Well Africa is good , somethings about the culture, Birthdays and Weddings and Funerals are HUGE, people love Grave stones you should see the cemeteries here! Lots of rituals and traditions surrounding it too, like a lady we were teaching was gonna be baptized but then he husband died and she has to go into 6 months of mourning and cant have any visitors or its disrespectful to the spirit of her diseased husband shows she doesnt care about him. Churches - They have services all during the week and every church has different uniforms, like the ZCC church had a conference this last weekend and took over the town you literally couldn't go anywhere so we had to leave the area. just because we couldnt work. The attitude is get things for nothing FREE FREE FREE haha and lazy. BUT TELL RUGER HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR ME!  i tried there e-mail but it doesnt work. 

Easter II

Hey, yeah i just feel more tired in the mornings hahaha :) Yeah just

to know what you did and your experiences are nice, like that DVD we

got for Chirstmas it was amazing to watch and see all those things!

Its true there is a lot of stuff here and im so greatful for what i

was taught how to love and except people for who they are, its just

really sad when people here cant do that, because of cultarl or

history or whatever the reason. If they only knew how great this

gosple is even thought peopel listen to us they dont really comprhend!

Yeah Satan has such a strong hold on people here and it takes so much

work to make just a little progress! but thats what we are here for. I

had an incident with a member of my district last week so that was

kinda sad but i think we got everything worked out so hope everything

is good now. Time is going faster and i dont know how to keep up there

is so much work to be done and there is no way we can do it on our

own! But we keep praying and keep trying. Thanks for all you do and

your love and support

Easter

Easter was long and hot, talked with so many drunk people that i can

tell what kind of beer people are drinkin just by smelling, they have

very distinct smells and it stinks! Inkonomozi - traditional african

beer, black lable and castel lager.....yup that pretty much sums up my

easter in township. Glad unlce Andy is doing better though :) thats

good to hear. Hope all the new babies are doing well and healthy :)

yeah thats the problem everyday working hard, sometimes you just get

tired.....this is hard work, not phyiscally well i guess im just used

to it, but Emotional, and spiritually its draning and there is no time

to relax and meditate and gather your self. But  i guess thats how it

goes. Well the work goes on and time is going faster!
