November 21st

Today we emailed you guys for a bit and then we went to FUNLAND!!!! it was so cool! for 115 Rand we got a bunch of tokens for an arcade, Free Bowling, Bumper cars, and a free Lunch:))) it was great!!!! I had a lot of fun... but I'm a terrible bowler! hahaha 

After Funland we went to the mall for elder Nielsen so we could get him a white shirt... he got a fricken expensive shirt! it was like 300 rand!!!! but then I went to the store next door and got a rubber football! I'm really excited for it! I've wanted to play catch sooo bad these last few weeks!!!

Then we came back to the apartment to get changed and showered, cause it was SUPER hot and muggy! For dinner and family home evening we went to the Reises again:) guess what we ate.......... I'll give you a hint.. IT WAS DELICIOUS! We ate OSTRICH spaghetti!!!!!! Instead of beef in their sauce they mixed it with ostrich! It was soooo good:)))

But I'm all sweaty again and they shut off the water to our street so they can conserve water in South Africa.. I guess they do it all over the place but just by sections of each town.. and  I guess tonight is our night:/ I wish they'd give us a heads up though! luckily i had just done laundry so my clothes all got washed, so I put on a wet t-shirt and I'm just gonna sleep in it as my shower for the night... its so hot and humid here..

sleep tight, 

merry Christmas,

We went to Funland and we all got black light pens.. ya know the ones with the invisible ink... well they work really well so we drew all over the place and you can't see ANYTHINGGG!!!!!! its so cool:))) and at night when we turn all the lights off its like a little party house! hahaha

We've been teaching lots of people and talking to a lot of new members lately:) it's been a lot of fun! and it's really cool:) its not so much BLOW THEIR MINDS with a huge powerful lesson, it's more testifying of what I know.. so thats super nice:) 

today were about to leave for ZTM, Zone training meeting, so im excited to see all the missionaries in our zone:)

Well, the missionaries in our zone are really cool! Elder Adams was there and he served here in Toti as well.

But last night was really fun, we actually went to the Reises house for Thanksgiving so that was really nice to have... they obviously don't celebrate it in Africa...

Friday November 28th

Crap I lost my thing in my closet and didn't write in it the last few days... sorry about that!

Sunday November 27th

Max's mullet is looking SIIIIICCCCKKK!!!

and I'm loving it over here! this week wasn't too hot but today is the start of a heat wave....... wish me luck! haha... and I wish I could send you some more pictures but something happened and all of them got deleted? I need to log onto the computer that I used last time and see if I can save them? But I haven't been taking a lot because its annoying, everytime I take a picture I have to wait like 60 seconds or more.. and nobody wants to stand for a picture that long... so I have to just hope I get a good one the first try:/ 

I can look at cameras around here and check back with you next week? 

and I heard the ducks lost:( oh well i guess it just shows who are the true duck fans:/ but on a dropped game winning pass is really sad:(

I love you! I will try and find my pictures and take more:) 

This Thursday for the Worldwide Day of Service our Goal is to Teach FORTY LESSONS IN ONE DAY!!!!

I'm excited to try this but I know its gonna be EXHAUSTING!!

and we've only had 1 baptism but were hoping for 6 by Christmas! wish us luck:)
