September 3, 2012


Hey mom and dad,

Thanks for the pictures, it’s always nice getting a few. I’m not sure I understand your question about Sister Masters wither you’re asking, how long is she staying with us or how long she is staying in Utah. With us she was only planning like 2-3 nights I think. Then she said she is going to find a place to stay in salt lake somewhere for the rest of her time. I think she is planning on staying in Utah for about a month or two. So not sure if that helps. 

Whatever works with you guys about a new suit? But I think it would be a lot cheaper if I bought one here. I went and looked at some prices last week and for a pretty nice one it was about 2,300 rand which I think is like 270 dollars.....I think and that was quite a nice suit. I’m not actually sure what the price ranges are back home.  Then there were others that were okay for about 100-200 dollars as well. Then there is like dirt cheap ones that you can buy at the china malls for like 100-200 rand. When you convert the dollar to the rand you can end up buying really nice things that would be much more expensive in the states. Like lots of missionaries even buy diamonds here and go back home and sell them for like double from what they bought them as. (Don’t worry though; I’m not planning on buying diamonds) So I don’t know it’s up to you guys. It might be cheaper to buy something here then when I come home. But it does not really matter to me I could also just keep the suit I have. Just let me know. 

I’m sorry to hear mom that you were released. That's a surprise I know how much you loved the young women's. I guess our ways are not always the Lords ways. I think the young women are going to miss you a lot. Actually I’m positive they will miss you. Thanks for the advice you gave dad. To be honest it is becoming a bit harder to concentrate. I’m still working and still being obedient but I catch my mind sometimes thinking about home. It’s hard, especially when missionaries and members keep reminding me that I am almost finished. That’s actually something that’s been on my mind a lot. It’s weird it still feels like I’m never really coming home but I know it’s going to happen. I feel a lot like I did before I came on my mission. I’m just a little confused and unsure of what’s ahead of me. So thanks I needed that. I will hopefully get a few more bap before I leave. We have been teaching this father led family errrr almost a father led family. The problem is that they are not married so they cannot be bap until we get them married because they are living together. Besides that they are awesome. Their names are Sam and Clara, Sam is from Zimbabwe and Clara is from Lesotho, I think I spelled that wrong. But their great, they have been coming to church for months now and are so ready to be bap. So we are hoping to plan a wedding for them at church so they can finally be bap. But love you guy’s a lot thanks for the emails talk to you soon!

Love, Justin
