Eric's Birthday! After work tonight we went to the Clawson's for dinner. It was just us the Clawson's and the miners. Sister Miner made Hawaiian Haystacks for supper and I made a pan of cinnamon brownies for dessert. Sister Clawson added vanilla ice cream. Oh that was good. Ice cream is hard to find here. With it just being the 6 of us, we had a very nice evening. Elder Madu did not want to join us. He leaves for Nigeria tomorrow morning. I think he was just whipped. Anyway, we had a pleasant evening. During our dinner, President Clawson was talking about tribal issues within the church. He was saying that sometimes when a Nigerian or Ghanaian is called to a position, the Sierra Leonians will oppose the decision. Or if a Sierra Leonian is called to a position the Nigerians and Ghanaians will oppose the decision. OHH! That was the reason Elder Madu said so powerfully "there are no ITES!" After dinner, we had a family home evening and talked about wolves in sheep clothing. It was good.
