Welcome back to Botswana!

Hey dad,
I know i was really excited to get the package apparently it was in customs for like a month and i actually had to pay like 100 pula to get it out but its all good I'm just glad i got it. Thanks for all the things too i like the guitar books and doct of salvation its a good book i got i chance to read it over the kinda awful weekend. And ya we are hoping to be a stake in June I'm almost positive it will happen the church is exploding here with people getting like 8-10 baptisms each month its crazy, we should could about 3-4 this month a boy thuso and 3 girls maybe, I'm probably going to miss them tho. and elder Palmer is still my companion for a few more days depending on if i get kicked out again.
But ya this week has not been good i feel like i am going to pass out just typing right now i am completely dead, when i got back into bots me and my companion went out on the bikes and i was riding i started to kinda like dose off and i heard like my companion yelling at me and when i looked in front of me there was like a car heading right towards me so i nearly got hit it kinda freaked me out but anyways so we left bots last week stayed there for 3 days and we all split up i went to a place called Soweto its also known as soccer city its where the world cup was and its super pretty its actually something called a township and townships are usually not very nice but i guess Soweto is like the nicest one, its very green with lots of hills and things, bots its just really flat and dusty with lots of rocks but ya it was kinda nice then on Saturday we drove back up to the boarder knowing that we would probably be denied and we basically where they only gave us 3 days and so the president decided for us to stay up here and hopefully they can work something out but its just kinda annoying i have been living out of a suit case for the past week not really knowing whats going on and i actually still could even be leaving today so its just been somewhat stressful i was also chopping up a tree this morning for are the people who live next to us so that probably just adding on the tiredness....but anyways i know it sounds like I'm just complaining but I'm just tired of all this and i just want a area that i know I'm going to stay in for at least a transfer.
But the worms are actually really good i like them and i did not have a chance to eat the cow yet because of all the things that have been happening, Ha ha that is really sick i have never heard that story before of you and i don't really know if i ever want to hear it again. That's good that byu is doing so well i miss watching sports and going to games and things but i can do all that when i get back i guess. But sorry its good to hear from you love you dad.
Love, Justin
Dear mother.
Hey mom its good to hear from you and its been cool with my companion he always makes pretty good food but I'm probably going to be leaving him today or tomorrow. IT was really nice to get my package tho everything was inside and i like it all alot i actually found my new favorite church song its called i heard him come i like it alot so i have been trying to memorize it on the guitar.
That's good to hear you went to the temple i wish i could go but for 1 I'm in bots and 2 its under cleaning until Feb 15th or something but i like the tips you gave ill be sure to try them next time i go, i have always felt like the temple was kinda boring to go to to be honest before my mission but it really just depends on how you look at it, something i have found is that are attitude has alot to do with when we go places also if there is like a boring speaker or something whenever some speaker get up that i know is probably not the best i try to like thing about what there trying to say and it actually helps me alot pay attention..i don't if that makes sense but i think you know i have a very hard time paying attention to things if i am not interested in them but going in with a good attitude helps alot. Sounds kinda gay but its very true you can tell yourself your not going to like a meeting and you will not like it, a negative attitude well bring negative results.
And i actually forgot my pictures today because I'm out of it but ill bring them next time, the thing is is that it takes a very long time for the pictures to load so i know you guys were not really for this idea but i could send alot of pictures if that's all i did i can still read your emails but if you want me to send some pictures I'm not going to have much time to write. so just something to think about if you want me to do that. but its good to hear from you mom love ya lots
Love, Justin
