Hello mom and dad,
Sorry I was not able
to email yesterday, the power was off in all of Rode port because some stupid
thief was trying to cut the main cord that was supplying the city with power. While
in the process he got completely fried....o the things people do for money,
so sorry about that. To be honest I was
in a big hurry last week and I just skimmed both emails. That’s crazy that you
can only eat gluten free things, there was a missionary here that had that same
thing. Man it’s hard. But I guess you just have to look on the bright side aye?
I’ve been eating a lot healthier I think then I was back home. I’m eating lots
of fiber things now. I’ve found that it helps me a lot. Like buying whole wheat
and stuff like that. I also eat like bran flakes every morning, it’s kind
of weird but I think it’s worth it. So sorry to hear about that but maybe it’s
a blessing in disguise. You never know I think all things happen for a
reason.
So I talked to sister
masters and she would like sisters Stutz’s email. But to answer those
questions, she will be staying in Utah for 4 weeks she has decided. The
missionary she is seeing stays in West Jordan. I told her about the 2-3 week
thing. I’m not sure she knows where to go yet after Carole’s house. She has
been looking at some guests homes in salt lake next to the temple and she also
said she would like to rent a car. She likes to be independent. Or she might be
staying with that missionary. But I think if we can get Carole’s number they
can also talk about it. So I hope that answered all those questions.
Yes I bought a nice
suit, I like it. President even said he liked it when we were at our zone
leader reports…so I guess the suit is not too crazy. Thank you very much; I
also realized some of the blessings of going home. We were on exchanges and I
was with a missionary named Elder Scanlan. And yo… he like cleaned me out. He
bought my old suit some shoes I have a shirt some shorts a book...all my CD’s...I’m
sure there is more but that’s all I can think of. Anyway he now owes me 700
rand, so that will be some nice extra cash. Plus his companion wants to buy one
of my back packs and a few white shirts and a jacket I have for 250 rand. So
that will leave me with 950 rand. So I think I’ll be able to get some cool
things before I come home.
Also with that family
we want to get married we are having a fast for them on Friday starting at 7:30
pm our time. I don’t know if you guys would like to join. We are just fasting
that they will be able to get married by the end of the month and be able to be
baptized on Sept. 30th, the Sunday before I go home. So hopefully a miracle can
take place. If not I guess it’s just not time for them. But you’re welcome to
join us.
Sounds like things at
home are a bit crazy; it’s fine though I’m excited to help when I get back. I
miss helping with those things. I’m a bit nervous for when I come home
just because of the weather. I think I’m going to be a huge baby this winter. I
think Africa has killed me. I’m so excited to see snow though. That will be
sweet. Thanks for the email I hope I responded to everything this time. I’ll
try and give nelson a call. Hopefully it will work this time. Take care though
and talk to you both soon.
Love, Justin
