This past week was pretty cool. We have some really
cool investigators. Everyone wants to be baptized. We have this
group of a bunch of 12 year old kids that we teach every Saturday. They
come to church every week and we just basically do administration work to get
them baptized as fast as we can it's kind of funny. We have this lady
that is really cool. Her husband is out in the military for 6 months and
he's a pastor in their church, so we didn't rush her into being taught.
But basically we gave her a Book of Mormon and she reads it every day and her
husband called her and told her not to read it and that it's bad and she should
stay away from it but she said basically "I love this book and it speaks
the truth" It was pretty cool. She probably won't be baptized
for a while but she came to conference and she seems like she really has a seed
in her heart and it's growing in her.
Me and Elder Greengrass were so stoked for Conference.
It was like Christmas we were so excited. And it was way awesome. I
also emailed this to dad but I just couldn't get over how cool Elder
Christopherson's talk was. It was awesome. What was your favorite
talk?
If there is one thing I've learned on mission it's the
importance of studying the gospel. I really truly believe that in order
to be as converted as the Lord wants you to be you must read the scriptures
every single day and really delve into them.
Do you guys not think it's cool that I'm learning
Xhosa? Man I think it's so cool how come you haven't said anything about
it :( haha :)
To Dad:
Yeah there's a cool lake at the bottom of the valley but we
haven't been down there yet. The whole area is like that really green
wooded hills it's really beautiful especially at sunset which is like 5
pm. My companion is from England. I really didn't say that?
Yeah he is from Bournemoth he's really cool.
Yeah we watched conference on Saturday and Sunday besides
Sunday afternoon like I said. Me and Elder Greengrass were so excited it
was like Christmas. We watched it at the chapel with the ward. I
was obsessed with Elder Christophersons talk. I was freaking out
about it all weekend haha it was kind of funny but it was a way good
talk. President Nelson's talk was also amazing I thought it was very good
as well. Those were my favorite. Yeah Cape Town is a nice modern
city it's really cool it's definitely first world. East London is also
definitely first world. Cape Town is really beautiful though but I
actually like Mdantsane better.
Yeah we have played just a little bit of soccer here.
The elders here and the people here are actually really good so they haven't
thought I was anything too amazing. They all thought I was really good
though. We played soccer with the ward last friday but they were super
good. It was a lot of fun though.
Me and my companion work very hard. He says I'm tiring
him out although I don't think it's really that hard because we drive
everywhere so it's not like we're exhausted at the end of the day. Yes my
companion has to bug me to get me up often but lately I've been getting my self
up kind of a couple of times so there's hope for me maybe. We'll see that
would be cool.

This is kind of what a wedding looks like.
Pretty much every person in a 10 mile radius just flocks to all weddings and
then they all just run around in the street and basically parade down the road
singing African cultural songs in Xhosa and dancing. It's pretty insane
but it's cool. apparently the same thing happens at funerals too which is
kind of weird.
