HOLA!!

hey everyone, 

past couple weeks have been hectic with moving and
trying to learn a new area and new people but its been good this first
2 weeks here has flown by!!! well i shall start from the beginning
first night we got to the flat the toilet was broken so we spend
almost all night trying to fix all the leaks and stuff didnt go to bed
till LATE haha, then i started to get acquainted with township.....:)
crazy place but i love it! so many people we are always busy talking
to people or helping someone, lots of work to do here. had Presidents
interviews on Tuesday so that was nice.
Well it is officially the RAINY SEASON! hahaha its been raining all
week on and off so its been fun running around, climbing over piles of
garbage and avoiding raging rivers of sewage and stinky water. some
how managing to stay remotely dry :)
but we have a good ward just got a new bishopric dont know if i
mentioned this but there are 95 less active families in the ward so
LOTS OF WORK TO DO HERE IN HOSPITAL VIEW! but we have 7 people on date
for the end of this month so its exciting and they are all pretty
solid! one family Able and Lerato a super sweet family we put them on
date for NOV. 18 i think but they work all the time so haven't been
able to come to church, so we are hoping and praying that they will be
able to start coming and get work off.
SHOW! General Conference was POWERFUL! we finally got to watch it
yesterday and saturday some super sweet advice especially for the
people here. sad though we only had an average of about 10-15 people
at each session :/ The attitude here is crazy for example - some
people dont come to church on sundays or even all winter long because
"its cold outside" just strange to me......and so its taking some
getting used to attitude wise - culture wise i fit right in :) hahaha
but interesting fact i have now been complemented on my ears 3 times
since being here! haha apparently in Limpopo the Suoto tribe having
big/prominent ears means you are wise and respected so thats cool :)
haha
Conference was really inspiring though so many great insights i would
encourage you all to take President Monson's invitation and re-read
all the talks so that we can get further inspiration and revelation
for our lives!
i really miss you all and love you lots! :) thank you so much for all
you have done and are doing for me :)
LOTS OF LOVE :)
