Hello mom
and dad,
The key
board I’m typing on sucks really bad so this is going to be a short email. Thanks for the pictures you guys sent they
were awesome. Being a zone leader is not really too much different than what I
was doing before, just besides your over more people I guess. We go on exchanges a lot; it’s nice because I
get to see lots of different areas. Are zone is really spread out; it takes
about 2 hours to get to some of the elders. We have 14 elders in our zone, so it’s
not too big of a zone. We are teaching a lot of good people. The only problem
is you get ditched a lot here in township. People are always forgetting our appointment
which is pretty annoying. Yesterday we had 7 appointments and 2 kept. We were
pretty bumped. I wish people would realize that we have lives as well and that
when they ditch it leaves a nice whole in our day. But we are teaching some
great people, the next investigators we are planning on baptizing in August is
a girl named Anthia, she has actually been coming to church for about 17
years...long time. Missionaries have just thought that she was a member, but
she came to us and told us she is now ready to be baptized. She is like 23 I
think, she is very smart, so we have been teaching her all the lessons and
commandments. She is crazy though, she is a colored, I realize that might sound
bad but when you talk about colored people here that means a white person and a
black person had a baby, so they are called colored. She is our main one this
month, there is also another girl who is 15 who is also really cool. Her date
is in October though so it’s after I leave...weird. Man it feels like the Lord
my whole mission wants me to teach woman. I don’t know why, but it just seems
like some of the most powerful people I have taught on my mission have been
woman. I guess he just knows I’m good with them J
Ha-ha. Today was cool as well… we went
to the lion park and I got to pet a cheetah, that was sweet. We also found a place to place golf for 30 rand,
which is like basically free for clubs and everything. And guess what? I won! It
was pretty cool I went there thinking I would play awful but I actually did
alright. I got a 48 on 9 holes, and it was fun so I think we are going to try
and go every week. I can challenge dad
to a game when I get back so watch out! I’m
sorry, I feel moms pain as I’m typing on this retarded key board… Its super
annoying so I’m going to have to say good bye before I lose my mind. Love you
guys!
