It snowed!! First time since 1981

Hey mom and dad!

 Good to hear from you guys, yes it snowed!! It was pretty sweet!  The last time Africa had snow like that was in 1981, how do I know that? It’s because like every single person was telling us that’s when it snowed last. It was really quite crazy. It was not really like the snow we get back home though and it did not stick for some reason. When it started snowing I made my companion put in Christmas music…it was pretty legit. Almost felt like home...not really.

 Sorry for not sending pictures for so long, I really have not been taking too many but I’ll send the ones that I have. I’ll try to take some in the location. They kind of encourage us not to because they don’t want people to think we are like tourists, plus if they see we have a camera they will probably want to claim that as well. I’m starting to get a bit tired of being white. Man, so many people think we have like thousands and millions of dollars all the time! Everyone is always asking to give them money for bread...yea right. Yesterday some kids we walked by told me to give them 1 rand, which is like nothing anyways, they just say that to see if you will actually give them. So when they asked me I just like snapped and yelled and asked them why they would think I would have money…I just kept saying that to them and they had no idea what to say. It’s just getting a bit annoying but it’s cool. I’ll get over it. Some things I will really miss about Africa but there are also those things that I will not miss at all.

That’s weird that so many people are getting married. I guess that’s just life though. I also missed Kolby’s wedding. I’m sure you guys remember my friend Kolby Sorenson. He got married… not sure if you guys knew.  I got the wedding invitation a couple weeks ago. That’s also really cool that a bunch of the grandkids and going to freedom, ha-ha that’s kind of funny.  I guess that will be kind of nice. It’s good to hear from you guys though thank you mother for reminding me of how many days I have left and when I’m giving my homecoming talk…ha-ha I think you’re trying to kill me for good. Just kidding… its crazy to think that time is coming fairly soon. It still feels like I have another year to go on mission. I feel like that time is never going to come. I think it will finally hit me when I get off the airplane in salt lake. But love you guys a lot, hope you get feeling better dad. Ill pray for you… don’t worry. Love you both! I look forward to hearing from you next week!

 Love, Justin
