On my way to my first assignment

HEY! WOW! so much has happened and i dont think i can remember to

write it all down, but we went to the temple again on tuesday and we

met a man who was sitting on the grounds outside and called us over

and told us his story and asked us for a blessing,i was able to

pronounce that blessing but i didnt really know what to say or

anything cause i didnt know him, but in the temple i felt like it was

alright so that was cool, WOW im growing in leaps and bounds! the

spirit is so strong here im learning and devloping a stronger

testimony everyday, its about 6 am monday morning and we are all

packed up waiting for the mission president to come pick us up! its

exciting and im nervouse! hope all will go well, heading out into the

feild! on saturday we got to go tracking with the elders here and we

had a lot of success i think haha, but anyways about easter, when we

all got here we were told that we had all been drafted into the chior!

hahaha imagine that 30 young men and me in a chior lol well on easter

we sung in the local ward across the street ( since everything has

gates the MTC a chaple and a semiary/YSA building are all in the same

compound hahah) anyways we sung a beuatiful song called gethsemene,

and i sung my first solo last night hahahaha but its amazing how 30

young men from 7 different countires from around the world have been

albe to come together and put everything aside and untie for one

cause! we have become a family here i love all these guys so much and

it was hard watching the elders leave for the airport this morning, (

we just have to go across the street haha ) i dont think i wanna see

another airplane for about two years ;) hahahahah but no its really

amazing and i cant wait to get started and share this mesaage of our

saviors love to my brothers and sisters in africa! I know that we have

I met with some Elders in Chicago they were from Salt Lake and we flew to London together and explored the town on our day layover, that was interesting saw all that sights and the Olympic Count down clock, i would have taken pictures of everything but this camera is not working anymore its stupid, ill have to get a new one when i get out of the MTC. We met two Elders from arizona, one from Canada- french speaking, and a sister from SLC and one from (Sallyhall) in the Uk (i love how he says it hahaha so british) anyways we have an Elder from SLC. who the church is making a film about or something so they are filming us all the time its kinda weird haha but anyways look for a video coming out in a couple years ill be in it ;) hahahah but anyways when we got to Africa, we were waiting for luggage and mine never came so i spent an hour or so tyring to fill out paper work and trying to figure it out. anyways hopefully it comes today! haha well we met all the African Elders at the Airport and all drove to the MTC WOW! what an experience driving throuhg the city haha and FLYING OVER WAS CRAZY THE CITY WHEN ON FOREVER!!!! hahaha well my companion is Elder Bolema he is from Queenstown SouthAfrica. and he is going to Zimbobway. The african Elders are so humble and sincer and have such great faith and testimonies, everyone here does. I feel so inadiqute and unprepared i dont feel like i know anything. its so hard for me because i felt like i had a good base and testimony, very difficult, but i am trying to learn and pay attenion. the food is....ok not very tasty but eatable haha.
