What's Up!

things are still great here in South Africa. things have been interesting yesterday i went to a braai not to be mistaken with a barbecue, and on Friday i went on an exchange with the zone leaders in imanzantoti that was great great people right next to the ocean. i am used to driving from the right side of the car now. as for foods nothing too interesting so far although i was told that for dinner we might be having smiley witch is pig head i wish they named it something else but they named it that because it smiles at you as you eat it. then there is walki talkies which seem just bizarre although when i got there i found out it is chicken head and feet get it walki talki? anyway pictures might be delayed i will try to get them out today but i dont know if it is going to be possible. i am so excited for the eclipse!! i dont think we will really see it down here but i hear that it is crowded down there. well you younger ones back in lander good luck with school. i am grateful that i dont have to worry about that for the next two years. things are great food is good and i cant wait for tomorrow. next Sunday i am excited we have at least 2 more baptisms lined out should be good. 

Life is Good

whats up you guys things are going fabulous here in south Africa i haven't been robbed or stabbed yet so all good so far. yesterday we had a baptism for 5 people it went well although the water heater stopped working so it was cold!!! the person i baptized was simongele and as soon as she came up out of the water she went stiff as a board and walked out she said it was good other than how cold it was. my companion is great he seems to know what he is doing he has 2 transfers after this one... one transfer = 6 weeks so he is in the home stretch. he is getting the jitters. we had a new food the other day called JEQE (sorry for the caps it was the only way it would go in without spell check not liking it)  for some of you who know brother Hart you can ask him how to pronounce it it is essentially steamed bread it is really soft and goes really well with stew. might send recipe later. i also had semp witch is essentially a corn stew with beans it was really good although only after you add salt. things are good people are great. i love and miss all of you and cant wait to here back from you take care. talk to you later.
