Yebo Sawubona!
It was so awesome to talk to ya. Sorry about the number problem, good thing i sent that txt. I didn't think i had a accent but i could see how it could change being companions with all South Africans. The sleep over was a blast, for the white elephant we did i just bought candy and a lil toy car thingy, and what i got was a tech deck(the lil skateboards) that was pretty kool. I loved the giftys, thank you so much, i had a lot of fun opening a gift every night.
I wasn't able to print enough pics for grandma but maybe you could go over there and just show her and everyone the pics, i think they would like to seem em. I don't know how long the pics will take to get there due to the holidays and stuff but hopefully they get there in a few weeks.
Yes Avery that is way awesome! :) Do you like the quiet? Or do you miss the loadness? Im glad you got snow, its just not Christmas without snow.
Ya we are only over one branch and the time isn't going to change because we meet at the Nseleni Library.
Its so awesome to hear that everything is going ok, i hope that you enjoi as well the holiday season. I miss you and love you so much. Take care

Dear Ma and Baba
Things are going pretty good. We have been getting a lot of rain as well. We don't have a Christmas tree, i did have one at my last area, but here we don't :( its ok though. Christmas isn't as big here, like no body puts up christmas lights only a few people.
I did get the package, thank you so much, its been fun opening the girfts everynight. :)
Ok so how the phone call thing will work is you will call me. I need you to call me on Christmas eve at noon (12) utah time so it will be 8pm here or so. That will be the best time because we are having a lil party at the zone leaders house. the number you will use to call me is 027-083-281-5517. If the family can be there that will be great if not thats ok. I think the limit is 1 hour.
Well every week we do a lot of the same things, like the morning schedual and then just eat then go to Nseleni which is about a 15 minute drive away. We have a pretty nice teaching pool here, but we do a lot of trackting as well. On P-days we email, shop, and clean. We play a lot of soccer, we might play some basketball cuz we have some kool americans in this zone but we will see. The house does have a washer, but no dryer, we have to hang our clothes.
So yesturday i had to give a talk, and it went really well, i had to speak for the majority of the time because some one didn't show up who was supposed to speak. But it was ok, i talked about Christmas, and my focus was on Jesus Christ and how we need to slow down during the holiday season and through out life because when we get to busy and move too fast we forget about the important things. At night we had a nice Dinner at the Nuzmans (the new couples they are from north Ogden) it was a way nice dinner so that was kool. Also i am sending the pictures either today or tomorrow so you will get that soon.
Things here in Richards Bay are going good. I have nothing new and exciting to share, but soon i will! :)
I love you and miss yo so much, tell everyone hi for me.

Sawubona!

I am doing awesome! The weather here so far has been nice, but i've been told once Christmas is over its gets supper hot! The place i serve in is called Nseleni, its another small township. I live in Richards Bay, the city is kinda small, we live next to a big big mall so that is way sweet! :) We live in a house, and a plus is that are room has AC! Its another 4 man boarding so there is me and my comp Elder Hall then there is Elder Mwta and Elder Castleberry. To get around we do have a car, its just the normal mission car which is�the white chevy aveo. The car is in the shop today cuz the brakes are not�good. We will get it tonight though which is good. �
I didn't get the package yet, we are going to Durban Tomorrow for a meeting that is on Wednesday and maybe it will be there.
About the call, its easier if you call me, so maybe you can plan a time when the family can be togeher and then call me. Let me know though so we can plan, pick either Christmas day or Christmas Eve which ever one would be better and let me know. :)
So pretty much the people are way kool here, but this area is a lot tougher to get into homes and so forth. The Branch is way small, but thats ok, we just need to work extremly hard. This place is awesome, i love it. Its like North Carolina in a way because there are so many trees and its going to be humid. Its kool though.
Oh ya did i tell you that i am almost like a trainer for Elder Hall? He has been out 6 weeks and the training is a 9 week program, so i have to finish 3 weeks with him and the training stuff. How kool! :)
Anyway all is well. I love you and miss you.

Transfered!!!!!!!; December 6, 2010
Yebo Sawubona!!!
I am doing good, I got some exciting news! I GOT TRANSFERED! Crazy right. So i am now serving in........ Nseleni which is another small township by Richards Bay! The place is very small and i've been here 4 days about and the people are really kool. I've been told that in a few months this place is going to get really hot, this is the hottest place in the whole mission. There are so many trees so i haven't seen the beach yet, but i probably will soonish i hope. We also might go to a game reserve and see some sweet animals this transfer, probably after Christmas.
My new companion is Elder Hall, he is also from South Africa, so thats 3 South African companions, so thats pretty kool. He is a way kool guy, he is white, he is from Petoria. He has only been out 6 weeks, so that makes me a step trainer, cuz he needs to finish his training for a few weeks. Its kinda crazy that i am with someone younger then me on mission but its kool.
Anyway thats all that is really going on here, i am still working on printing pictures but its kinda excpensive so it takes time but i will send them soon.
Wow a lot of stuff is goin down back home. Sorry o hear that some bad stuff is goin down, but i hope besides that, that you are doing well.
Oh ya, so there will be no more transfer meetings, so when we get transfered that means we have to take buses and planes to get around instead of driving, so with that i will have to send half of my stuff home if i get moved again, only if its far away from Durban so i hope i stay here for the rest of my mission haha, but we will see.
But so everything is going well. Im starting all over again it feels like, but i feel up to the challenge, we will see how it goes.
In closing i just miss you and want you to know how much i love you and how much i love the work and spreading the gospel to the lost sheep of South Africa and sometimes it gets overwhelming because there is so many lost sheep here but all i can do is keep moving and keep working hard. I love you so much.
