Happy Birthday Justin!!

Hey mom and dad,
Thank you again for wishing me a happy birthday.  As I already told dad it was very weird,  I actually forgot it was my birthday until the Morgan’s called to wish me a happy birthday. That is kind of a funny story about the guy who woke up in the morgue!  That would be freaking terrifying though waking up in a cold dark little space.   I would probably wish that I was dead… ha-ha.   And yes I have heard of Black Mambas (a large snake) many times.   I’ve seen about 2 or 3 of them so far on my mission.   Me and my companion tried to run one over with a car one time because,  if you see them they say you need to kill them.   A family in my last branch had one living in their back
yard which was about 7 feet long.   I sent you guys a picture of Frick holding the skin that it shed, so yes I know about them and how dangerous they are.   And yes,  I did finally get my package!!  Thank you very much to everyone!   Everything is very nice.   I was really excited to get it.   I was not really able to get a birthday cake,  but sister Morgan made me cookies.   I don’t think  any of our investigators really knew it was my birthday.  Birthdays are not really too big of a deal here
for anyone.   It’s just kind of like another day… kind of sad, ha-ha it’s a lot different then what I’m used to at home.

 That’s crazy that you are starting school again soon, it seems like you were just telling me that you were so excited for summer to start.  It’s awesome that girls camp is soon,  I’m sure your excited!   I still remember the time that I went with you and dad up to girls camp when I was little and I picked up a char coal that I thought was a rock, then Nicki  had to hold a cup of water for my hand all the way back home…. ha-ha, looking back it’s kind of funny, but not so funny at the time!

 We have been pretty successful with baptisms, we are getting 2 more this Tuesday.   Tsholo, a 21 year old girl who is like one of the most awesome investigators I have had so far!   She is totally into the gospel and reads the Book of Mormon like crazy and has soooooo many questions
every time we go over.   We are planning to baptize the rest of her family in September hopefully.  Then we will be having Kennedy (awesome name right) but it is actually a guy.   He is also very cool,  a little more quite but still knows the church is true.   I don’t know if I told you but are chapel is under renovations right now so we have to meet at the elders chapel in Brodhurst which is making it very hard on us because no one wants to go that far for church.  But Kennedy gets to church every Sunday.   He is very dedicated to the church.
Any way’s… love you all and thanks again for the package! Talk to you guys next week.

 Love, Justin
