Things are going well here in Africa, not much has really happened
though we do have a few baptisms lined up lets see if they go through.
The weather is very hot!!! in the end of this month and beginning of
next month it will be the hottest time of the year!! its time to drink
lots of water. So lately i have been eating burgers, soup, rice,
chicken, beef, salad, eggs, the sunday terdition and some others as
well haha. some times pizza on friday its expensive haha. The most
exciting thing that has happend was transfer news, i will be leaving

in areas haha. i am kinda looking forward to the new area, the stake
pres. stays in that area. Sounds like you are moving around a lot
