Baking, Baking, and More Baking!

Nothing more frustrating than having baptisms lined up and then 

you can't go through with them because of water issues!!!

Hopefully things will work out this week! 

Also, Caleb titled his email "Baking, baking, and more baking" and then

he didn't mention what he baked!!! I guess he figured the title covered it. 

I honestly can't remember what he told 

me he baked, but I do remember what he wants to bake but isn't able to!

Pumpkin roll!!! Chris bakes pumpkin roll each Christmas and Caleb really wants to,

but alas, it's summer in South Africa so no pumpkins. Apparently, they don't 

have canned pumpkin where he's at. He goes to Durban next week to celebrate with his mission,

so he's hoping he can maybe find some there! 

Transfers happen on Monday and he thinks he will probably be transferred, although

he'd like to stay where he's at. That kind of surprised me because he sometimes gets

bored on p-day (hence all the baking). He loves the people and the elders 

he's had the opportunity 

to serve with in his district. We'll see what next week brings!

Here is his email from this week along with a single picture he took: 

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well! And hopefully having a great festive season. I have to admit its hard to feel the Christmas spirit when its 88° and i can't listen to Christmas music or hang lights in our boarding. My one place of Christmas is a store that we get our groceries from, its got the lights, the trees, the music, feels just like home

This week we had planned for some of our friends to be baptized, but unfortunately the faucet used to fill the font just stopped working so they will have to wait for another day. 

We also went to a Christmas party today put on by our Missionary couples here in eswatini! They are super awesome and made Navajo tacos for us which was wonderful because taco seasoning doesn't exist here. Sister Burrell (pronounced burr- ell not burl) had brought taco seasoning from the US which makes me wish that I had done that 

Not much else to report on. I hope we all can remember the reason for the Christmas season and what truly makes it special.

Love,
