They are closing down our area :(

Hey Mom and Dad
Man it’s been a bit crazy lately. They are actually closing down our area, in Ransburg and Sandton. I’m being made a zone leader now for my last 3 months, and my companion is actually going home due to some family things back home. Maybe he will stop by and say hello to you guys. So yeah, we are both leaving the area and now the zone leaders here will take over our area and it will no longer be a working area. They will only teach people on a referral base and the people we are currently seeing. So it’s been a bit of a stressful weekend, just realizing all of these things. Later today I’m going with one of the assistants to bring Elder Cushing to the airport. Everything is happening pretty fast.

It sounds like everything is going well back home though. And I have already gotten you guys some things from Africa. So you don’t need to worry mom. I’ve been collecting things my whole mission for you guys, so you will have a few things from Africa when I get back. They’re not big but they’re from Africa. I also got some little things for the grandkids. The reason I had to use the card is because I had to buy some new pants. I was at the mission home and the President came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and very politely said, “Elder Brey, do you have any pants that are not faded?” The pants that I was wearing at the time were like green from the sun. Ha-ha so hence I had to go buy some new pants, now I have 2 pairs. Hopefully they should last the rest of my mission. But I guess I will be going to my last area on Tuesday, kind of a strange feeling. I will be able to update you guys next week on my area and companion and everything. It’s crazy to hear about all the fires going on, hopefully it settles down soon. It’s actually been very warm here as well, at least for winter. It’s supposed to be much colder than it has been. But I think it’s a blessing. It was way too cold last winter. But love you guys a lot talk to you next week.

 Love, Justin
