We invited the Gaborone East Zone (16 missionaries) on their preparation day, 18 February 2013, and the Taylors and Gublers to our house for lunch, games, and activities.
It was supposed to start at 1:00 pm. The first set of missionaries came at 1:30 pm; the second group came at 1:45 pm; the next group came at 2:15 pm; and the last group came at 3:00 pm. Unfortunately, they have picked up a bad Botswana habit of being late.
We assigned each companionship to bring a salad, chips, or dessert. We started eating at 1:45 pm even though all the food was not there. We provided the main coarse of baked ham and cheese rolls, a macaroni salad, and punch. The Taylors brought chicken salad. The Gublers brought cookies. By the time the last missionaries came we were through eating and had put all the food away except for some of the cookies, and we were playing games. The latest elders got to eat the salads they brought and cookies because we did not bring the food back out.
We had fun playing Minute-To-Win-It games - shooting cups off a table using rubber bands, blowing cups off the table using the air from balloons, stacking apples five high, sliding a cookie from your forehead to your mouth, keeping balloons in the air, making plastic cup pyramids, tossing wadded papers into a basket.
After the Minute-To-Win-It games the missionaries played tables games until it was time to leave.
