he's been helping us teach her.
