Riddle: How does a 70 Turn 50?

 On Saturday October 18th, Elder Khumbulani Mdletshe, an Area Seventy 70 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints celebrated his Fiftieth 50 Birthday. One week later, on Saturday October 25th, his wife hosted a backyard casual gathering, so we thought!

We showed up for what we thought might be wors (hot dogs) on the Braai (grill) but no! Instead it looked like a setting for an elaborate wedding dinner. There was a band setting up and a table set for about 40 people. We thought it was for someone else, but quickly realized we were part of the guest list. Glad we showed up and were ready to eat and be entertained.

Sister Mdeltshe, Foote' was the MC and welcomed all of us there.  She is telling a few stories about her husband.

The Mdletsche Family

Food was amazing! They went all out, no details spared!

Highlight of the party, was the family reprisal of "I Love Rock and Roll"

Thanks for inviting us. We loved meeting your family and friends and to see all the love and support you have.  You are a great man and a great leader for the church. Good luck with your 50th year goals...especially running a marathon under 4 hours. We believe you can do it!
