Family,
Well I don't know what to talk about. NOT!! I know what I want to talk about. But, first off, I hope you are praying that the internet does not go out because it is about to start raining and rain does not do much justice for facilities in Africa. Life is going great. I am getting over malaria. It is not giving me a hard time any more. My chest hurts a little when I run and exercise but it has been less than a week of having it so I am recovering very fast. That is a bonus. It is because I am so blessed tough. African sickness doesn't keep me down long.
My week went alright. Sunday was really busy. We were at the church for what seemed all day, doing paperwork and what not. That was nice cause the office has a\c, you will see I took a picture haha. There were some good talks given at church. One guy stuttered really bad. I felt bad but he did a good job. Another guy, president Danuka, did a good job as well. He talked on proud haha. Well that's what he kept saying, proud. He really meant to say pride but eh, what the heck, this is Africa. Anything goes. After church was good. We had a baptism. It was good except that he got dunked like 5 times. I was a witness trying to explain to the guy to take it easy. He was like throwing him in the water. I have baptized like 25 people personally and have marked over 30 but I have never had to dunk someone twice. So saweet. Hope I can do that my whole mission. Then we did paperwork. Man, with lots of people entering the church comes lots of paperwork and lots of work to keep them active. So after that we got asked to come give a lady a blessing. So we went all the way there and she had left for the hospital. It was ok though. We got food out of the deal so that was alright. After that, a few lessons and a really good talk with this member about families. He is having a family problem. He was working one day and came back home to find his 3 year old son with marks all over his back cause someone beat him. Well, needless to say he was furious and he left with his son. Everyone is mad at him and said that his son deserved it. So he came to me for advice. I shared with him Alma 43:47. I said if you learn one thing from me, it is that there is nothing more important than your family. Absolutely nothing. Anyway, so the day was good. Then we went home and waited the long awaited transfer news and hallelujah, praise all things that are holy. I got a new companion and to top it off, he is from America!!!! He is so tight. I am still the junior companion but no one in my mtc group has progressed yet. His name is Elder Merrill. I believe he is from Colorado or something idk. I could be totally wrong on that. It is so cool.
Don't worry about me on malaria. There was one day I thought I was going to die but I got over it. I can see that you guys love me cause you are concerned. I am taking care of myself. I am doing good.
You don't have questions this week to ask? Crazy that Riss is going to move. Good luck to her and no marriage proposals, haha. I need to say happy birthday BROTHER BRIAN!! I love you and I decided since I can't afford to send your presents that I would keep them and you can have them in thought. Hope all is well. I love you guys. I love Riss and thank you for the letters and the emails.
Love ya
