  Do you have an actual church bldg to meet in? no just renting.  Are
you guys the main men in the ward? attachment to a branch 90min away.
ohhhh no were just missionaraies,

Words of Wisdom:  Sometimes it feels like an ice cream time, But is it
really time for an ice cream?? as kids we would eat sweets all three
meals of the day. but our parents know best for us and steer us clear
of doing that. But once we grow up we think that now we know when its
time for "ice cream" and when its time for food. We forget to consult
our heavenly parents to see if thats what we need to do.




Well, how have you been this week? Yea members are liking me alot now.
Are your temperatures dipping into the 60's yet? ummmm idk im looking at celcius. but its coooolllddd at night.
What can you do on p-day now that you are so far away from other Elders? Email.... climb mountains..... shop.... bout it.
Are you getting enough food? yea i need to go shopping. i made some videos. hope i can send them.
Any members ever feed you? no. well one fed us chicken one night. but not normal.
Is your boarding like a cabin up in Big Bear? No i live in a White House, In an area called america. Like an apartment.

What kind of food are you learning to cook? Ummm idk. spagettie, mashpotatos, salads, stew, breakfast stuff, mexican, stuff they eat here.
Do you have to go into Ficksburg to use a computer or is there one close to you? one close but it sucks and cost double. hahahahahahaha
Do you have any experiences you would like to share this week? Well I was teaching a lesson with 2 members yesterday. and we were teaching this mme about The Plan Of Salvation. and She had a question about why dont we remeber then, so i related it to a test. i said you study for the test. the teacher takes your notes away and gives you the test. You dont remeber what exactly you were studying but as you look at the test you remeber things. and she thought about it and realized that what i was saying is true. she said like our parents teach us rules buut not all of them. but we know whats right and whats wrong natrually. So she gained a testimony of those things we taught. Its not always about understanding why but its more about knowing if its true.
What positions did you have to fill for Church today? hahahahhaha the least that i had to. i just had my nose in miricle of forgiveness as much as possible.

Any more of your wonderful words of wisdom? Richard L. Evans... " Life moves in one direction only- and each day we are faced with an actual set of circumstances, not with what might have been, not with what we might have done, but with what is, and with where we are now- and from this point we must proceed: not from where we were, not from where we wish we were- but from where we are." Lets make sure that one direction is toward what matters most. And the things that last longest is what matters most.

Love others, even if you think they don't love you...
