"That cat just scratched my dog. Learn to fight dang it!"

This quote comes from one of our members.  They have a kitten and a puppy.  The Kitten's name is Max and the Puppy's  name is Kumkane (King). I Thought it was a pretty powerful name. I think you can figure out the rest of the story from that.  It killed me, I was laughing for quite a few minutes.  Anywho on to other stories.

Story #1: Wow mama, you know a lot of people.

This was a comment I made to a new investigator.  The reason we went there was to visit a Recent convert and his family.  When we went there the mama knew our fellowshipper and his family and she knew so many other people in our church.  Honestly I was shocked.  But it makes it all the easier for her to come into the ward.  When she comes to church. It will be awesome! 

Story #2:  Wow I feel like a real Xhosa now.

So on saturday I was kind of bored.  You know mos, when you are bored you get hungry.  So I saw all the ingredients I would need to make Mgqusho.  I decided I would make it.  So on Saturday I started soaking the samp and beans.  Then started cooking them Sunday morning before church so it would be done when we got home.  It wasn't but that was okay.  We had a gap in our appointments that we could check on it again.  That time it was done, so I added in all the other stuff.  I have to say for my first ever attempt at making Mgqusho without the help of a Xhosa man.  It was really amazing. It was a great feeling a sense of accomplishment.  

Happy Fathers day ! Hopefully you all find a sense of accomplishment this week.

Dad,

    I really could not ask for a better father. Honestly the things you taught me by your words, but more through your example have really helped me in life.  Especially here on my mission. I know for sure you will continue to be my #1 role model, especially when I have a family of my own. So Thank you Dad!
