I wanted to let you know that he appears to be healthy and happy and well fed despite the Indian food with massive amounts of curry. We had dinner at the Branch President’s house last week. Your son is obviously well loved by President Ravi and his family including three very nice little girls: Amy, Kelly, and Heather. The other members of the branch also really enjoy being around your son.<o:p></o:p></div>

If he gets good he'll have to hit up this beach near me called Balito. its pretty sweet brah.</span><br />

This new area is cool. 100% different experience then my entire mission. its regular town. its majority english speaking. and christianity is not the majority. Its like starting mission all over again. Im teaching a lady that doesn't even know who heavenly father is and who Jesus Christ is. Didn't realize that people didnt know these things. hahaha we get fed like nuts. litterally the people could care less if your selling salvation or cars, if you knock on the door you'll get in and get juice if not a meal. then they just talk and ask you to go. haha ok, thanks for lunch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The work is great tho. I really have to be bold. i think i've said things in these past two weeks with people i met the first time in my life. then things that i would have said to people i've known my entire times in areas. just what you have to do. like no this is right and this is how we know. try it if you want to make it to heaven. now you can kick me out your door. haha</div>
<div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">My companion is Elder Armstrong and he is pretty cool. This past week I</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> gave a talk that lasted like 25 min and i didn't prepare and it was 100 percent by the spirit. i prayed for inspiration and it came. God's real and here to help us.</span></div>

Many members at Church this week? 37 i think.</div>
<div>
<br />The elections are over right? yea, the reigning goverment lost which is what the poeple wanted so thats good. How did that go? only minimal commotion. so far but people should be happy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did you have to worry about people being so upset they rioted? no cause the bad guys lost. so should be fine.<br />How is your companion doing? "Ayoba" he says.<br /><br />Do you have any Scooterisms for us this week? The lord is working miricles for us, but unless we stop and truely look for them we may never see them. Focus on those little blessing and remember that he loves you.</div>
<div>
<br />How about any experiences you would like to share? There was this Lady that went to the hospital so we went and helped out and before we left we offered a blessing and we left. The next day at church a member was referring to authority and priesthood and brought up the blessing and said that moments after the blessing the lady was joking around and alot more receptive. She left the hospital today. Was a real eye opener. I didnt even think that I should sit and see the results of the blessing. I just wanted to go eat.(mind you it was 11 and we still had to go home to prepare dinner and eat.) but those results meant soo much to those around us.</div>

Do you have any Scooter words for us? The plan of salvation is a power message of hope and a strong sign that our father in heaven loves us. It is outlined in the book of mormon soooo clearly for us to learn and grow from this divine message. It leads us as a lighthouse would a shipp thru our stormy times and our tidalwave trials. There is a quote that our dear presidency says that i use soo often in the lessons im in, "the things that matter most are the things that last the longest". we should remeber these things during times of weakness and travail. we should remember that our heavenly father loves us, and that these "faith trying" events in our lives are just minor bounds that will make us sooo much happier and stronger the next day. We should remeber that family is forever and that we will see those we loose again. soon. and we will be happy as will they as we live the gospel of christ.</div>

Please be careful! Is it a truck or car? Truck.<br />this truck has a new engine because someone baptised it..... hahahaha<br />Elder thatcher drowned it like 6 months back.<br />If this area is small, does that make it harder for you to track?<br />accually its big just not big city. just big rural.<br /> Not alot of people to reach out to? plenty<br /> Do you have an actual church bldg to meet in? no just renting. Are<br />you guys the main men in the ward? attachment to a branch 90min away.<br />ohhhh no were just missionaraies,<br /><br />Words of Wisdom: Sometimes it feels like an ice cream time, But is it<br />really time for an ice cream?? as kids we would eat sweets all three<br />meals of the day. but our parents know best for us and steer us clear<br />of doing that. But once we grow up we think that now we know when its<br />time for "ice cream" and when its time for food. We forget to consult<br />our heavenly parents to see if thats what we need to do.</span><br />

Progressing investigators moved. A family decided to wait till October to be baptized, and everyone has bunked us. Worst of all on Sunday our branch president offended our investigators..... and at the end of the day the 2 goals me and my companion had set as our focus was what we got. I said i want Pinkie our druggy investigator back on our progressing list. Happened late Sunday we stopped by and she wants to see us tomorrow. And Elder Jallah said that he wanted Nomfundo on progressing with a baptisimal date ready to give her. Sunday after church she set an apointment with us and we explain the restoration with her. which means baptismal date will be set next week.</span><br />

<div>Remember that when you see something causing a problem, is it a baggage or nesessity? baggage? drop it.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>While digging for diamonds in life, focus on looking at the small diamonds in life rather than the mound of dirt thats piles up. We will go thru so much for a little mercy moment but as we focus on those moments we will find great happiness in life. Those moments are the molecules that make up eternity.</div><div><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Digging for diamonds takes along time but that small pile of precious stones at the end of the day is far worth it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Repentence cost afflictions. Afflictions are the demands to meet justice. Justice ensures that there will be a final peace. Final peace will only come as we are patient in our afflictions. so the quicker its done. the quicker we will be happy again.</span><br />

How are things in your part of the world? </div><div class="MsoNormal">A. Good. they are having a Climate change meeting like 2 hours from our flat. Tooo bad none of the families in the gov so i could see them hahaha. but yea.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
Q. Are you in good health? </div><div class="MsoNormal">A. Seem to be fine. im a solid 80 kg's. I'm taking a multi vitamin for general well being and a few other supliments to help with other things. and i feel healthy. ha</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Q. Are you happy?</div><div class="MsoNormal">A. For the most part yea. i wont lie and say everyday is a dream day. but its more highs than lows.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Q. How is your teaching pool going?</div><div class="MsoNormal">A. Pretty solid.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Q. Do you know if you will have a new comp. before Christmas? </div><div class="MsoNormal">A. ummm ill probably have a new comp on december like 12th. but its cool ill just send the stocking with the comp that i have.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sooooo spiritual experience: Ummmmm we were being harrased by a large group of drunk guys. They wanted a prayer(weird enough.) so Finally they had all bowed their heads and said that i would say it. but i had already blown my temper so i was at a loss for words. but i said the prayer and most definitly was helped alot by the spirit. and i basically taught a lessson in the prayer and alll of them(except one) were quiet and humble after the prayer. they looked sad. and we left. weird. maybe i helped one of them get over their drinking problems.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Side note. I was thinking about Family alot this week(dont worry) not like getting trunky thinking like just thinking about the importance of family. Because in our lifes there are only 2 constant things that wont change. 1 The gospel. no brainer. the gospel doesnt change. if it changes then god changes and i dont beleive in a changing god. and 2 Family. Regardless of dead or alive or being born, freinds or enemies, close or far. they are always your family. youll be stuck with them forever. Soooo that should be the foundation of our lifes. if those are the biggest part in our lifes then life will be stable. constantly. So what are we doing to make those loved ones in our life feel loved? Im really lagging on it. i have like 8 letters to send. and i just havent gotten to the post office. sorry im the worst. but hope i will get better.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Love you guys</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

For Elder Shipp's birthday he received money and with that money he bought himself an e-reader. He has loved it because there are so many church books that he can upload for free! Being the tech savy guy he is he also figured out to record his voice on it and send a recorded letter to us! Yes, we got to hear his voice!!! It was so great to hear the joy in his voice and know that he is truly happy serving in the area he is in right now. As a matter of fact it almost sounded like he was having too much fun :)! <br />
<br />
The unfortunate part of having a recorded message is that all I can rely on are my notes...so here goes my attempt to translate his voice onto paper:<br />
<br />
He is still having problems with his bike. There are so many thorns from plants that his tires keep getting holes in them. The weather has been extreme...90 degrees with 90% humidity and then out of no where cold, windy with heavy rains. <br />
<br />
His companion is Elder Tidwell from Vegas. His companion is a Zone leader and Elder Shipp is a District leader so Elder Shipp gets to go along on baptism interviews which he enjoys. <br />
<br />
They seem to be having a good time together as he explained their "War with the Wasp". One night there were many wasps in their flat so to get rid of them they torched them, smacked them with a broom and shot them with pellet guns. Elder Shipp said that Elder Tidwell is a sharp shooter! They are also going to visit a game park with water buffalo, giraffes and elephants. For Halloween they dressed up by wearing eachothers name tags!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately they still have not had the opportunity to listen to conference. That bums him out.<br />
<br />
He signed off with:<br />

EISH. AnD HUMID!!! wow. I went from the coldest area in the coldest season to the hottest area in the hottest season in my mission.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">But We did the work. Had some trials tho. My area is a biking area and we had tons of bike problems this week. but regardless of the bike problems we continued to work.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">So that got me thinking. Why the heck do we face sooo many problems. especially when were doing the right things. Why?? thats like doing what mom says then having her ground you anyways. What the heck! So i started to analyse these trial and figure out what caused them and what was happening casue of them and what the outcome looked like becasue of the trials. And i came to a conclusion. Every trial that we face weather our fault or some other person or things fault is there to help us grow. We walked most of the week but on the days we rode we faced flat tires. and we bonded. i could only pump a tire up so many times till i was finished in the heat. but my companions gladly stepped in and helped with my burden. Instead of getting angry that my bike had problems we worked thru it as a team. and because of it we are alot more like friends then co workers. also the walking this week has helped me bond with them and get to know them. its not easy going into a 3some when the companions your joining have already been together for 2 transfers. eish i was definitly alienated and the bording has been the same for 2 transfers so im the new guy. but now im part of the family. all cause the bikes gave out. But you can apply this principal to all of you life trials. What are we Faceing now in our life? What caused it?? Whats happening cause of it??? These trials could easily be looked at as blessings. and oppertunities to grow.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Thats about all i got for this week.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
