Howzit? Well, another week has flown by! Not really that much has happened Well, once again, that's not true. It has been a pretty cool week. On Friday a woman we've been teaching committed to baptism. She is scheduled for the 30th of May. She has some Word of Wisdom problems that she will hopefully be able to overcome. Another investigator, Ruth, is GOLDEN she hasn't committed to baptism yet because she wants to learn everything before she makes the commitment. But she comes to church and all the activities and loves it. We hope that she'll be baptized on the 30th as well.
Johan and Leslie were married this weekend. It was really cool because they totally let us help with things. I did Leslie's make-up. It was really fun. Then we helped get into her dress and stuff. It was just fun to be involved. They are so cool! I took a bunch of pictures of them and their wedding. I'll send some home when I get them developed.
Hey Mom and Dad, would you do me a huge favor? if you feel comfortable with this, but I find myself telling our investigators your conversion story quite often and I always wish I knew or remembered more about the feelings you experienced or how you knew that you should be baptized etc., would you both write that all down for me and send it to me. I would love to be able to use it to help our investigators. Most of the missionaries here come from long-time Mormon families and investigators aren't able to relate to that. They always want to know if we were born into the church and if our parents were as well. They tend to think if you were born into the church you may have been brain washed.
Well, what's new at home? Anything? What's up with Paragon? Dad are you still busy being a world traveler? How is Julie Hiatt (or whatever her married name is) Is Dee engaged yet? Or has he still not even kissed her? :) There is a girl here that I would love to set Erik up with, but she's leaving on mission this month. She is going to Johannesburg. Her name is Karen (car-in) She's 27 and she's RAD! They always keep the South African missionaries in South Africa because of the Rand to dollar exchange rate. It is just far too expensive to send the foreign.
Anyhow, things are going well here, oh hey! I got on the scale the other day and I actually haven't gained any weight, but I still am fatter. I think all my muscles have turned into flab. My dresses hide me well though. Some of our investigators gave me a Zulu name when I asked them for a translation they said it meant Sister Skinny! hu? Imagine that! I just laughed!
Hey, I had my first Indian Curry this week. A family invited me (or us) over for curry. It was cool . You eat it with your hands. They say that it tastes better with your hands. It was cool. I'll have to make some when I get home.
I love you all very much! I miss you tons as well. I hope that all is great there. I love you!
Michelle :)
