I will be praying and fasting for BYU to WIN this week!

Mom and Dad,
How is it, it’s great to hear from you guys again. Ha, ya my hair was pretty short then that’s how short I usually cut it when I cut my hair but it grows really fast still. That is crazy that eggs are white...blows my mind, and Elder Rose is not my new companion he is actually the greeny in the flat, the one that we played the joke on. But I actually just did get a new companion today. We got a call late a couple of days ago by the AP's telling us that Elder Richeson is going to be transferred to our area. We actually just went and picked him up today from Francis Town, which is also in bots. It is a very long drive so I am pretty exhausted. But he is a really cool guy, I actually knew him when I was in South Africa. He is from Utah as well, near Salt Lake and has been on his mission for about 8 months. So we will be in a 3-some until my companion gets transferred next Tuesday. And Winnie is the other girl that I was talking about and she is doing really well and is being baptized this Tuesday with another kid named Ikenna.

That is really weird that I did not know the Warr’s, are you sure it’s not Watts? Because there was a couple called the Watts, and they were really cool. If they were transferred in June that means that I would have been at the transfer meeting and I don’t remember seeing them...strange.

That stinks about BYU. When you say they are playing Utah do you mean Utah state or Utah? I guess I’ll find out, I shall be doing much fasting and praying for them to win :)

This week has been cool though, it was funny we actually had some like Chinese missionary people come to our door this week and it was one of the most awkward things. It was like this old lady and her husband and I went to the door and right when she saw me she just said, "Oh, the Church of Christ!" Then I stood there awkwardly, and I could not understand one word which was coming out of her mouth. All I could understand was that she was talking about "God the mother," then my companion came to the door because he likes bashing with people and when she saw him she just took off and left. It was really weird. I was trying to listen to her but it was a challenge. We also went back to my companions girl friend’s house..just kidding, and she said that she was starving because she does not know how to cook. So we made her fish and my companion grabbed a pan and told me to feel like how heavy it was, so I put my hand under it (not knowing that it had actually been heating up) and burnt my hand extremely bad. So I have had my hands wrapped for some time this week but they are good now.

Something also kinda funny happened this week. So we like have these 2 dogs that live at the house right next to us, and all the Elders in the flat besides me like taunt them and stuff and just try to make them mad, and it bothers me. I always tell them not to do those things..so you would think that these dogs would be on my side, right?....wrong. The other day we were getting back to the flat on our bikes and they were just chilling by the gate like always. But as I came up they like jumped up and just charged at me and were like acting like they were going to kill me. So I grabbed by bike and just started yelling VOETSEK! VOETSEK! at them (it means like get lost in Afrikaans) while stomping my bike at them and man they like wanted my freaking blood I swear. And so now it’s like a joke because I’m the only one that does not bug them and I was the only one they wanted to kill....racist dogs.

I’m glad to hear everything is good though. I love getting your guys pictures, and to answer moms question, I have not really gotten any letters for a long time. Nikki sent me a letter about a month or so ago, but other than that nothing really. Everyone says that once you reach about a year everyone just stops writing (ha-ha) so I guess its kinda true. But it’s starting to get scorching hot here again. Oh, and there is no Spring in Bots, it just goes to extremely cold to extremely hot, there is no in-between, sadly. Oh, and to mention about the next package there are these books called, ‘The Book Of Mormon Made Easy’, I think, and it comes in like 3 different sections. Like 1 Nephi through Mosiah, then like the next book goes from Mosiah to 3 Nephi, kinda like that and it goes through the book of Mormon verse by verse and they are just sweet books. So I don’t know if you can find those but they are very cool. That’s really all I can think of for now though. Your guys packages are always awesome no matter what is in them. But I better go so love you guys a lot, hear from you next week!
