Here are the pictures I promised to send last week. All my friends i left behind in Marimba and Mufakose Wards.

The Muchekwa family who taught me how to make sadza and served me my first plate of sadza. Also, Tatenda, one of the most powerful guys I baptized. Love this family so much.

Joe, the coolest guy ever. and then Nokutenda, one of our recent converts who is the funniest girl ever. We rapped and hit dem folks together when I said bye to them. You can see the ctr rings i gave them too hahaha

The Nyamugara family who served me Madora for the first time. Whenever we had nothing to do we would go see them and they are one of my favorite families. Before the picture they served madora and rice! hahaha it was so nice.

Kudakwashe (our newly called ward mission leader) and Douglas. Love these guys. They are so chill and they made me laugh so much hahaha Douglas talks like Bane from Batman hahaha

This is Stanley, easily my best friend. hahaa he was in the bishopric and when he would work with us we would rap together and he likes the exact same music i used to listen too. We were pals and he gave me his favortie tie when I said bye to him. So i left one of my favorites with my last comp to give to him.

Love these people. They were all taken the same day so thats why I'm wearing the same thing in each picture hahaha
