Hey momma, :) We havent really found anyone to teach, well find people that will listen but we usually dont go back because they arent people that are going to progress. our ward is alright, the bishop is good, really direct, i like him, elder floresa is afraid of him. Yesterday we went to visit inactives with him and he says "you didnt come to church today, we came by to tell you that we would really like it if you could go to church next week" its refreshing, he doesnt beat around the bush at all. The members go to church but they dont do much else, but the bishop is trying to get things going which is good. They feed us every day, the big meal here is at 2 and then we work straight until 9 oclock and then we go home. it was rough at first but i am used to it now. we havent seen the fireside yet, we might watch it today. we have permission but we havent had time. i heard that the prophet said sisters have the responsability to serve missions too. what is spar? do you actually hit each other? Orin...take an alarm clock, and a bag to put your dirty garments in, and another bag for your other clothes, if you leave them on the floor they get scorpions in them, id imagine theres scorpions in africa too. tell him he is going to want to learn how to patch his clothes! thats probly it, you can survive without a lot of things, you just gotta get creative.   i decided my companion is the worlds worst scientist. he always says stuff like "the water we drank at lunch was really sour, and now im not nervous, i think if i eat sour things it will help me control my nerves" or "i am really nervous, because i drank chocolate milk in the morning, i should stay away from chocolate milk" he comes up with new hypothesis to control his nerves like 4 times a day and they are never good ideas.
