Sawbona!
Kunjane! Hey look at me! I'm learning Zulu! This is one of my new goals. It is a very difficult language. I'm going to buy some good books and there are always people who are willing to help me. I have a couple of families who teach me a new word each time we meet with them. I hope to be able to speak a good amount by the time I come home. Now writing it is a completely different story! It is written completely different than it is spoken!
I got my package this week! THANKS! The Reeses were the best, but the tape was even better. The tape didn't sound like you though, but it was still great to hear from everyone! I'm in the process of making another one for you, it will probably take a while though because I am just taking it very slow.
Mom, I think you are over reacting about Sis. Merkley. I'm sorry, I shouldn't write things about my companions. I live with them 24-7 so I see the bad as well as the good, but sometimes I just feel the need to vent the bad. And then that's all you hear and by the time you read about it, it is no longer even a concern. I guess I've just had a hard time adjusting to having a companion or something. Well, anyhow, Sis Merklay didn't invite Satan into our companionship. She just prayed that Father in Heaven would defer the trials away from our investigators. It's not like we had a sayonce (or however that is spelled! :))
I know I just said that I was not going to write about my companions, but Sis. Tolman is SO funny! She can be quite clumsy. It makes me laugh so hard! We have l unchwith members every Sunday. There is one family the Bricknell's and they feed missionaries every week and the deal is that we don't help cook or set up, but we do the dishes. We were there 3 weeks ago and Sis. Tolman dropped some ice cream bowls and broke them. She was really embarrassed and then yesterday we were there again doing the dishes and there were 3 glasses sitting on a counter. She swung her arm around for some reason and swiped all of them onto the floor. Broke them all! I was laughing so hard! She felt so bad. The family is never going to let her live that one down!
We've had some really cool teaching experiences this week. I 'm not going to go into any great detail here because I told you all about it on the tape I'm making. But the greatest family is going to commit to baptism this week (I pray!) They are so rad! They've been investigating for 1 1/2 years. You'll maybe get to meet them, they are talking about visiting Utah in a while. They are RAD!
I don't think I have been as excited about missionary work as I have been this week. We are just teaching some great people.
Well, I've got to end here just now, but I want you all to know how much I love you! I am so grateful for your love and encouragement. I'm grateful for a family that have influenced me in such great ways. The more I meet new people and live with companions the more grateful I am for the way that i have been raised. Even down to knowing how to cook and clean (yes, my companions are amazed at how much I know about cooking!! Imagine that!) They are also amazed at how clean I am. I guess I'm just a totally different person when I am living on my own! :)
Thanks for everything! I love you! - and Mom, don't worry, you don't need to send me packages. I realize it is expensive.
