Family-
I feel like I just wrote yesterday! This week flew by quickly! I think it was probably because I was sick for part of it. We stayed in one day of the week and also since we can't work in township after dark we come home most nights at about 5:30pm, so the days go quickly. I don't like coming in early, I feel lazy. I think eventually though we will have more branch work to keep us busy.
The work is going well, we have three people scheduled for baptism in May. I also talked to the Sisters in Amanzimtoti last night and one of my favorite investigators is getting baptized on the 27th of April! I am so excited! He is so cool! I'd marry him if he was older and not Zulu! :)
I was proposed to on Friday. It was a tempting offer but I had to decline the invitation. The Zulu men propose as a pick up line. It's kind of funny. This guy was really distraught when I explained that we are missionaries and can't get married. My companion was proposed to 2 times last weekend. One of the Elders was with us and he discouraged the guy by telling him that she costs 20 cows. (They buy their wives with cows, but 11 cows is the most that any man will pay for a wife, so he was pretty upset).
This really has been an uneventful week. I've already run out of things to write about.
Have you heard from or about Diane? Did things go OK with the baby? I knew that she was due at the beginning of March, but I haven't heard anything.
I just want to warn you all again, I'll be getting off the plane FAT! So, I don't want to hear any remarks or see any shocked looks, just plan on having a fat daughter/sister for a while until I can lose it.
I know this is a way short letter, but I am going to end for now. I love you all very much. Take care!
Love,
Michelle :)
