Its good to hear from you guys as always. This week has been tuff but it’s still going quite well. Our car is still not done so we just barely went to the GM dealer because he said it would be done today, and of course it was not. I accidentally kinda blew up on him and I am still a little heated. I’m tired of them just walking all over us and giving us empty promises. I feel kinda bad but he could tell I was about ready to explode so he gave us a rental car at no charge, so I guess its kinda better. It’s just very frustrating when you feel like you’re wasting the Lords time because someone is slacking on their job. My feet freaking hurt and I’m extremely tired because we have had to walk all over the place and basically run to appointment on busy highways with cars nearly hitting us....but its fine, because each door I knock my wife gets more attractive! That's what elder Robinson tells me.
But it really has been a good week. We are looking very good with our investigators. We might not have too many baptisms this month due to "car problems" but our month in April should explode. I think we will set a new record in Nelspruit. We have already almost gotten more baptisms then they had in the past year, so it’s pretty cool. We are teaching very cool people as well. There is this man called Frick and he is the most amazing man I have ever met. Sadly, I cannot tell his story over the internet because its kind of a serious matter. But let’s just say he puts Rambo to shame. He is about 60 or so and has an incredible story. I really wish I could tell you but Elder Atkinson said we can’t talk about it on-line. He is the brother of the wife’s husband who got baptized last week, the one who I was talking about, and he has such a strong testimony. We are just waiting on clearance for him to get baptized from the First Presidency. We also have many other good people on date. We are just really trying to focus on teaching people not lessons. We don’t want to baptize less actives, we are really making sure people have a testimony before we baptize them. I’m not baptizing people just to get a number and to look good for the President. I want to baptize people who are truly converted and have that change of heart.
But our church is right behind Richman Poorman store in the same parking lot upstairs. If you look, it’s in like a green gate, and we are on the second floor. There should be a sign that says Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, if the google earth thing is up to date that is. It does not look anything like a church. And that flat you saw is ours, the one with the bikes. It’s like a 2-story flat so the top is ours as well.
That’s a shame about BYU. It’s crazy, people hear have heard of the BYU basketball team. Some guy we were teaching was talking about them. It’s so crazy how popular they are getting. They are probably making history, or at least they were. I’m also really excited to get the package. I’m excited for the books and cd’s, if at all possible could you maybe put some toe nail clippers in there, that would be awesome. I cannot find any here for some reason. And mom that’s cool about your Young Woman. I’m glad that went really well. And if you could put some reeses peanut butter cups, those things are the bomb, that would be cool. I miss them quite a lot. But thanks a lot for everything, I’m always excited for the emails. Take care, love you both.
Love, Justin
