Miss Missy's

Daily Africa.

So, some of the girls and I sat down to think up of some AWESOME things you’ll experience if or when you live in Africa….

*Being proposed to at least once a day by a Swazi man

*While making lunch, a family of monkey’s pass by on your upper porch

*A missionary’s bed time is usually 8pm, with wake up being 5:30 am

*No phone call is longer than 30 sec

*The over whelming joy you experience when you actually find a can or sour cream in the local Spar

*Amazing headlines you read while driving to the Cup office every morning

*Going to a carepoint and at least one child will always touch your hair and be in complete Awe

*Everyday is the Kingdom’s National Pee-On-The-Side-Of-The-Road-Day!

*Hazard lights are a whole new meaning

*It’s common to walk out of Spar with the security guy wearing full SWAT gear and an AK-47 chillen in his right hand

*You see hip high Swazi man thigh in authentic attire

*When you feel obligated to know and greet every white person you pass

*A white girl driving a Kombie with “Bling-Bling” written on the back door is national news

*Your entire lawn is cut by a weed wacker

*Driving into on coming traffic is not unusual

*Sunday lunch out at a restaurant takes 4 hours to get….I will never complain when I get back to the states, haha.

*KFC is a treat *To be honored with the only drive-through in Swaziland

*You get excited when its raining and the internet is STILL working ☺

*Poka-Dot shirts and Plaid pants are fashionable

*The 3rd season of “The Office” is the highlight of your week!

*The phrase, “There is starving kids in Africa” becomes more relevant when you know them all by name

*The highest ticket you can get by the Police is 60R= $6 US.. and American’s get the “American Discount” of 70R

*“I date missionaries for their money” is a great joke for a missionary girl, ha. And Jessy wants to make a shirt for it.

*It takes at least 4 Keys to get into your house…Skeleton Keys just make the process more awesome…

*Playing pranks on people is no longer looked at upon as being childish

*..Everything is the same but different

Nobuhle Dlamini is my Swazi name ☺

*The pepper spray brigade is unleashed when Jessy and I walk out of the Cup Office alone at night to lock up and run to our car….P.S. Don’t tell our parents

Taking a jog requires a can of pepper spray and a walking buddy any hour of the day

“Eish” and “How” become a part of your vocab for shocked describing words

Waiting for cows to cross the highway and roads is a daily occurrence

Geographically, Swaziland is known to missionaries by carepoint location to find places

TIA!
