2-a flying saucer- there are aliens in SA

3-the SUN going down

4-district meeting

5district lunch at ROMANS PIZZA

6- some of the local members and there friends playing soccer.

the baptisms went great! :) we had three so its was a really nice day

i did one elder leavitt did one and the bishop did the other one, but

thats a great experiences :) glad to hear prayer still works i have

been praying a lot lately so i guess ill just keep being diligent and

wait for the lord to answer in his way in his time. well we have had a

crazy week this week on tuesday we were going to an appointment but we

got lost which was weird....anyways we called to get directions and

they said that they were in an accident so theyd have to come another

time. so we were trying to find our way out of this maze when we saw

the accident they were in!!!  our investigator and his friend had been

riding their bike and got hit by a car, so we pulled over and went

over and tried to do what we could to help untill the ambulances

arrived. then we followed the family to the hospital and called the

bishop and stuff and they gave them a blessing. so that was crazy.

then we saw some pretty disturbing things while we were tracking one

day....just say we didnt have the spirit with us for a while but we

just tried to work hard and forget about it, and on saturday we had 7

appointments and they all canceled or ditched so we tracked all day

and the lord blessed us with 5 new wonderful investigators which was

really cool- hard work and obedience brings blessings :)

the fruit and veggies here are pretty good i ate an AVO. as big as a

pineapple!!!

i have eaten MOpauni worms and chicken feet........worst meal EVER! SO GROSS

and we ate at an Ethiopian restaurant which was really good :)

well life is good here in Africa and we are working hard :) love you

guys some much and hope and pray everything is well till next week

Hello,
ya its crazy time is going by pretty quickly, we have been really busy
this last couple weeks and doing a lot of teaching and service and
building relationships with members and people around so its good. The
baptisms are still up coming and transfers is next weeks so hopefully
ill still be around for them. They are just closing the JO-BURG temple
here because they need to repair the roof.
Thanks for letting me know ill start praying for them as well, and Amanda too.
Actually the weather had been kind of weird for this time of year we
have been having a really hot week for Winter so its nice haha but the
work goes on
Im starting to work on one chirstlike attriubte each month and this
month is Obedience and my gospel study topic for my personal study is
Faith and i read about the brother of Jared this morning and it was
really good.
Well the work continues  and life goes on haha :) love you guys
