Hahahahaha!!! I've gotten a white board marker!!! Well, two, but whatever. Anyway, I've finally been able to use the whiteboard. It didn't take me long to fill it chock full of info - with included space for doodles of course. I'm including a photo - I hope I remember to send them this time.
Well, today was an...empty...day...*sigh*. We got up super early to go to immigration so that a cop would be able to stop us without arresting E.Bamongo, and of course E.Tsangu and I by extension. He was just getting finger-printed so that the mission could finally submit the paperwork for his Alien Card. It'll probably take him a month to get it. Regardless, we hit up a Tuskeys (like Walmart) right after that. That's where I got my whiteboard markers. They were pretty expensive 85 Bob each! Geh! I have to absorb that cost too, bleh! Oh well, I might just take these markers with me when I go, just so I can get my money's worth.
Anyway, we got to teach a few lessons. One was with a pair of Investigators: David and Wycliffe. I can potentially see Wycliffe progressing (he needs to start coming to church), but something needs to change if David is gonna progress. I'm not sure what. Fun.
We visited a member named Docila after that. I've mentioned her before (I think). We just talked to her today about the temple. It low-key felt like giving fire. "Start preparing for the temple now" kinda thing. It went all right, but we'll see if it goes anywhere.
I also became the trash can tonight. E.Bamongo let me down: he's usually our trash can, but I had to help him out this time. It makes no sense to me since I have the smallest stomach and appetite of pretty much every missionary I've met (certainly of the ones I've shared a meal with) and I should never play the role of the trash can, but I did. I'm also dying right now if you're curious - too much food.

Well, today was a nice day. We were bounced twice, but it's no biggie. The fact that we were able to get so much else done made it worth it.
First up: we got to meet with a friend of B. Anthony's: Jack. We taught him for the first time a few days ago and he was willing to meet with us again. He even brought his friend with him to the lesson.
We also met with B. Brian. He's someone who could be powerful and could start progressing, he just needs to come to church. He came once, but neither E.Kanda or I saw him that time he came. He hasn't come since then, and he told us that he won't be coming tomorrow because he needs to attend "his church." We low-key gave him fire. It was really gentle fire. We just shared the parable of the Pearl of Great Price. I've discovered that I really like using this one to teach. Kinda drives home the point in a blunt way. Really fun for me.
Our last appointment of the day was with the two kids: Steve and Vivian. The entire lesson was in Swahili, so I zoned out. It was funny seeing these two kids asking us to come by everyday this week because they want the lessons to end as soon as possible. I was able to catch that much from all the Swahili. I found it funny. Still do.

Too. Much. Waiting... I was able to finish: 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, and almost finished 2 Chronicles today. We had to wait for a bunch of meetings and stuff to finish after church ended. We taught B.Joab (powerful, this guy), then we just sat around, waiting. I just read the Bible to kill time. After the (long) waiting period ended we went to visit Steve and Vivian with Bradley in tow.
I still have no idea what was taught, I just sat there looking pretty while E.Tsangu and Bradley (the new first counselor of EQ) taught the lesson.
We headed over to S.Linda's after that, we just read the Book of Mormon with her and her husband.
After that we headed over to S.Niece's place where E.Tsangu helped her start filling out her "My Family" pamphlet. We had to rush out to make home safe after that.
