Happy 4th of July!


Hey mom and dad, 

I think my favorite part of your guy’s letters is when mom asked me if they celebrate the 4th of July in Africa...hahah I died. Sorry but it was pretty funny, no they do not celebrate American independence here in South Africa, I don't know why…it’s very strange, I mean we celebrate all of their national holidays why would they not celebrate ours. It’s quite rude actually. I’ll have to write Jacob Zuma a letter. Anyway the week was good. Our stats are a bit low but were still flying. We have a good time together. I got to play tennis on Saturday with a member’s grand kid, Tyran, who is not a member. That was super fun; I don’t think I have played for over 3 years or more, so that was really nice. He pretty much killed me in both sets but I pulled 5 games for myself. I’m in pain though; I was working muscles I have not worked for a long time. My back and forearms kill. 

Also at church I was able to see another family I was seeing in Nelspruit! Man I’m getting lucky. Her name is Sister Jennifer, and her 2 daughters came, they were just visiting some family in Joburg, and went to the temple, and she just randomly decided to come to the Sandton ward, she had no idea I was serving here, it was so cool we talked for a long time. I sent a picture of her along time ago, where we are like standing on some steps and there is like a really pretty sunset in the background and she is holding a picture of her family. She is awesome.  

I hope all goes well this week with you everyone though. Tell grandma I say hello. I’ve been praying for her. That’s too bad about all the fires as well. It never really seems like we have had that many problems with fires in the past. But love you guys and take care. Talk to you all next week.
