Easter Celebration

On Monday, 2 April, the senior couples put on an Easter celebration dinner for all of the missionaries in Gaborone and the surrounding areas at the Kimball home which is the mission home for Botswana. There were thirty-four in attendance. The dinner was ham, scalloped potatoes, banana Jello, mixed vegetables, hot cross buns, and cake. Our assignment was to make hot cross buns.

There was s musical program after dinner put on by groups of missionaries with three vocal numbers, one of which was accompanied by a flute and ukulele. They were all very nice. Testimonies were interspersed with the musical numbers. We then watched several short church videos of the life of Christ from the Last Supper to the Resurrection.

All of the young elders and sisters were given missionary bunnies filled with candy that were made by the senior sisters. They can be used as pencil holders after the candy is eaten which probably did not take long. Felt is hard to come by in Botswana so Sister Rands brought felt for the bunnies back from the United States.
