I agree with Daniel. It sucks that shops open so
early. Pretty soon shops will just open on Thanksgiving and they'll call
it Black Thursday. I get Black Thursdays every Thursday so that would be
lame. They actually had Black Friday here for the first time this year and
it was pretty sweet. A couple of the members here bought some sweet TVs
and stuff. They don't do Thanksgiving though so that sucks. I
celebrated by making French Toast for myself in the morning and then eating a
bowl of cereal too, which was pretty much a feast.
As far as Elder Greengrass goes. He is a very cool
guy. I never read his emails but he spends a long time on them and he
definitely writes more information than I do. I'm sure my next companion
won't have quite so much information in his emails. Elder Greengrass was trained by
Elder Wilson who had been on mission about a year when he trained Elder
Greengrass. Usually you train after you've been through 3 or 4
companions. Very occasionally a person will train right after they've
been trained but it doesn't happen very often. People do train a lot in Mdantsane
yes because it is the most fruitful area of the vineyard so you are right about
that for sure.
You asked about the primary program a few weeks ago.
Sunday was the primary program. You would have died. All the kids
in the primary, which is about 50, wore white dresses or white shirts and all
the girls had yellow bows in their hair, and it was very cute. Also most
of the kids in the primary don't really understand or speak English so they
mostly just imitate syllables and so it was super cute. They all know
just enough to say a basic testimony. Like half the kids said this exact
line for their testimony "I know the church, it's true. I know Thomas
S Monson. Amen" hahaha but I loved it it was very nice.
We're starting to get fed a lot. Usually every night
we get fed once or twice a night and we eat lots of vegetables.
Next week we have a sweet baptism so I'll tell you about
those people then. Also I will be getting a new companion next week.
Also I'll try and get some nice pictures to send home.
Love you Momma
To Dad:
Elder Greengrass will be trasnferred on December 7.
This is our last full week together. We will always be friends though.
That's sweet about going to the temple and doing family
history and stuff. I really miss that so I'm glad you're making use of
having a temple so close. The people here do lots of fundraisers
throughout the year and save up and sacrifice a lot just so they can go to the
temple once a year. It's really cool, but it makes me realize how lucky
we are in Utah.
I'll try and step up my game as far as pictures go.
What kind of things do you want pictures of? People we see? The
area? What kind of stuff. Also what kind of information do you want
me to write about?
Love you Dad
