Mwiriwe! Or I guess for you it's Mwaramutse..
We had another baptism yesterday! There's a guy named Francis who was baptized just before I got here. It was his wife Esther. We started teaching her my first day here. She doesn't know English so Francis has been our translator and has been helping her a lot. The Claudine that was baptized last week is engaged to Francis and Esther's son who is in France. Delphine is friends with a few of the young women in my branch and she's been coming to church for several months. We started to teach her shortly after I got here and she was really excited to finally be baptized. It was a really neat experience.
Last week on Palm Sunday everyone in town was carrying around palm leaves.  This week our zone got together and had a passover feast. It was really cool to eat and discuss all the symbolism.
Last night we went over to the Palmers for our Fast Sunday dinner. She makes some good food. And we got to watch a few of the priesthood session talks. I think we'll be able to watch the rest of conference with our branch towards the end of the month. I really liked what I heard though.
Alright. Love ya'll lots!
