How to make a missionary laugh:
I was talking to a few of my Swazi friends the other day and asking them what their love languages were. They had no idea what I was talking about so I explained mine was physical touch and quality time and asked them what they thought theirs was. Then Musa, one of the Swazi guys I work with, walks up and I say “Hey Musa, what’s your love language?” and Musa replies “SiSwati” (the language spoken in Swaziland)
How to make a missionary cry:
A few days ago I was in my office and Gary, my spiritual father here, says “Vanilla Bean Frappucino” and I got so excited because I thought he had found a place in Swaziland where you could buy one and then i found out he was just talking about one. However, i could already taste it in my mouth, and I said “don’t say things like that unless you can provide what you are talking about, you’ll make me cry”. So Noah, his 5 year old son starts yelling “Vanilla Bean Frappucino, Vanilla Bean Frappucino, Vanilla bean Frappucino”.
Ok, you have to give us some help here. For those of us who don’t speak the language. What is Siswait?
Hey Becca – you laugh, you cry, you live in Swaziland – what a life! Hang in there and one of these days you will indeed get a Vanilla Bean Frap there in Swaziland. It will revolutionize the whole country.
ha ha ha, both stories made me laugh 🙂
